Review: Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace

The second hotel in the Buddha-Bar line gives new life to the secession-era Klotild Palace, an architectural masterpiece in the street-smart district of Pest. Guest rooms are large for this part of Europe, and come with Nespresso machines and remote-control Japanese-style toilets (no excuse for not putting the seat down—there's a button for that). The flatiron-style building is ideally sited for exploring boutiques and museums, although amorous types will probably choose to stay in and enjoy the romantic atmosphere. The trendy pan-Asian restaurant draws locals and hotel guests, the latter primarily from western Europe and the Middle East.
