The new property is located at Klauzál utca 8-10, in the heart of Budapest’s vibrant Erzsébetváros district. This milestone follows Numa’s success across Central Europe, with five properties in Prague and three in Vienna, and solidifies its highly anticipated arrival in the Hungarian capital.
Housed in a 19th-century building, the new Numa Budapest property will be fully renovated to blend its historic charm with contemporary design and Numa’s proprietary tech-stack.
Nestled in Erzsébetváros, one of Budapest’s most eclectic neighborhoods known for its iconic “ruin pubs,” quirky design shops, street art, and diverse dining options, this new property aligns with Numa’s mission to let guests experience cities like locals, the company tells the Budapest Business Journal.
Gyula Nagy, CEO of GTC, stated: “This project marks our first investment into hospitality real estate sector, which allows for further diversification of our property portfolio. Entering the hospitality sector will strengthen our portfolio with high-performing, resilient assets that respond to evolving market demands. Partnering with Numa allows us to combine our expertise in real estate development with their proven operational excellence and tech-driven approach.”
Dimitri Chandogin, president and co-founder of Numa Group, commented: “Budapest is a highlight for European tourism, attracting the lion’s share of Hungary’s international visitors and ranking among the continent’s most attractive destinations. Almost 60% of Hungary’s international tourist traffic passes through the city, which is already one of the top 15 European tourist destinations. Expanding into Budapest is a strategic milestone for Numa as we continue our rapid European growth. With this new location, we look forward to demonstrating how our digital-first approach can enhance the guest experience while preserving the unique character of this historic city.”
Ladislav Szabo, Numa’s country director for Hungary, added: “This property in Erzsébetváros perfectly embodies Numa’s philosophy of combining historic charm with modern hospitality. The vibrant neighborhood, rich in history and cultural appeal, offers the ideal setting for our guests to immerse themselves in Budapest like locals. We are thrilled to bring Numa’s innovative concept to Hungary and to offer travelers an unforgettable experience in this dynamic city.”
