The neighborhood to the south of Roosevelt tér has regained much of its past elegance -- if not its architectural grandeur -- with the erection of the Sofitel (formerly the Hyatt Regency), Inter-Continental, and Marriott luxury hotels. Traversing all three and continuing well beyond them is the riverside korzó, a pedestrian promenade lined with park benches and appealing outdoor cafés from which one can enjoy postcard-perfect views of Gellért Hill and Castle Hill directly across the Danube. Try to take a stroll in the evening, when the views are lit up in shimmering gold lights.
