Corporate Social Responsibility

As a leading hotel in the city, Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has maintained an active role in the local community since its opening. Our commitment takes many forms, from reaching out to support those in need and helping our partners promote their causes to initiating and nurturing projects that enrich our community.

 

ART

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest and art have always been closely associated. The building itself, with its bold, striking modernity, is a sophisticated work of architectural art. Conceived by an international team of designers, its interior spaces and facilities also offer inspiration and aesthetic pleasure. The now extensive Corvinus Art Collection adorns the hotel’s public spaces, suites and rooms. The hotel’s patronage of the arts is unique in Hungary.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has a strong track record of supporting local artists and emerging talent. The Living Room is delighted to host some of the most talented students from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, offering them a stage through Concertini, held every Saturday at 17:00. These performances give the students an opportunity to showcase their skills to an intimate audience of discerning coffeehouse guests.
 

COMMUNITY & CHARITY 

Since its opening, Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has supported charitable causes that benefit the local community. Through financial assistance and active participation in outreach projects, the entire Kempinski Corvinus community has played a personal role in improving local lives, dedicating not only financial resources but also time, effort and care.

The hotel supports its employees by providing long-term employment opportunities for trainees and course graduates through Lobster, a dedicated programme developed specifically for Kempinski Hotels.

To inspire the next generation of hospitality professionals, team members regularly visit universities to deliver lectures, share industry insights and encourage students to pursue their passion for hospitality. The hotel also regularly welcomes vocational school and university students for behind-the-scenes visits and property tours, providing them with practical insights into hotel operations.

Employees benefit from discounts at private healthcare providers and sports clubs, supporting their wellbeing both inside and outside the workplace.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest is committed to making a positive impact on the local community by supporting charitable organisations, donating funds and organising activities that improve local lives. The hotel actively participates in charitable programmes supporting Breznó Street Children’s Home, Bátor Tábor, Világszép Foundation, Hungarian Baptist Aid and the Maltese Charity, among others. It also donates furniture and clothing to various charitable organisations.

As a founding member of HotelHero, a charitable initiative launched in summer 2020, the hotel continues to raise awareness of the importance of social responsibility within the tourism and hospitality sector. HotelHero highlights the charitable efforts of businesses and individuals, particularly those undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of one initiative, the hotel donated raised garden beds, complete with soil, seedlings and seeds, to the children’s home it supports. The project teaches children how to grow tomatoes, peppers, peas and herbs for use in their own kitchen.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has been awarded the title of Reliable Employer 2024/26 by the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The recognition honours companies that provide exemplary and reliable working and living conditions for their employees.

Since 2023, the hotel has actively supported the Pink October Breast Cancer Awareness initiative every October through community engagement, educational events and visual tributes. Activities include sports events, such as charity runs, and expert-led round-table discussions highlighting the importance of early detection. Throughout the month, the hotel’s façade is illuminated in pink, while the lobby features themed floral arrangements in vibrant shades of pink.
