Set in a 19th-century apartment building in the Inner City on the Pest side of the Danube, Hotel Rum is a thoroughly contemporary boutique hotel, blending modern post-industrial design with an ornate antique atmosphere.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The entrance sits on a quiet lane in Belváros, two minutes from Kálvin tér and the Hungarian National Museum.
The rooms
Compact layouts have an industrial edge, with metro-tiled bathrooms, Edison bulbs, and rough stone in select rooms.
Restaurant
SOLID Sky Bar
The glass conservatory looks out toward Gellért Hill, with breakfast plates and wine pairings served beneath hanging greenery.
How it began
The 19th-century townhouse held offices and private apartments before two Hungarian restaurateurs converted it into a hotel in 2016.
