Picolo recommends · Hotel in Budapest, Hungary
Hotel Clark Budapest
The Parliament and the Chain Bridge framed in your window, and a rooftop bar where the whole Pest bank lights up after dark.
The hotel stands at the very spot where the Chain Bridge reaches Buda, beside the funicular that climbs to the royal palace. It is a slim, modern building, and its architecture is all about the outlook across the river.
From the rooms facing the water you see the bridge and the Parliament straight ahead. Up on the roof, the bar is the place to be at dusk, when the lights come on along the far bank one stretch at a time.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Clark Budapest
This is our romantic pick for its view and its calm, adult atmosphere. Rooms are compact but cleverly planned, and a five-minute walk over the bridge brings you into the heart of Pest.
Families will find the rooms on the small side, and the Buda bank has far fewer restaurants and bars. Expect to cross the river most evenings if you want a lively dinner.
What you get
