The Kimpton brand, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts‘ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has debuted its first unit in the Hungarian market. The Kimpton BEM Budapest Hotel opened on the site of the former Radetzky Barracks on Bem Square in District 2. The boutique hotel has a total of 127 rooms and its interior design is the work of the world-renowned Dutch firm Marcel Wanders, writes Turizmus.com.
“The Kimpton BEM Budapest will be a hideaway for relaxed, hedonistic living and gastronomy,” stressed Sándor Scheer, CEO of Market Építő, at the opening.
The interior design concept is by the world-famous Marcel Wanders office, which has created unique interiors with its bold use of form, materials and color effects.
Throughout the hotel visitors can find typical Hungarian motifs such as poppies and tulips.
In addition to the loyal Kimpton guests, the hotel can also be a destination for design lovers.
