Forestay Group and its strategic financial partner in this venture, Recorde Asset Management announce a signed agreement with Marriott International, Inc. to open a dual-branded hotel development in Budapest, featuring a Moxy Hotel and Residence Inn by Marriott under one roof. The development is scheduled to open in autumn 2026.
This marks the second Hungarian Moxy development by Forestay Group, further advancing the company’s strategy of pairing high-visibility locations with forward-thinking, sustainable hospitality concepts.
New hotel to open in the heart of Budapest
Scheduled to open in Autumn 2026, the project will be located at Váci utca 81, on the city’s most iconic downtown pedestrian shopping street. The development will offer a Moxy hotel with 217 guestrooms and 72 suites under the Residence Inn brand. The project aims to blend Moxy’s energetic, lifestyle-focused hospitality with Residence Inn’s extended-stay comfort and functionality – a combination tailored to today’s evolving traveler preferences.

“Váci utca is one of the most buzzing, high-energy destinations in Budapest, and we see incredible potential in bringing new use to this former office building through Marriott’s brands,” said Bálint Botos, Managing Partner, Forestay Group. “The dual-brand concept allows us to address multiple segments of the hospitality market in one project, with lively public spaces, flexible accommodation and a design-forward approach that reflects the architectural heritage of Budapest.”
Historic charm, prime location, tourism
The pedestrian street’s historic charm and prime location, steps away from major tourist sites, cultural landmarks and business hubs, make it an ideal setting for this hospitality development. The mix of short- and extended-stay offerings will serve both international visitors and long-term guests, while also create inviting spaces for locals through ground-floor retail and community-oriented features.
“We are delighted to once again collaborate with Forestay Group on these exciting new additions to Budapest’s thriving hospitality scene. Both Moxy and Residence Inn will welcome travelers to the Hungarian capital with signature experiences and services. We are thrilled to witness Budapest’s continued growth as one of the prime leisure and business destinations in Europe,” said Pankaj Birla, Regional Vice President, Eastern Europe, Marriott International.
