Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has expanded its European footprint with the debut of Kimpton BEM Budapest.

The 127-room property, situated in the heart of Budapest's Buda district, offers guests a blend of luxury, contemporary design and Hungarian culture.

Housed in a restored 19th-century mansion, the hotel has views of the Danube River and is close to iconic landmarks such as the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church.

Designed by Marcel Wanders, the property merges contemporary aesthetics with elements of Hungarian folklore.

Kimpton BEM Budapest features 127 guest rooms, including 11 suites.

The hotel's culinary offerings include AGOS, a signature restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine with a Hungarian twist, Fennen, a rooftop bar with panoramic city views, and Bar Huso, a lounge inspired by the Danube.

The hotel also provides a range of amenities for guests to relax and rejuvenate, including a 24/7 fitness centre, a hot tub and a steam room.

For events and gatherings, Kimpton BEM Budapest offers a selection of versatile spaces.

It also provides signature amenities such as evening social hours, complimentary yoga mats and a pet-friendly policy.

Atilla AE Domby, general manager of Kimpton BEM Budapest, in a statement, expressed enthusiasm about the hotel's opening:

“We are thrilled to be part of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants' first venture in Hungary’s capital. Kimpton BEM Budapest blends elegance and urban energy, just steps away from the stunning Danube River and Budapest’s top attractions. With its stylish yet playful vibe, Kimpton BEM Budapest offers a unique glimpse into the cultural crossroads of East and West.”

The property is expected to attract both leisure and business travellers seeking a sophisticated and memorable stay in Budapest.
