When I arrived in Budapest, I was worried I might have contracted malaria because I had just come in from Africa and had developed a fever. I wasn’t even staying at the Four Seasons but a couple of friends, (Stacy Small and Laura Fairweather) informed the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace to contact me to help assist me in finding a doctor. They were a big help as well as MedJet Assist and the Sofitel Budapest. It turns out I felt much better a day later and my fever broke so I stopped worrying about malaria.
However, Veronika, The Four Seasons PR person, was kind enough to offer me a room to rest but since I was comfortable in my Scenic Cruises bed, I declined but said I was available to check out their spa. She said come on over and that’s exactly what I did.
It was a picturesque 20-minute walk from the ‘space ship’ to the hotel, which included crossing over the famous Chain Bridge. Even if you aren’t staying at the Four Seasons, I suggest you walk into the lobby, as it’s jaw-droppingly beautiful. And my 50-minute spa treatment with a Hungarian therapist named Eva was just what the doctor ordered. She had the smoothest hands I’ve ever felt and she was strong.
I loved the marble floors and the fact that she took off her shoes so there was no squeaking. I enjoyed the music (picture of the CD is shown below in photo gallery). All of it was amazing and I hope you get to experience it one day.
Thank you Veronika for setting it up! Pictures are below.
Wow, amazing place! Would love to come and visit this one day as well. Nice share!
Unbelievable interiors! It’s a beautiful Art Nouveau building right in front of the Chain Bridge. Views must have been great!
Would love to stay there for at least a night!
