Our Partner Hotels
Both Vienna and Budapest offer a host of opportunities for comfortable accommodation at various price points. Both cities attract a large number of tourists and thereby have plenty of hotels and a well-developed and reliable apartment sharing market.
One good option for CEU Executive MBA participants is to use an offer of our partner hotels and accommodations. We have assembled a diverse offering from luxurious, iconic five-star hotels through popular business brands to economy accommodations for cost-conscious participants. All options have been selected to ensure a smooth commute to your classes:
Vienna Partner Hotels
| Name | Category | Description |
| Sacher | Premium | A classic luxurious ***** hotel opened in 1876 and hosted leaders such as Queen Elizabeth II. Located in Vienna’s historical center, but very conveniently connected with CEU’s campus through a 6-minute ride on the metro. |
| Meridien | Premium | A modern ***** hotel popular with business travelers and connected with CEU’s campus through a 6-minute metro ride. |
| Beethoven | Mid-Range | Boutique **** in the same central area of Vienna as Sacher and Meridien, and again with the same commute time by metro. |
| Novotel | Mid-Range | The most predictable chain **** in our offer is a typical newly built Novotel. On the other side of the main train station than the CEU campus, which makes the walk to school approximately 25 minutes, but located next to a tram stop that takes 13 minutes to get you to campus. |
| Schani | Mid-Range | The closest **** to CEU’s Vienna campus, only 15 minutes walking, also close to Hauptbahnhof. Clean, modern and simple. |
| Zeitgeist | Mid-Range | Slightly more upscale than Schani, with a 17-minute walk to campus. |
| Azimut | Economy | A simple hotel (officially****) in the Haupbanhof area, 20 minutes from CEU. |
| Motel One | Economy | A *** hotel next to Haupbanhof, 20 minutes away from CEU. |
Budapest Hotels
| Name | Category | Description |
| Four Seasons | Premium | An architectural landmark of Budapest and a notable art nouveau building of the region, located 3 minutes walking from CEU campus. Ultimate ***** luxury. |
| Marriott | Premium | Another popular ***** business destination, located on the bank of Danube. 10-minute walk from the CEU campus. |
| K+K Opera | Premium | The **** K+K Hotel Opera is situated directly in the heart of Budapest, next to the Hungarian State Opera along the historic Andrassy Avenue, 10 minutes walk from campus. |
| 12 Revay | Mid-range | The 12 Revay Hotel is a very new, tempting, centrally located *** option, as it is only 8 minutes walk away from the Budapest Campus, and many of the main downtown attractions. |
| Wallenberg House | Mid-range | The CEU guesthouse located in the picturesque Castle Hill district offers 27 fully furnished apartments of various sizes. Located a 20-minute walk across Budapest’s most iconic Chain Bridge to the CEU campus. |
| Ibis Styles Heroes Square | Economy | A very reliable Accor *** hotel located just an 8-minute ride by the historic M1 metro line from the city center and the CEU campus. |
| CEU Residence | Economy | A very clean and simple CEU Budapest dormitory featuring a sports center with a swimming pool, a tennis court, cafeteria and a pub. The clear disadvantage is a relatively long commute to CEU campus, about 25 minutes by taxi and 45 minutes by metro; it’s located in a calm and perfectly safe residential area. |
