Hotel Overview
Review of Meridien Budapest, by Graeme Harwood
Le Meridien luxury hotel in Budapest is a five star member of the Leading Hotels of the World. Though formal in its demeanor, this luxury hotel knows how to attract guests, and does not shy away from offering promotional deals. With striped upholstery, high ceilings, polished dark wood and the bendy wrought-iron work of French Imperial styling, it is evident that Le Meridien is a luxury hotel that makes the most of its historical side.
The facilities
Dining at Le Meridien is truly a first-rate affair. The exceptional service at French restaurant Le Bourbon is second only to the restaurant's delectable cuisine. The restaurant's impressive cheese trolley features 10 varieties of fine French cheese delivered weekly from the famous market halls of Paris. The luxury hotel's Atrium Cafe is known equally for its breathtaking stained-glass dome as it is for its homemade French patisserie and English high tea. Le Meridien's Adria Palace Bar is the perfect place to unwind with a delicious cocktail.
The luxury hotel's health club is located on the roof and gives guests a great view. After working out, guests can relax in the hotel sauna. Be sure to take a dip in the hotel's indoor swimming pool, or Jacuzzi. Le Meridien takes pride in catering to all types of guests, so if you are traveling with children, be sure to look into the luxury hotel's babysitting services. Guests can even bring their four-legged friends with them, as small pets are allowed in the hotel!

Review of The Meridien, by Jamie Dunford Wood
The rooms
The French empire style Meridien luxury hotel in Budapest features 218 rooms, including 26 suites, with cool white marble flooring in the common parts and thick silent plush carpeting upstairs. The rooms at the back are quietest, while the eighth floor has balcony views over the park. A triumph of style and discretion, this ex-police headquarters is just what every business guest should hanker after. Pale yellow wallpapers, hasteful paintings and prints and fine fabrics make this luxury hotel the finest international hotel in Budapest.
