What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Not far from the State Opera, on the bustling Andrássy Avenue, is this 19C townhouse. Original inlaid floors and an impressive decorative ceiling remain.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The historic M1 metro nearby links directly to Széchenyi Baths, and Király Street's bustling bars are a five-minute walk east.
The rooms
Rooms line the central courtyard with understated Art Deco styling. Upper-floor suites look straight out toward St. Stephen's Basilica.
Sauna and massage
The basement Finnish sauna is scented with essential oils, beside a private room for massages and facials.
At the table
Zenobia serves Syrian and Lebanese dishes on the Andrássy Avenue terrace, and sets out the morning buffet inside.
How it began
Sugar baron Henrik Schossberger built the palace in the 1880s. It later housed Budapest's first cinema and, briefly, a ruin pub.
