Montcalm

The West End


This 145-room hotel is set on a pretty crescent now named after Swede Raoul Wallenberg, who helped rescue Jews in Budapest during WWII (the Swedish Embassy is nearby). Service is friendly and professional, and the swish en suite rooms come with TV, iPod docks and a complimentary fruit bowl. The basement spa has a pool, Jacuzzi and steam room.
