Dutch designer Marcel Wanders has designed the new Kimpton BEM hotel in Budapest, Hungary. It is a boutique hotel that features 127 premium rooms and it celebrates the heritage of the capital. The hotel is grand and overlooks the Danube River. There are design references and symbols that are inspired by Hungarian folklore.
Marcel Wonders shares a nod to his practice, noting “Sometimes, when I think of design and interiors, and I trash the ignorant, the unthoughtful, the lazy and the tired use of white walls and under-inspired minimalism, I hallucinate and dream of a world, a design, a philosophy that truly builds on love, that builds on creativity, that builds on fantasy, and when I fail to explain my plan and try to express the urgency of my vision […] that divine is in the creation of new unseen, unexperienced, remarkable and inspiring relationships.”
