The Presidential Suite on the ninth floor of Budapest’s Kempinski Hotel Corvinus is more than just a premium hotel room—it’s a world of its own. Every detail has been meticulously thought out, blending understated elegance with modern functionality. Renowned British designer Pablo Stutz led the interior redesign.
The first impression is already striking: guests enter a spacious, circular foyer that branches off in three directions, leading to distinct areas of the suite. This layout clearly separates private and communal zones, allowing staff to move unobtrusively without disturbing guests who are working or relaxing.
With luxurious materials in the foyer, a built-in sculpture by Péter Jecza (Meditation) in the living space, and sophisticated lighting solutions, the suite presents a visual identity that is both refined and unique.
Spacious design and functional layout in the Kempinski presidential suite
The living room features comfortable, modern furnishings and a curved seating area ideal for socialising or deep conversation. Adjacent to it is a study, framed by an elegant partition and shelves filled with books and decorative items—perfect for work or quiet reflection.

The dining area is versatile, suitable for everything from breakfast and dinner to private meetings. An adjoining service kitchen enhances the suite’s hospitality capabilities. A convenient guest bathroom in the corner of the living room ensures visitors need not enter the suite’s private quarters.
Discreet elegance in the private quarters
The suite includes two bedrooms. The master bedroom can be accessed via the living room or through a walk-in closet. Guests are welcomed by a seating area and desk; a decorative partition conceals the sleeping area, which can function as a separate room if desired.
The en-suite bathroom is bright, stylish, and comfortable, featuring two-tone marble, elegant lighting, and natural light. The second bedroom and bathroom meet the same high standards.

Harmony of materials, lighting, and form
Stone flooring in the foyer radiates sleek elegance, while hardwood floors cover the rest of the suite. Furniture and finishes are carefully matched, with polished surfaces and artisan-inspired décor reflecting local traditions. Smart lighting is recessed into ceiling coves and wall panels, creating a subtle “theatrical effect” and enhancing the sense of space. The colour palette is restrained and sophisticated, with accent colours thoughtfully placed throughout. The walls are adorned with artworks by Hungarian artists, paying tribute to Budapest’s cultural heritage.
Stunning views, prestigious awards, and exclusive services
The windows of the Presidential Suite at the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus offer views of Erzsébet Square and downtown Pest, with a classic panorama of Budapest that is always impressive.
A night in the suite costs nearly 3 million forints (approximately €7,500), including breakfast and taxes. Guests can opt for additional exclusive services at extra cost, though the standard VIP package is generous—fresh fruit, chocolate, champagne, and in-room breakfast are all included.
Among the suite’s notable guests was Michael Jackson, who stayed here three times. It’s also a favourite among politicians, artists, and business leaders, and can be rented for corporate events, once even serving as the venue for a lingerie brand’s partner showcase.
The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Presidential Suite has earned numerous prestigious awards, including the World Travel Awards. Most recently, in 2023, it was named Hungary’s Leading Hotel Suite.
