10 Reasons Why Aria Budapest is the Most Beautiful Boutique Hotel in Europe @ariabudapest

We had so little time to prepare for our honeymoon trip and boy, I was so glad that Aria Budapest gladly accommodated Jon and I even with such short notice. I got pretty excited knowing that I will be staying in one of their properties once again and also that we will finally be experiencing a Danube River cruise that we arranged with Tinggly.com. Just so you know, I have stayed in different Aria hotels and I would always experience the best! Our stay in Budapest further proved that. To begin with, we were picked up by a luxurious Mercedes.

Aria Budapest is known as one of the best hotels in Europe and I perfectly understood why. I know they have a more ‘professional’ criteria for branding Aria Budapest as such, but let me tell you my 10 reasons why this is the most beautiful boutique hotel in Europe. And I’m not just referring to honeymooners. I recommend this to all travelers.

If you want to have a breath of fresh air, then nothing beats the view from Aria Budapest’s rooftop. And while you are at it, make sure that you order the best cocktails and just savor the fantastic sight.

Destiny has been good to us. I can still remember the times where we would sleep at the cheapest hostels and accommodations. I still miss those days though. But you see, I already envisioned myself living the good life. Laying on my bed at Aria Budapest and seeing the classy music – inspired furnishing in our room – I can say that #DreamsDoComeTrue.
