"For a crash course in Budapest’s historical opulence (in hotel form) one need look no further than the Áurea Ana Palace Hotel, a classic luxury hotel built from a pair of 19th-century palaces on the east bank of the Danube. The public spaces retain much of their original grandeur, in carefully restored form, while the rooms and suites are contemporary creations with generous helpings of antique atmosphere. There’s an expansive spa and wellness center as well as Gastrobar, a versatile upscale restaurant and bar." - Tablet Hotels
