Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
History & Story
Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest’s own ever-evolving wealth of diversions within reflects the diversity without. Complete with a new lifestyle and gourmet hub, the hotel has undergone a dramatic reconstruction of the multi-use Lobby, which was followed by a refurbishment and refresh of the suites and rooms, finished in spring 2020.
At Gastronomic Quarter Downtown Budapest, the first Central European Nobu restaurant serves new-style Japanese cuisine. ÉS Bisztró is a contemporary brasserie for updated Hungarian-Viennese specialities. The Living Room is inspired by the local ‘Kaffeehaus’ culture of old. Blue Fox The Bar mixes classic and creative cocktails.
To recharge and rejuvenate, Kempinski The Spa offers exclusive beauty and massage treatments, fitness facilities and a recently refurbished sauna universe of American Tulipwood Finnish and bio saunas, with a steam bath and a Kneipp foot soak.
One of a kind in town, Kempinski Corvinus owns a corporate collection of Hungarian contemporary art. Some of the works adorn the rooms and suites, while others are available to view in the public areas. Open round the clock, the Gallery on The Promenade shows curated modern Hungarian art.
Further facilities: Nobu dishes available to order 24 hours through in-room dining; underground car park for 230 vehicles; electric vehicle charging station; gift and flower shop; Clef’s d’Or concierge desk; Lady in Red customer service.
