The hotel holds 179 guest rooms, including 14 suites. You’ll want one that faces the Danube and features sweeping views of the Chain Bridge, the water, and steep Buda, capped by the Castle District.

Standard guest rooms feature every comfort – downy pillows and soft beds, flatscreen TVs, terry robes, an electronic safe. Along with some of our favorite candy bars and drinks both alcoholic and non, the minibar tempts with a few uncommon objects. These include a Rubik’s cube (Rubik, like many of the world’s geniuses, was Hungarian) and hand-painted greeting cards.

The large marble bathroom in our guest room held two sinks, a glassed-in shower, a deep and spacious bathtub accompanied by the hotel’s own brand of bath salts for lingering soaks, a lighted magnifying makeup mirror, and a separate area for the toilet and bidet. L’Occitane's intoxicating verbena-scented soaps, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner are furnished.

At turndown, the Four Seasons delivers an especially nice touch: A plate with three bite-size pastries to send you off to sweet dreams.
