A boutique retreat in the heart of the city, Verno
House Budapest, Vignette Collection will this summer mark the Hungarian debut
of IHG’s first collection brand, a fast-growing family of distinct hand-picked
hotels each offering one-of-a-kind stays in destinations to remember.
Vignette Collection properties are unique in their
identity, yet united by the vision to offer a more authentic way to travel.
Verno House Budapest, Vignette Collection presents an urban oasis overlooking
Liberty Square, evoking the idea, born in 19th century Budapest, that one
can only truly appreciate all the modern attributes of a city if there is a
nurturing natural environment to escape to from time to time. The hotel is
designed to be a sanctuary where guests can recharge before the next day’s
explorations.
General Manager Tamás Nehéz, from Verno House
Budapest, Vignette Collection, commented: “We are excited to see Verno
House open as IHG's first Vignette Collection hotel in Budapest. The team have
worked hard to ensure that the experience available to guests is true to our
heritage, offering a haven of tranquillity to those who wish to explore what
our capital has to offer. Now, part of Vignette Collection, Verno House is
looking forward to inviting our first guests and offering meaningful and
memorable stays in this one-of-a-kind hotel.”
Nestled between the Danube River and Liberty Square,
Verno House has historically been a favorite meeting ground among artists,
politicians, scientists and philanthropists of the late 19th century, a
role it continues to embrace to this day. Guests are invited to discover the
destination’s illustrious cultural hub, the city’s most sought-after
attractions mere moments away, with a relaxing retreat to retire on the corner
of Szabadság Street and October 6th Street.
There are several distinct characteristics which make
a hotel a true Vignette Collection property. One such hallmark is Memorable
Rituals, which celebrate each hotel’s unique identity. Verno’s Treat Bar –
staged in the lobby – evokes fond memories of childhood. From iconic treats
that have been enjoyed for generations to innovative creations paying homage to
Hungarian culinary heritage, guests are invited to sample a range of candies
and chocolates that showcase the traditional flavours of Hungary, offering a
taste of indulgence and a moment of respite from the city's rhythm.
As part of IHG’s ambitious Journey to Tomorrow plan to
drive positive change for people, planet and communities, each Vignette
Collection hotel has its own “A Means For Good” initiative. United by a shared
vision to support the communities in which they operate, each property partners
with a local non-profit organisation to spearhead a positive contribution to
local causes. Available to purchase within the mini bar, Verno House, Vignette
Collection partners with Kék Madár Alapítvány (Blue Bird Foundation) who aim to
promote workplace opportunities for those with disabilities through their
chocolate brand, BeSweet, created by employees with disabilities.
Verno House Budapest, Vignette Collection seeks to
offer a space for guests to bond, breathe and bloom, a notion reflected in its
design. Ethereal natural light, verdant greenery, bold pops of color, and a
signature cedarwood scent evoke a sense of vibrant serenity, whilst public
spaces follow a palette of warm hues and neutral shades, accented with abstract
furniture and sculptural lighting installations. Books and board games
encourage guests and locals alike to gather and embrace a sense of community.
Its 48 stylishly appointed guest rooms are equipped with locally created
BOTANIQ Collection amenities and striking urban views, with Deluxe, Premium and
Suite options available, with city or park views. The Corner Suites notably
boast floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Budapest’s characteristic Art
Nouveau architecture.
The hotel’s Michelin Guide-recommended Flava
Kitchen & More, with 106 covers, serves a menu of inventive North
African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern-inspired delicacies, alongside
beloved traditional dishes. Menu standouts include Chicken Lahmacun, a
traditional thin crispy flatbread topped with perfectly seasoned meat, and the
Hungarian-favorites Beef Cheek Stew with spätzle and mushrooms
and Goulash. To complement the chef-led gastronomic journey, an extensive
selection of Hungarian and international wines, champagnes, and cocktails are
also available. Taking inspiration from the world’s most popular culinary
destinations, Flava Kitchen & More combines fresh, seasonal ingredients
with masterful preparation techniques. A vibrant ambiance serves guests both
indoors and on its charming side-street terrace for al-fresco dining. A live DJ
enhances the Flava experience on weekends.
The dedicated BOTANIQ Collection Wellness Department at
Verno House Budapest, Vignette Collection transports guests to a tranquil
sanctuary, complete with a Turkish steam bath, Finnish sauna, whirlpool bath,
and fitness centre. Guests may also select from a full menu of indulgent
massage and facial treatments, featuring all-natural products and ingredients.
Verno House Budapest, Vignette Collection is within
reach of the city’s iconic attractions and landmarks, including the Hungarian
State Opera House, St. Stephen’s Basilica, and Dohany Street Synagogue,
recognized as Europe’s largest synagogue.
Verno House Budapest follows fellow European Vignette
Collection openings including the first in the UK, The Halyard Liverpool,
together with Convent Square Lisbon and Casa da Companhia in Porto,
all of which opened in the past year. Further afield, others in the family
include Yours Truly DC in the
US, Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort and Hotel X Brisbane Fortitude Valley.
There are now 18 open hotels with a further 20 in the pipeline.

with rooms starting at €219 per night for members of IHG One Rewards. For more
