You've gotta love a place with a life-sized dummy, in period costume, playing a banjo next to the reception desk. The Cotton House, a place that certainly doesn't take itself too seriously (cue that banjo!) takes its design and accommodation cues from 1920s and 1930s America. The results are fascinating, fun, and unexpected. Our verdict: Cotton House is without question worth the price of admission.
Though each of 22 rooms are named after different Hollywood stars, furnishings in each are standard Prohibition-era. Satin sheets, heavy drapes, and elegant wooden chairs are upholstered in rich reds and Sweet Georgia browns. And oh yes, old-fashioned rotary telephones operate under fringed lampshades.
With live music in a cellar restaurant (resembling a speakeasy, natch), a cigar lounge with humidors for rent, and double rooms with Jacuzzis, the Cotton House has some striking amenities on offer. And while it's not a budget find if you opt for extras like the on-site aqua fitness center membership, it is a bargain. Guests get much more for their money than hotels in this price category tend to offer in Budapest.
Be sure to book early, because rooms in the Cotton House (aka Rick Steves' fave) go faster than ragtime swings.

About the Cotton House neighborhood
A Jewish neighborhood before and during World War II, Erzsébetváros is now a cornucopia of late 20th century architecture. Functional Communist era structures line narrow streets. The Great Synagogue, the second largest in the world, built in Byzantine-Moorish style, stands in gorgeous contrast to the surrounding area. Every day is business as usual; the local proletariat walk in and out of offices, Internet stations buzz, and restaurants serve local favorites. At day's end, the neighborhood redefines itself as a nightlife hub. The hip Liszt tér restaurant and café scene starts pulsing from the north, and in kert (courtyard) bars across the 'hood, bartenders get to work.
