IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, has recently unveiled its latest gem: Kimpton BEM Budapest. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Buda, this boutique hotel seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance.
Mansion To Boutique Hotel
Kimpton BEM Budapest is immersed in history. The hotel is tucked away beside the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Castle District. Located close to the attractive side of the city along the banks of the Danube River, it is a grand mansion from the 19th century. The place was meticulously restored but preserving its architectural integrity. Once a grand 19th-century palace, this boutique hotel, is now an elegant 127-room haven. You can get a prime view of Budapest’s renowned historical and cultural scene.
The façade of the building retains its historic charm, featuring intricate detailing and a stately presence that commands attention. Inside, the design narrative is a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary sophistication. Designed by well-known Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, the hotel’s design combines historical details with whimsical accents. Find reception desks shaped like upside-down eggs, decorative books, trinkets, and treasures from around the world to create a warm and inviting ambience.
Additionally, there is a pet-friendly policy at Kimpton BEM Budapest. Pets will be provided with food bowls, water bowls, mats, and a concierge list of pet-friendly local attractions in addition to loaner beds.

Moreover, three unique dining experiences complement the stay. This includes an all-day bar and restaurant at the lobby level, a chef-driven trademark restaurant, and a lush rooftop bar and sky-high garden. The flagship AGOS restaurant offers a cutting-edge, Mediterranean-inspired menu with a Hungarian twist. Tucked away above the cityscape lies the hidden jewel, the rooftop restaurant, Fennen. Bar Huso draws inspiration from the myth of Huso Huso, the beluga sturgeon, a mysterious Danube creature.
