Smaller spaces include the Turul Chamber beside Bar HUSO, the MW Salon and the Golden Stag Corner on the mezzanine, and the LED Hall with its built-in LED wall. Menus are written by the hotel's own chefs. AGOS serves modern-Mediterranean cooking from an open kitchen with Josper grills, and feNNen Skybar on the fifth floor gives a rooftop terrace with a glass pavilion for drinks. Guests can also use the wellness area, with a hot tub, steam room and sauna, and the 24-hour gym. The hotel is pet friendly and has a secured underground car park.

The hotel itself is stunning

The Kimpton BEM is a true gem! It is easily one of the best Kimpton's we have ever stayed at. The rooms are quiet and very spacious. The hotel itself is stunning with its Hungarian forest and water theming. Everyone is so friendly and the concierge Miklos went over and beyond by highlighting the outstanding local wine collection at the hotel and even went so far as to give us a wonderful tasting. These were some of the best wines of our vacation. The restaurant, AGOS, was outstanding and the hotel's daily breakfast was delicious. This is a must stay if you are planning a trip to Budapest!
