Being on a business trip, you will probably look for a hotel in the city centre. On the Pest (East) side of the Danube you can find three five-star hotels, Four Seasons Gresham Palace, Intercontinental, and the Marriott (and Marriott Suites), on the opposite side of the river, in the Castle, is the fourth, Budapest Hilton. On the pulse of the capital, the Grand Boulevard, are two luxury hotels, the Grand Hotel Royal and the Boscolo New York Palace. On the outer part of Andrássy avenue is the five-star Bauhaus building of Andrássy Hotel. At the foot of Castle hill, there are numerous three and four star hotels, like Art'otel, the brand new Lánchíd Hotel, or Hotel Carlton. In the city centre you can find five-star hotels le Meridien and Kempinski, while K+K Opera and Boutique Hotel Zara have four stars. Nice for a business trip are Mercure Korona, Taverna, or Hotel Erzsébet. With three stars Best Western Art Hotel, the nice and modern jewel Hotel Pest, or the Ambra in the old Jewish quarter are also to be mentioned.
At the airport there are no hotels yet, but the town next to it offers some nice hotels, from where you can reach the terminals in 5-10 minutes by a free transfer bus.
