With a signature Italian restaurant, lounge (specialising in cakes and Sunday brunch) and a bar, there is plenty of choice at The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest when you’re not out exploring the city. Rooms and suites with Club Level access include breakfast and refreshments throughout the day.

Ottimo

Italian fare in the heart of Budapest is served at this authentic, refined restaurant. Comforting favourites from Italy – like quattro formaggi pizza and spaghetti carbonara – are served alongside a menu of more delicate dishes, including the risotto with porcini mushrooms and grilled king prawns. And there are sharing dishes too, served with complementing wines.

Kupola Lounge

This elegant lounge is a great spot to grab breakfast if you’ve not upgraded to Club Level, with classics like egg benedict alongside Hungarian specialties.
A light lunch menu boasts tasty bites like traditional goulash alongside favourites like club sandwiches. There are also delicious cakes and pastries that are perfect for afternoon tea, and wines, cocktails, draught beers and a selection of homemade lemonades.

Kupola Bar

This classy cocktail and wine bar is a chic spot to grab a drink that’s open until 1am. There are small, tapas-style bar snacks on the menu such as truffle fries, and cocktails are given a Hungarian twist, like the paprika margarita.

Club Lounge

If you’ve upgraded your room to Club Level at the Ritz-Carlton then you’ll have access to the luxurious Club Lounge. An extended breakfast, light lunches, hors d'oeuvres, desserts and complimentary beverage service (including wine and spirits) are served daily. There is also a selection of Hungarian wines to try from the built-in wine vault, selected from the country’s finest vineyards.

Spa & Wellness

Modern facilities and a nod to Budapest’s wellness traditions create a dreamy backdrop for treatments in The Ritz-Carlton Spa. Using products from ESPA, you can choose from a large menu of therapies, with all the usual massages and facials; or for an extra special spa experience an immersive therapy like The Royal Palace Ritual, carried out in a thermal suite.
Within the spa is a naturally lit indoor pool reminiscent of Budapest’s thermal baths, as well as a soaking tub, sauna and steam room.
A 24-hour fitness centre sits alongside the spa.

Ritz-Carlton goes to town when it comes to little VIPs, and that’s certainly true here. Rooms and suites can have special amenities ready for their younger guests’ arrival, and complimentary treats include a soft toy lion, colouring books, crayons and games to play.
The luxury hotel group’s RitzKids programme is available, designed to encourage children to explore the sights and sounds of their new environment and introduce them to a new culture in a fun and immersive way.

Of course you’re likely to be in Budapest for the sightseeing, and this luxury hotel places you right in the heart of the city.

Dessert lovers can also experience The Art of Cake; ideal if you’re marking a special celebration in Budapest.
If you’re staying over a weekend then Sunday Brunch at The Ritz-Carlton Budapest is highly recommended, where tables are laden with appetizers, seafood on ice, a salad bar and sweet treats from the Art of Cake.
