TRIBE is set to expand its presence in Hungary and Eastern Europe with the launch of TRIBE Budapest Airport – the brand’s second property in the country. Developed by WING and open in mid-May 2025, the hotel will be located just steps from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport and directly connected to ibis Styles Budapest Airport. Bringing TRIBE’s bold, design-first spirit to Hungary’s largest travel hub, the new hotel will offer thoughtfully curated social spaces, fresh food and drink options, and smart essentials – all with that signature TRIBE energy.
Founded in Australia in 2017, TRIBE currently has over 20 hotels in operation and more than 30 projects in development. TRIBE hotels boast functional and stylish living spaces for guests to live, work, and play, providing all the essentials for a seamless and elevated stay. Key locations include city centres and major tourist destinations, such as Amsterdam, Perth, London, Paris, and Budapest.
With 167 smartly designed rooms, TRIBE Budapest Airport caters to business travellers, digital nomads, and short-stay guests seeking comfort, convenience, and a high-end feel at a fair price. Thoughtfully curated interiors feature a confident mix of sleek design, urban textures, and unexpected contrasts – the essence of TRIBE’s mix & match style.

A spacious restaurant and lounge will accommodate up to 140 guests, featuring an outdoor terrace for 60, making it the perfect spot to eat, meet, or unwind. Additionally, there’s a rooftop skybar with panoramic views, a fitness centre on the 7th floor, a 150-seat conference room, and two meeting spaces.

Pauline Oster, Vice President TRIBE Europe & North Africa, said: “Our TRIBE brand embodies precisely what the new generation of travellers seeks: exceptional, unique, and bold in design, providing guests with everything they need and nothing they don’t. After a strong start in Budapest, we’re excited to launch a second hotel in under two years, proving the brand is a game changer in the Hungarian and Eastern European markets. TRIBE Budapest Airport enhances our partnership with leading Hungarian real estate developer WING, showcasing the enormous interest of partners and guests in the brand.

Over the past 25 years, WING has become a key player in the modern real estate market of Hungary and the Central European region, developing iconic buildings that define Budapest’s cityscape. As a leading real estate company in Central Europe with a strong international presence, WING is committed to long-term value creation through high-quality, sustainable, and community-focused buildings. TRIBE Budapest Airport Hotel enhances the infrastructure of Liszt Ferenc International Airport and further strengthens Budapest’s role as a regional business and tourism hub. With this development, WING joins the leading real estate developers in Hungary that have delivered over 1,000 hotel rooms.
“WING is dedicated to developing world-class, sustainable properties that enrich their environment, create long-term value for partners and communities through innovative, people-focused spaces. A key milestone in this vision is the completion of the TRIBE Budapest Airport Hotel – it is both our second TRIBE-hotel and our second project at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The new hotel offers high-quality, convenient accommodation and meets a key need our additional capacity at Budapest Airport, reinforcing both WING’s role in the hospitality sector and the airport’s importance in national tourism,” said Noah Steinberg, CEO of WING.

“It is important for Budapest Airport that its passengers encounter high-quality services at the gateway to Hungary. We are therefore delighted that TRIBE is opening in the immediate vicinity of the airport, meaning that two elegant, high-quality hotels now welcome travelers,” said Francois Berisot, the CEO of Budapest Airport. He added: “In light of the dynamic growth in passenger traffic, we are confident that the modern and comfortable TRIBE, located just a few minutes’ walk from Terminal 2, will be very popular already after its opening.”
“This opening marks a milestone that me and my team have been eagerly working toward for many months. TRIBE Budapest Airport is not just another hotel – it’s a bold new concept designed for modern travelers who appreciate great design, premium comfort, and authentic experiences. We created a space that inspires, whether you’re here to stay, to meet, or simply to enjoy a drink with a view. Our rooftop skybar and restaurant are open to everyone, and we invite locals and travelers alike to come and see what TRIBE all is about.” said Csaba Palotai, General Manager of TRIBE Budapest Airport.
This is not the first cooperation between Accor and WING. In 2018, Hungary’s first – and so far, only – airport hotel with a connection to the terminal, ibis Styles Budapest Airport, was also opened in partnership with the two companies. TRIBE made its Hungary debut in 2023 with the dual-branded ibis & TRIBE Budapest Stadium at Liberty, WING’s mixed-use development.

WING will operate the new airport hotel under a management agreement with Accor. The architectural design of both the ibis Styles Budapest Airport Hotel and the newly built TRIBE Budapest Airport Hotel was carried out by Aspectus Architect, a subsidiary of WING. The design of the TRIBE building is based on the original sketches of lead architect László Szerdahelyi, whose vision and creativity continue to shape the project. The structural construction was carried out by Swietelsky Magyarország, with final construction and fit-out works managed by Bernecker. The interiors, designed for business and transit travellers in line with TRIBE’s contemporary concept, are being created by este’r partners.
