Corporate Social Responsibility

As a leading hotel in the city, Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has, since its opening, maintained an active role in the local community. Our engagement has manifested itself in various ways, such as reaching out and helping those in need, assisting our partners in promoting their causes and starting and nurturing initiatives that enrich our community.

ART

The Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest and art have always been closely associated: the stern and bold modernity of the building itself represents a sophisticated work of architectural art. Conceived by a team of international designers, its interior spaces and facilities also provide inspiration and aesthetic pleasure. The now sizeable Corvinus Art Collection adorns the public spaces, suites and rooms, while the Promenade Gallery hosts three new exhibits every year, bringing world-class Hungarian artists to the Hotel’s guests and the art-loving local audiences. The Hotel’s art patronage is unique in Hungary.

Kempinski Corvinus has a solid track record of supporting local art and talents. The Living Room is delighted to host some of the most talented students of Franz Liszt Music Academy and offer them a stage "Concertini" every Saturday, at 5:00 pm, where they can show their skill to a small audience, to our discerning coffeehouse fans.
 

COMMUNITY & CHARITY 

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has, since its opening, supported charitable causes for the benefit of the local community. By providing financial aid and offering active engagement in outreach projects, the entire Kempinski Corvinus community has been personally involved in making local lives better by dedicating not just financial resources but time, labour and love.

The hotel supports its staff by providing long-term employment opportunities for trainees and course graduates through a dedicated programme called ‘Lobster’, specially developed for Kempinski Hotels.

To inspire the next generation of hospitality professionals, team members regularly visit universities to deliver lectures, sharing industry insights and encouraging students to pursue their passion in the hospitality field.

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

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest is committed to making a positive impact in the local community by supporting charities, donating funds, and organising activities to enhance local lives. The hotel actively engages in charitable programmes such as Breznó Street Children’s Home, Bátor Tábor, Világszép Foundation, Hungarian Baptist Aid and the Maltese Charity, among others. It also contributes furniture and clothing to a range of charitable organisations. As a founding member of HotelHero, a charity initiative launched in Summer 2020, the hotel continues to raise awareness of the importance of social responsibility in the tourism and hospitality sector. HotelHero highlights the charitable efforts of businesses and individuals, particularly those undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In one of its initiatives, the hotel donated raised garden beds—including soil, seedlings, and seeds—to the children’s home it supports. This project teaches children how to grow tomatoes, peppers, peas, and herbs for their own kitchen use.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest has been awarded the title ‘Reliable Employer 2024/26’ by the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, recognising companies that provide exemplary and dependable working and living conditions for their employees.
