Anantara New York Palace Budapest Hotel

I had the pleasure of staying at the Anantara New York Palace for two nights on my recent trip to Budapest. The highlights of the stay included the attentive staff and lovely accommodations. The team did a great job. When I called down for extra towels, they answered addressing me by name and already knew my room number, which made for a seamless experience. I also had some trouble in the locker room when visiting the pool, and the staff on site quickly helped and put me at ease. The room featured a comfortable bed, a beautiful view, and fresh flowers in the bathroom, which were a nice touch. I also appreciated that we received multiple complimentary bottles of water that were regularly restocked. While there was a countrywide mandate preventing room temperatures from being set below 70°F due to the energy crisis, I still found the room to be a very comfortable temp. Returning after a long day out to find turn-down service had been provided was a wonderful surprise. As a helpful bonus, the hotel emailed me prior to my arrival with a comprehensive PDF covering everything to know about Budapest. The lobby bar and the stunning central atrium were additional highlights of the property. My only minor critique is that the bathroom had some small cosmetic flaws, such as a slight gap where the faucet meets the wall. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would gladly return.

The hotel’s facilities and hardware are excellent, and the service is outstanding. The breakfast is very rich with a wide variety of options, and everything tastes great. All the staff are very friendly and professional. On my mother’s birthday morning, they even prepared a cake for her, which was such a lovely surprise. Thanks to Zsolt, he’s very kind. We really appreciated it and had a wonderful stay.

Hotel and staff was outstanding; absolutely loved the lobby. We ate in the hotel restaurant one night and had a great experience. Rooms were spacious and well detailed. Two small observations on the room bathrooms: (1) while the bathroom was good sized, the counter was not, always a hassle to try and juggle toiletries on a tiny countertop (2) the shower was in the corner where 2 sides were a shower curtain - never had this before and was definitely not a good design or experience.
