The overhaul in 2016-17 of the events management and facilities concept resulted in various flexible meeting spaces that deliver tailor-made solutions for any-size and any-purpose events. In function, they represent the most cutting-edge technology in Budapest, while in design, they are luxurious and have a human and sensory quality, commensurate with the Kempinski brand.
The Grand Room (Rooms One, Two, Three) features imposing and elegant grandeur and reserved glamour. Room Four combines an area for informal meetings, where seating is relaxed, with a formal meeting table arrangement. Room Five is a spacious, bright and upscale executive room, ideal for meetings that require privacy. Room Six features bold and extraordinary furnishings. Infinity Room (Room Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten) is reconfigured to maximize capacity and flexibility.
Other spaces offer auxiliary functions. The Kitchen in the foyer has a fully operational stove and countertop and tastefully decorated dining and lounge area. The corridor leading to the Grand Room is furnished to accommodate break-out areas. The Business Centre provides immediate secretarial services, as well as the conference organizers’ operational office. The pre-function area allows for multiple functions, such as coffee breaks, catering, brainstorming and receptions.

The owners of Kempinski Corvinus have amassed one of the most sizeable and definitive corporate collections of contemporary Hungarian art since the opening of the hotel. Some of the Corvinus Collection graces the suites and public spaces, while some is on tour, co-organised with Kogart, the most renowned private collector and museum, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Collection. The Kempinski Gallery shows temporary exhibitions of contemporary art all year round, and is open round the clock in the Lobby.
