◆ May 2026 · Budapest · New Marriott Openings
Marriott International signs two simultaneous openings in Budapest · the St. Regis Budapest in the Belle Époque Klotild Palace, and the Moxy Budapest Downtown on Kazinczy Street. Two worlds, one Central European capital in full effervescence.
Marriott International continues to expand its footprint across Central Europe, and particularly in Budapest, a dynamic capital where history and modernity coexist with elegance. The American hotel group recently made headlines by simultaneously inaugurating two landmark addresses, each embodying a distinct facet of hospitality. On one hand, the timeless majesty of the St. Regis Budapest, nestled within an iconic Belle Époque palace. On the other, the contemporary energy of the Moxy Budapest Downtown, which boldly reimagines a former dance institution in the heart of Pest. Two strategic openings that illustrate the breadth of Marriott’s offering: the refined classicism of one, the more modern and relaxed experience of the other.
These new addresses are part of a broader momentum. Since 2021, Marriott has already overseen the transformation of the Matild Palace (Luxury Collection) and the Drechsler Palace (W Budapest) in 2023. With the St. Regis and the Moxy, the group adds two major pieces to its Budapest portfolio, demonstrating particular expertise in the rehabilitation of historic buildings and the art of addressing multiple guest profiles simultaneously.

One of Marriott’s most anticipated Budapest openings takes place within the iconic Klotild Palace, a Belle Époque monument erected at the start of the 20th century at the request of Archduchess Clotilde of Austria, a blend of neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After an earlier life as a hotel in the 2010s and a closure in 2019, the palace is reborn under the St. Regis banner with 63 rooms and 39 suites, each conceived as a private theatre box. The interiors, designed in a narrative style inspired by the Danube and its reflections, blend Secession and Art Nouveau accents, elevated by the brand’s signature butler service.

★★★★ Lifestyle · Kazinczy Street · Moxy by Marriott
Moxy Budapest Downtown
Free spirit in the heart of the Jewish Quarter of Pest
◆ Average rates (standard room)
- Low season
- from €110 per night (Nov.–Mar., excl. holidays)
- High season
- around €180 per night (Apr.–Oct.)
- Summer peak
- €250–€280 per night (July–August, Sziget Festival, Grand Prix)

At the opposite end of the Marriott spectrum, the Moxy Budapest Downtown has taken up residence on the vibrant Kazinczy Street, at the heart of the Jewish quarter Erzsébetváros · the epicentre of Pest’s nightlife and cultural scene. The building, once a renowned dance institution, was reimagined by the Austrian firm BWM (Vienna), which wove in subtle references to ballet and movement, as well as the free-spirited nonconformism of Empress Sisi. The bold interiors blend raw industrial textures and theatrical lighting, creating a dynamic and playful atmosphere. A contemporary fresco by Hungarian artist Áron Hidvégi adorns the lobby, becoming a focal artistic point. With 281 rooms and a Saddle & Sky rooftop bar, the Moxy positions itself as a base for the young, creative and connected traveller.

Why this address: the Moxy combines what few Budapest hotels offer · a location a short walk from the iconic bars of Kazinczy Street, a rooftop with views, BREEAM Excellent environmental certification (rare in the city) and a theatrical design by BWM Vienna. The price-to-experience ratio is one of the sharpest in Pest.

Marriott and the art of historic reinvention in Budapest
The simultaneous openings of the St. Regis and the Moxy are not Marriott’s first incursion into the rehabilitation of historic buildings in Budapest. The group demonstrates particular expertise in breathing new life into iconic edifices. In 2023, Marriott had already transformed the Drechsler Palace, the former National Institute of Ballet, into a trendsetting hotel under the W brand, offering breathtaking views over Andrássy Avenue (often compared to the Hungarian Champs-Élysées). Since 2021, the Luxury Collection brand had also overseen the metamorphosis of the Matild Palace · one of the two twin palaces facing Elizabeth Bridge.
The Klotild Palace, twin to the Matild, thus fits into this line of architectural resurrections. Marriott demonstrates its commitment to preserving and elevating Budapest’s heritage while adapting it to the demands of contemporary hospitality. This narrative thread between past and present is a constant in the group’s strategy for its Budapest properties: to create places that tell a story while delivering world-class service and infrastructure.
How to choose between the St. Regis and the Moxy in Budapest
The choice depends on the experience you seek. For a historic luxury stay with personalised service, the St. Regis Budapest is without equal in the capital: a UNESCO-listed palace, 24/7 butler service, a high-calibre sushi table and a presidential suite with a balcony overlooking the Danube. It is the address for landmark occasions (wedding, milestone anniversary, honeymoon), as well as for business travellers who value the central location and diplomatic standing. For a lifestyle break in Pest, the Moxy Budapest Downtown ticks all the boxes: a location in the heart of the Jewish quarter, a rooftop bar for late evenings, bold design and environmental certification that is rare for the region. The price-to-originality ratio remains one of the best in the city, ideal for a long weekend with friends or a cultural city break. Both addresses share a common trait: they affirm Marriott’s ambition for Budapest, a capital in full effervescence where the group now counts four signatures (Matild Palace, W, St. Regis, Moxy) covering the full spectrum of luxury and lifestyle hospitality.
