Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Formerly the Hyatt, this hotel was totally transformed into the Sofitel Budapest, the only Sofitel in Hungary. The brand-new lobby has a definite Parisian flare to it with the central elevator and a large, splashy Biblioték area where guests can sit and borrow a book to read. The hallways and rooms have been redecorated with soft beige on beige designs and the beds have luxurious new bedspreads and huge pillows. Bathrooms are a good size with marble tile and countertops of gray and cream. Rooms on floors one to seven have a tub/shower combo, while those on the eighth-floor executive level have separate showers and bathtubs plus access to the executive lounge where snacks, drinks, and a special breakfast is served. Junior suites on several floors have kitchenettes and a combined living room and bedroom. The fitness center is decked out with a large indoor pool, exercise room, massage area, and sauna. One floor is nonsmoking.
