Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest
History & Story
Budapest: this monarchical city of Central European charm reveals a multicultural past in Europe, rich with Roman, Renaissance, Turkish, German and Austrian impressions, and Hungarian culture’s rare ability to fuse these interactions into its own unique identity.
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 dramatic reconstruction of the multi-use Lobby was followed by the refurbishment and refresh of the suites and premium rooms on five floors in April 2019.
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, 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.
