Aria Hotel Budapest at the 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards

The American Condé Nast Traveler and the British Condé Nast Traveller have published the results of their annual Readers’ Choice Awards poll, according to which the Aria Hotel Budapest by Library Hotel Collection received two separate awards: readers of both publications independently ranked the hotel sixth among the best hotels in the region, which includes Hungary.

The US Condé Nast Traveler survey received more than 757,000 responses, while the UK Condé Nast Traveller collected more than 182,500 reader opinions. In these, travelers rated their experiences around the world, providing a comprehensive picture of the places they would most like to return to. The Readers' Choice Awards, the oldest and most prestigious reader-awarded recognition in tourism, continue to be a symbol and proof of proven excellence in the travel sector. The Aria Hotel Budapest's commitment and exceptional services made a lasting impression on readers, thanks to which the hotel once again ranked among the best.

"The secret to Aria's success is that we see luxury not in empty glitz, but in the attention we pay to our guests and in musical inspiration. Every gesture we make is about ensuring that our guests return home with a personal, memorable and emotionally rich experience. We are proud that many of our guests who spend their free time with us return to us several times a year. For many, a visit to Aria has become a habit that they never miss when they travel," hotel manager Máté Tolnai said.

Several Budapest hotels are included in this year's lists evaluating the world's best hotels, cruises, countries, cities, resorts, trains, airlines, airports, spas, islands, luggage, villas, and ski resorts: in the US vote, W Budapest came in 5th place in the Central and Southern Europe region, while Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest came in 9th place; readers in the United Kingdom ranked the Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest 11th in the "Other Europe" region and the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest 15th.
