Kimpton BEM Budapest (2024) honours Hungarian folklore while celebrating Budapest’s modern vitality, featuring elegantly appointed guest rooms, three innovative and distinct dining venues, alongside other bespoke experiences. Designed by Marcel Wanders and part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio this hotel is considered the Hungarian capital’s newest hotspot. 
Transformed from a historic 19th-century mansion along the Danube to a sophisticated 127-room enclave, the 5-star superior hotel design is inspired by Budapest’s rich folklore & vibrant energy, and the Hungarian fairy tale ‘The Golden Stag and the Turul Bird’. Reception desks are shaped like upside-down eggs reflecting Marcel Wanders’ fondness for the shape, using it as a symbol of eternity. Enchanting patterns throughout the hotel pay homage to unique Hungarian mythological creatures and native flora, such as illustrations of poppies and tulips. Spaces feature a serene palette of ‘cool’ colours contrasted with striking architectural textures and elements, such as a central glass atrium housing a Golden Stag, concaved ceilings, and lush greenery. Each guest room unfolds a tale of personal luxury, adorned with strong characters and charming details. 
Marcel Wanders’ storytelling connected to nature, history, and folklore, ensuring a lifetime guest experience.
