We have already mentioned Brody House on our list of  “Top 5 Most Beautiful Boutique Hotels in Budapest” this week, but we love the design concept and interiors of this magnificent and stylish hotel so much we felt like telling you a little bit more about it.

*Written by: Rita Rodrigues

Brody House operates as a quirky boutique hotel with 11 unique and individually designed bedrooms within a neo-classical heritage building in Budapest’s palace quarter. The building survived the ravages of the Second World War, the Hungarian uprising of 1956 (that started at the Hungarian radio station a few doors down Brody Sandor street) and the fifty years of neglect and poor maintenance that followed.

Prior to its conversion into a boutique hôtel in 2009, founders William Clothier and Peter Grundberg resided in the property, along with their artist friends, hosting cultural salons and dinner parties. They named the house after Hungarian writer, Sandor Brody, and ‘his’ street at which the house is sited.

Brody House remains a work in progress, undergoing various loving restorations since its inception. Each room in this hotel is unique and named after an eponymous Brody House artist who either used to have a studio at Brody House or have since collaborated with the Brody House Group.

The rooms were often their former studios and feature vintage up-cycled furniture, paint stripped walls and contemporary art. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, some even have a free-standing bath in the room for those wo would like to enjoy some special, decadent champagne moments.
