Planning a weekend away? May we recommend Budapest. Just a two-hour flight from the UK, the Central European city has developed a reputation for being both a party destination and relatively cheap. Win-win! Of course, with so many incredible places to stay, finding the best hotels in Budapest and the best things to do while you're there is no mean feat.
There’s also the sort of memorabilia you probably associate with the Hard Rock brand – stage outfits worn by Katy Perry and Ariana Grande, for instance – but influential Hungarian musicians also feature, and there’s original artwork by local artists. The hotel is uniquely designed to reflect the city and culture on its doorstep.Best hotel in Budapest for old school luxury - Matild Palace
