With 167 rooms, Tribe Budapest Airport caters to business travelers and short-stay guests. It comprises a restaurant and lounge that can accommodate 140 guests, an outdoor terrace with a capacity for 60 guests, a rooftop skybar, a fitness center on the seventh floor, a 150-seat conference room, and two meeting spaces. It is set to become one of Hungary’s first BREEAM-certified hotels, blending style with sustainability, according to the hospitality brand.
“After a strong start in Budapest, weare excited to launch a second hotel in under two years, proving the brand is a game changer in the Hungarian and Eastern European markets,” said Pauline Oster, vice president of Tribe Europe andNorth Africa, at the opening.
The new hotel enhances the infrastructure at Ferenc Liszt International Airport, further strengthening Budapest’s role as a regional business and tourism hub. With this development, Wing joins an elite group of real estate developers that have delivered more than 1,000 hotel rooms in Hungary.
“Wing is dedicated to developing world-class, sustainable properties that enrich their environment and create long-term value for partners and communities through innovative, people-focused spaces,” said Wing’s chairman and CEO, Noah Steinberg, at the recent opening.
“A key milestone in this vision is the completion of the Tribe Budapest Airport Hotel; it is both our second Tribe hotel and our second project at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. The new hotel offers high-quality, convenient accommodation and meets a key need for additional capacity at Budapest Airport, reinforcing both Wing’s role in the hospitality sector and the airport’s importance in national tourism,” Steinberg added.
Tribe currently operates over 20 hotels and has more than 30 projects in development. “This opening marks a milestone that my team has been eagerly working toward for many months. Tribe Budapest Airport is not just another hotel; it’s a bold new concept designed for modern travelers who appreciate great design, premium comfort, and authentic experiences: our rooftop skybar and restaurant are open to everyone,” said Csaba Palotai, general manager of Tribe Budapest Airport.
Both Tribe and Ibis Styles are sub-brands of the French hospitality multinational Accor. In addition to the two airport hotels, Wing has previously cooperated with the group in the dual-branded Ibis and Tribe Budapest Stadium, part of the developer’s Liberty mixed-use project.
Wing will operate the new airport hotel under a management agreement with Accor. The architectural design of both the Ibis Styles and the Tribe at Budapest Airport was based on original sketches by the late László Szerdahelyi, the lead architect of Aspectus Architect, who died in 2020. The firm is a subsidiary of Wing. The structural construction was carried out by Swietelsky Magyarország, with final construction and fit-out works managed by Bernecker, with the room interiors undertaken by Este’r Partners.
Hungary is attracting rising numbers of visitors: Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport recorded its highest annual passenger traffic to date in 2024 at 17.6 million.
Wing Industrial, the industrial and logistics arm of the developer, has delivered B2, the fourth 9,000 sqm hall at the East Gate PRO Business Park in Fót (18 km northeast of central Budapest by road). The tenant of the BREEAM “Very Good” accredited facility is the Hungarian subsidiary of Packeta, a parcel logistics group active in CEE.
The letting was concluded on a built-to-suit basis, with construction undertaken by Weinberg 93 Építő and financing provided by UniCredit Bank. Wing Industrial says it worked closely with the tenant throughout the development to ensure that the building, which will serve as the base of the Packeta Group’s Hungarian operations, meets its requirements.
That tailoring includes larger-than-usual offices, more extensive handling facilities and parking areas, as well as docking and drive-in gates for cross-docking and a heat pump system for heating and cooling.
“For us, it is key to have a warehouse and office base that not only serves our current operations to a high standard but also supports our growth in the long term. In collaboration with Wing Industrial, we created a logistics center that is entirely tailored to our needs. This flexibility and professional approach represent great values in the market,” said Zoltán Radeczky, acting managing director of Packeta Group’s Hungarian subsidiary.
East Gate PRO Business Park is located at the intersection of the M0 and M3 motorways. The project has the capacity for the development of six facilities with around 60,000 sqm of leasable space.
“A significant part of Wing Industrial’s portfolio consists of warehouse logistics and manufacturing/assembly hall solutions tailored to fit the specific needs of our tenants,” comments Zsófia Korda, chief sales officer of Wing.
“From the earliest stages of design and construction, we give a special focus to ensuring that our facilities fully meet the requirements of our partners. Built-to-suit arrangements allow us to work closely with our tenants to implement tailored solutions that not only meet their current operational needs but also facilitate future growth,” she says.
“This development will not only enhance Wing Industrial’s portfolio but also contribute to the further improvement of the industrial and logistics infrastructure of the North Pest region,” Korda adds.
