Terms and conditions

At Corinthia, we always strive to provide the best rates on our website. If you don’t think we have, we’ll pay for 100% of your room on the first night, and price match the rest. Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.

Process for making a claim:

Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.

Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).

Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will pay for 100% of the room charges of your first night, and will price match the room for the rest of your stay. You will be charged for all nights booked at the matched rate, minus the first night which will be free.

Terms and Conditions:

Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:

Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.

The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.

The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.

The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.

Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.

The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.

The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.

Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.

In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.

Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.

The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.

The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.

Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.

If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.

Candlelit cruises, thermal baths, Michelin-star dinners – set the right mood with these romantic things to do in Budapest

With its historic palaces, magnificent sights and expansive riverside views, Budapest is an ideal location for a romantic trip for two. The Hungarian capital is filled with opportunities to inspire amour, from climbing Fisherman’s Bastion for incredible cityscape views, to candlelit dinners on the River Danube. To inspire your next escape, here are some of the best romantic things to do in Budapest.

Explore Buda Castle District

Follow in the footsteps of Budapest’s Kings and Queens at the Buda Castle District. Explore the quaint cobblestone streets to uncover historic landmarks such as The Royal Palace, Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion. There are also a number of interesting museums, such as The Castle Museum, and charming cafés and restaurants for a leisurely breakfast or lunch. Reach the hilltop attraction by taking the Castle Hill Funicular from the famous Széchenyi Chain Bridge or, if you’re feeling energetic, by climbing the Király lépcső ‘Royal Steps’.

Take In The View At Fisherman’s Bastion

Originally built to commemorate the fishermen who protected the city, Fisherman’s Bastion is not only a striking structure, but also one of Budapest’s most impressive lookout points. After marvelling at the seven medieval turrets (representing seven Hungarian tribes), climb to the top level for unbelievable panoramic vistas. For added romance, visit at sunset and watch the light fade over the city below.

Soak In Budapest’s Thermal Baths

After a busy day of sightseeing, why not indulge in some pampering at one of Budapest’s famous thermal baths. Take a dip in the hot waters of Király Bath, the oldest bathhouse in the city; the ancient Ottoman-style Veli Bej Bath; the riverside Rudas Bath; or the grand Széchenyi Bath, the largest baths in the city with nearly 20 indoor and outdoor pools to enjoy..

Go For A Romantic Sunset Walk

With its fairy tale castles and riverside views, Budapest at sunset is something to be savoured. Before heading off to one of the city’s many excellent restaurants for an evening meal, take the time for a leisurely sunset stroll. Walk along the river as the sun starts to go down or walk up Gellért Hill and pick a spot near the Statue of Liberty for the best sunset views.

Enjoy A Romantic Dinner

If you’re looking for a unique place to celebrate a special occasion, or perhaps even to ‘pop the question’, Budapest has plenty of options. The city has five Michelin-star restaurants and two Bib Gourmand eateries serving authentic Hungarian cuisine and international flavours. Visit the glamorous Onyx restaurant to enjoy Hungarian dishes with a modern twist under the light of sparkling chandeliers. Alternatively, head to Costes (the first Budapest restaurant to receive a Michelin star) for innovative, modern cuisine in immaculate settings.
