The company, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, opens Kimpton BEM Budapest, heralded as ‘the city’s newest hotspot in Buda.’
Transformed from a historic 19th-century mansion to a sophisticated 127-room enclave, this boutique hotel welcomes guests with a front-row seat to Budapest’s celebrated historic and cultural landscape.
Kimpton BEM Budapest is nestled along the banks of the Danube River on the city’s picturesque Buda side near the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Castle District. Guests will enjoy unrivalled proximity to Budapest’s most sought-after attractions, including the Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church, Chain Bridge and more, alongside a lively culinary scene. Renowned for their therapeutic benefits dating back to the 16th century, Budapest’s legendary Turkish baths sit nearby and serve as a tribute to the city’s art of leisure and commitment to wellness.
Kimpton BEM Budapest bears the signature of renowned Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, known internationally for his unconventional and imaginative design philosophy. The hotel’s design borrows from Budapest’s rich folklore and vibrant energy, melding whimsical accents with historical elements. Reception desks are shaped as upside-down eggs reflecting Wanders’ fondness of the shape, complemented by decorative books, collectibles and treasures from around the globe intended to exude a welcoming atmosphere.
