Given the building’s significant role in Hungary’s history, this listed historic mansion embraces the city’s legendary past. This unique characteristic also serves as a hallmark of Marcel Wanders, the master of luxurious interior design, well-known for his distinctive style characterized by the perfect blend of innovation and historical tradition. Wanders drew inspiration from the Hungarian fairy-tale ‘The Golden Stag and the Turul Bird’, with these mythical characters playing a central role in the building’s design: the Turul, protector of the Magyars, and the Stag, symbolizing the origins of life. From the lobby enriched with Hungarian folk design to the mystical corridors and the elevators honoring Hungary’s esteemed writers, Kimpton BEM embodies many symbolic elements of local culture, offering a hideaway that transcends mere accommodation. By blending traditional elements with modern design, Wanders ensures each guest’s experience is rich in cultural resonance and historical depth.
