Kimpton BEM Budapest – the new urban cool kid on the Budapest block
Nestled in the centre of Budapest’s culture scene, Kimpton BEM Budapest sits mere moments away from the renowned Castle District, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site characterised by Art Nouveau architecture and lined with the city’s most sought-after history museums and attractions. Budapest’s legendary Turkish baths, a testament to centuries of well-being and the art of leisure, are nearby and no trip to the city is complete without a soak in one of these historic marvels.

Designed by Marcel Wanders, the property was transformed from a historic 19th-century mansion to a striking and sophisticated 127-room enclave, providing guests with a front-row seat to the city’s vibrant lifestyle. A destination in and of itself, the hotel will provide exceptional epicurean experiences through inspired international cuisine infused with authentic Hungarian flavours. This includes an all-day lobby-level bar and restaurant, a signature chef-driven Mediterranean restaurant, and an exclusive, ‘secret’ rooftop oasis featuring a verdant sky-high garden where patrons can enjoy bespoke cocktails and bites.

“We are delighted to announce the opening of Kimpton BEM Budapest, a first-of-its-kind luxury lifestyle hotel for Hungary’s capital city,” said Attila AE Domby, General Manager. “We are excited to invite travellers to explore the cultural marvel that is Budapest through a new, local and design-led lens, and introduce them to the wonders and legends that await across this still yet-to-be-discovered European destination.”
The hotel additionally features a dedicated wellness area complete with a 24/7 fitness centre, hot tub and steam room. Event space highlights include a grand, expansive ballroom fit to host large gatherings, alongside three more intimate venues for smaller, private meetings. In true Kimpton form, guests will also enjoy Kimpton Social, a hosted evening social hour as well as complimentary morning coffee and tea service and exclusive amenities for families and pets.
