Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
For a city full of surprises, take a trek to Budapest. With different districts making up Budapest and lots of sights to see, it may be confusing where to stay. Our choice is Kempinski for its perfect location, foodie mentality, art-filled walls and creature comforts. It’s formally known as Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest named after King Corvinus. Kempinski Hotels are Europe’s oldest luxury hotel groups founded in 1897 and today has 80 hotels in 34 countries. Kempinski Budapest just turned thirty last year and has undergone some fresh facelifts. In total there are 315 rooms and 38 suites, all bright, light-filled accommodations designed in a soft color palette, with some overlooking Erzsebet Park and the iconic ferris wheel going round and round. The hotel has a 21st-century cosmopolitan ambiance with an awe-inspiring lobby with its soaring 9-meter-high glazed ceiling and two polished plaster columns made to glimmer in the daylight and light up at night making for a great first impression.
The hotel breathes art and gastronomy. Here visitors find an art-filled hotel of Hungarian contemporary art with a collection of more than 1000 pieces and the Kempinski Art Gallery on the Promenade. Kempinski proudly boasts the first and only Central European Nobu, serving Japanese as well as some Hungarian inspired dishes. ES Bistro is a Hungarian Viennese bistro and steakhouse with a great selection of Hungarian wines and craft beers. Tapelspitz is one of the brunch specialties, a classic local dish. An outdoor patio right on Fashion Street is open during the summertime and festive December season serving food and drink to both locals and hotel guests. The Living Room right off the lobby welcomes guests in the spirit of a Hungarian coffeehouse culture reimagined for the 21st century. On Sunday afternoons, some of the most talented music students from the world-renowned Franz Liszt Music Academy delightfully fill the air with a mini music concert.
