Hotel Rum Budapest
High-spirited design
A waltz from the Danube
Awash with eye-grabbing interiors by some of Budapest’s hottest homegrown talent, Rum Hotel Budapest packs a lot of design dazzle into its boutique proportions. Vestiges of the building’s Twenties-era origins also still impress, especially its supremely ‘grammable spiral staircase. In fact, every corner of this majestic Pest townhouse will have you reaching for your phone. A Michelin-gong restaurant sits at the heart of the hotel, too, and crowning it all, a rooftop brunch restaurant provides the perfect spot for admiring the city’s glorious skyline, in style.

Our Favourite Rooms
No two of the Hotel Rum’s 40 rooms are the same, though they do all share a common thread of quirky-hip meets industrial-chic. While rooms between the second and fourth floors have floor-to-ceiling windows, we plumped for one of the smaller rooms, which you’ll find from the fifth level and up, for a cosier mood and more elevated city views.
Spa
There’s no spa, however the hotel is happy to arrange visits to and treatments in Budapest’s wonderful Széchenyi and Gellért thermal baths.
Packing Tips
Don’t forget your bathing togs and flip-flops if you’re planning a visit to one of the city’s spas.
Also
Due to its heritage building status, the hotel cannot offer wheelchair access or adapted rooms.
Дети
Little Smiths of all ages are welcome, though don’t expect anything particularly child-friendly. They don’t have interconnecting rooms either, but some can sleep a family of four.

Food & Drink
Top Table
You'll be seated by staff here so it isn't a matter of choice, but it's a small and intimate space and everyone is centred near or around the chef's table.

Hotel Restaurant
With award-winning chef and co-owner Szilárd Tóth at the helm, it didn't take long for Michelin to slap a star on the hotel’s ground-floor Salt restaurant, for which you'll need to book in advance. Drawing deeply from traditional Hungarian cooking, herbs and other wild edibles are mostly foraged by Szilárd himself. The rest is produced by local farmers and much of the meat comes from his family business. The dining concept is rather more left-field, with a secret 15-course menu – you can choose to have it revealed before you begin or let yourself be surprised by each dish. True to the restaurant’s Hungarian roots, freshly baked bread plays a central role in the experience. You can also choose to pair each course with a Hungarian wine, and non-drinkers have the option of their booze-free tipples whizzed up by a professional juicer. The tasting menu is also available in vegetarian and vegan versions. Up on the seventh floor of Hotel Rum, mornings are equally well catered for. With its tall wraparound windows, their Solid rooftop restaurant provides glorious cityscape panoramas while you tuck into an outstanding à la carte breakfast menu. Off-the-beaten-track options such as cottage-cheese dumplings and cauliflower with miso yoghurt sit beside cooked-to-perfection eggs Benedict and buckwheat pancakes. A Champagne-based eye-opener is also an option.
Last Orders
The Solid rooftop restaurant kitchen closes at 11.30 am. Salt is open from 6pm to 11pm Wednesday to Saturday.
Planes
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is the nearest, at 25 to 35 minutes away by road. Flights connect directly here from hubs throughout Europe. You can arrange an airport pick-up service through the hotel (from €40 one-way for a maximum of four passengers).
Trains
If you’re entering Budapest by rail, you’ll arrive at either Nyugati or Keleti station, both of which are about two kilometres from the hotel. Metro lines from either connect to Kálvin square, a few minutes’ stroll from the hotel.
Automobiles
With its decent metro and tram systems, you certainly won’t need your own set of wheels to get around Budapest. Besides, hands down the best way to explore the city is on foot. If you are planning on exploring beyond the city, there’s no shortage of car rental agencies close by.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
The Hungarian capital is a city forged from the forces of history, and most of its glorious and tumultuous past remains perfectly preserved and very much on display. Most evident is its collection of flamboyant architecture ranging from the baroque to art nouveau. Turn right out of the hotel and you’re just steps from Egyetem Square, with its grand 17th-century Eötvös Loránd University building and dramatically spired University Church. The nearby Palace District with its scattering of 19th-century architectural jewels among an artsy neighbourhood makes for a rewarding stroll, as well as being home to the Hungarian National Museum. Head back towards the river along the stately Vámház boulevard, and you’ll pass the turn-of-the-century Central Market Hall. It’s a huge bustling space bursting with colourful stalls piled high with regional produce and Hungarian delicacies. From here you’re just across the river from one of the city’s finest hot-spring spas, Gellért Spa. Extravagant Moorish-influenced architecture combines with mineral-rich waters and budget-friendly massages. Feeling revitalised, climb neighbouring Gellért Hill up to the Citadella fort and Liberty Statue for spectacular views of Gothic icon Buda Castle and city-wide panoramas.
