Map of Budapest

This “Paris of the East” has long been known as a gay center of Eastern Europe, but things have really taken off since reintegration with the West. There is no single gay neighborhood, but most gay-popular bars and clubs can be found in Pest in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th districts, many within walking distance of one another. Defining lines aren't drawn as sharply here as in the West – except at men's saunas or cruise bars – and people mix more.

 Széchenyi István tér 5, 1051 Hungary

All rooms and spacious suites offer iPod Docking Station, satellite TV, wired and wireless internet connection and marble-covered bathrooms with a spacious bath or a shower cabin. Most of the suites are provided with a further guest bathroom and some of the rooms also feature a step-out balcony with panoramic views of the Danube River and the Castle Hill.
