Set within a restored 19th-century mansion on the Buda side of the Danube, the 127-room property – including 8 suites – has been designed by Dutch visionary Marcel Wanders (one of just ten fortunate hotels he’s designed in the last two decades of his career).
The hotel’s interiors draw inspiration from Hungarian folklore and yet are contemporary in design, with features ranging from upside down egg-shaped reception desks to a glass atrium showcasing a golden stag. Kimpton BEM Budapest offers views across the river to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and places guests within easy reach of the UNESCO-listed Castle District, Fisherman’s Bastion, and Budapest’s famed bathing culture. Three inventive dining concepts form part of the experience, underpinned by a strong sustainability ethos that incorporate energy efficient systems, waste reduction measures, and a commitment to local sourcing. Wellness is also central to the hotel, with a tranquil spa and treatments influenced by the city’s thermal history and heritage.
