Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest

The Kempinski is arguably the Four Season's greatest competition for title holder of the swankiest hotel in town. So let's argue the case for them. Well, it helps that it is home to the Budapest chapter of the Nobu restaurant, but it's all the little touches that make it so luxuriant. Whether that be complimentary dressing gowns or the open fire burning in the Fox bar, the relatively large rooms with marble-tiled bathroom floors, the dazzling array of choice at breakfast time or simply the service, which is, in a word, impeccable.
