at Corinthia Budapest
There’s a certain magic to Budapest in winter, and at Corinthia, the festive season comes with a little extra sparkle. Think celebratory dining, cherished traditions and evenings made for lingering, all leading up to a New Year’s Eve to remember. Step inside for a season of warmth, wonder and unmistakable Budapest glamour.
Some gifts are better experienced than unwrapped. A leisurely dinner, a restorative spa ritual or a night in the heart of Budapest. Corinthia Budapest gift vouchers let them choose the experience that suits them best. For the person who has everything, give them something wonderful to look forward to.
Sundays are made for lingering, and in December, for a little extra Christmas magic. Gather family and friends at Brasserie & Atrium for generous seasonal buffets, festive favourites and glasses raised beneath the glow of the Atrium. From a special visit by Santa Claus to the enchanting voices of a children’s choir, each brunch brings its own reason to celebrate.

ROYAL SPA
Step away from Budapest’s winter chill and into the warmth of Royal Spa. Our seasonal rituals are designed for slow afternoons and well deserved moments of calm, from the deeply warming Winter Spice experience to the restorative Winter Glow & Sole. Think warm oils, glowing skin, soothing treatments and, naturally, a glass of prosecco. Available from 1 December to 3 January.
There are few times when Budapest feels quite as enchanting as it does in the weeks before Christmas. As daylight fades, the city begins to glow. Lights shimmer above the streets, the scent of cinnamon, roasted chestnuts and kürtőskalács drifts through the air, and Budapest’s grand squares become gathering places for locals and visitors alike.
Two of the city’s best known festive markets are within an easy stroll of one another. Vörösmarty Square fills with Hungarian crafts, seasonal flavours and gifts, while nearby Advent Basilica brings artisan stalls, festive food and spectacular light projections to the magnificent setting of St Stephen’s Basilica.
Beyond the markets, winter in Budapest is an invitation simply to wander. Follow the lights along Andrássy Avenue, take an evening stroll beside the Danube or slip into one of the city’s historic cafés for something warm.
Perhaps the loveliest way to experience Christmas in Budapest is not to rush it at all. Take a cup of mulled wine, follow the lights and see where the evening leads.
For the latest market dates, opening hours and festive programmes, our Concierge team will be delighted to assist.
Make Corinthia Budapest your festive home in the city. Settle in for a winter stay filled with leisurely breakfasts, seasonal dining, time to unwind at Royal Spa and thoughtful festive touches, all within easy reach of Budapest’s Christmas lights, markets and winter traditions. A city escape made for slowing down, staying a little longer and enjoying Budapest at its most magical.
