The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus is a luxurious hotel in central Budapest named after Matthais Corvinus, a former King of Hungary. So it should come as no surprise that the hotel was designed to placate the rich and powerful. We’re neither. We’re just posers who happened to get an unfathomably good deal.
Visiting a thermal bath in Budapest is a lot like riding a roller coaster: the wait to get on is stressful and nerve-wracking, but the payoff is worth it. And the Széchenyi Baths is the biggest roller coaster of them all.
We’re not sure if the French have what Americans consider “soul food.” But if they did, Crémerie-Restaurant Polidor, in the 6th arrondissement on the Left Bank, would be the place to get it.
We’re fortune enough to have never been the victim of a pickpocket. But this was certainly a close call.
