Mixing Asian-inspired glamor with sleek, contemporary design, the luxurious Buddha-Bar Hotel is located right on on the famous shopping street of Vaci Utca. The hotel is reminiscent of a Buddhist temple, with colonial-style furniture and Chinese and Japanese artifacts throughout. The historic building has 102 rooms and suites, as well as the trendy Buddhattitude Spa, a restaurant, and multiple event rooms. The only thing it lacks is a swimming pool; if you're looking for a hotel that has one, The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest -- a 10-minute walk away -- might be a better choice.
