Stephan Interthal, the hotel’s general manager noted that this is the ninth consecutive time that Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has been included on the list.

“This award reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest level of service, even amidst changing economic conditions. Over the past nine years, the hotel has undergone a comprehensive transformation, with all 350 rooms and suites completely redesigned—a project set to conclude in April 2025. Our event floor, including the business center as well as Kempinski The Spa, has been fully renovated,” he explained.

“We are proud to accept this award on behalf of our 300 dedicated staff members, whose commitment and excellence are the foundation of our success,” Interthal added.
