Equal parts bohemian and elegant, Brody House is an art-minded concept hotel with individually designed rooms and a boutique atmosphere.
Review
Founded in 2009 and housed in a 19th-century building, Brody House is a modern, and truly one-of-a-kind, boutique property in the center of Budapest. The 11-room hotel and members club promotes local and international art, and each room is individually appointed with the works of a different up-and-coming artist. The hotel also doubles as a gallery; every piece of art is for sale.
The rooms (all named for the designer whose pieces lie within) feature a hodgepodge design that is at once modern and traditional. Some of the rooms feature paint-chipped walls which, when coupled with vibrant contemporary art, are surprisingly elegant. Breakfast and lunch are served in the lobby, and guests of the hotel have access to all member events, which include recitals, wine tastings and creative workshops.
Brody House also owns and leases out a number of loft-style apartments throughout the city that are ideal for longer stays. The residences all have private roof gardens and abide by the art-centric Brody House aesthetic.
Who Should Stay
Design-savvy travelers who want a unique hotel experience and don’t mind minimal amenities. Anyone watching their budget will also appreciate the very affordable rates. The property also has a few interconnecting options and some rooms with fully equipped kitchens.
