The hotel has eccentric styling, opening into a brightly-lit lobby lounge area scattered with colourful high-backed armchairs where you can enjoy a drink from the bar. Each morning, a full continental breakfast buffet is available, where you can load up on fresh fruit and vegetables, breads, pastries, cheese and cured meats before you head out for the day.

What The Honest Budapest by Chic and Basic has to offer

    District VII

    The Soho Hotel sits right in the middle of District VII. Also known as Erzsébetváros, it’s an area famed for its rich history, especially within the Jewish Quarter where you’ll find Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest one in Europe. Today, it blends history with a pulsating nightlife through its notorious ‘ruin bars’, which are eclectic drinking spots often housed in dilapidated pre-war buildings. Wander around and you’ll discover all kinds of colourful street art, quirky shops, and boho-chic cafes. 

    Hungarian Parliament Building

    Standing prominently on the banks of the Danube, the Parliament Building is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture. It's the largest building in Hungary and houses the Holy Crown, which has been worn by the country’s monarchs since the 12th century. The building is spectacularly adorned with 88 statues of Hungarian rulers, pointed arches, and intricately detailed stained glass. Only 10 minutes by tram from the hotel, you can’t miss this fantastic photo opportunity.

    City of Spas

    Budapest sits on a myriad of hot springs, which has created a bathing tradition that dates back to Roman times. The best-known baths are Széchenyi and Gellért, with Gellért being the nearest to the Soho Hotel, less than 20 minutes away by public transport. They provide a blend of relaxation and socialisation, with therapeutic waters rich in minerals celebrated for their healing properties. Spend an afternoon immersing yourself in the soothing waters and you’ll leave feeling on top of the world.
