EarthCheck Policy & Beyond

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest is committed to continual improvement. To help generate fresh ideas for new sustainability initiatives, a dedicated Green Team has been established, coordinated by Mr. István Schmél.

In addition to legal requirements, we are devoted to fulfilling the expectations of our guests and business partners, ensuring compliance and care in every aspect.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest is committed to the purchase of local products and services. More than 80% of our business partners and suppliers are domestic, with an emphasis on regional goods, local collaborations, and minimising environmental impact. In support of a more ethical and sustainable global economy, the hotel also embraces the principles of fair trade.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest is a city hotel occupying 4,250 sq m of urban land at Erzsébet tér 7, 1051 Budapest. The property is bordered by Erzsébet Square, Miatyánk Street, Bécsi Street and Deák Ferenc Street.

Kempinski Corvinus offers 350 elegant rooms and suites, complemented by acclaimed gastronomic outlets like ÉS Bisztró, ÉS Deli, The Living Room, Blue Fox The Bar and Nobu Restaurant. Guests also enjoy 10 meeting rooms, Kempinski The Spa and additional services such as car rental and car wash. The nearest water body is the iconic Danube River, which is 385 m from the property. 
Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest considers environmental awareness and implementing engagement at an operational level a priority among its initiatives. Essential components are the reduction of water consumption and the conscious use of energy sources.

The building management system optimises the use of air conditioning, heating and lighting based on actual usage patterns, with automated shutdown of technical equipment. Every room in the hotel is equipped with a controller for the water tap to regulate consumption. The replacement of the lighting with LEDs has also been completed. Continuous improvement is taking place by constantly replacing outdated equipment with more energy-efficient alternatives.

The hotel is equally proactive in waste management. We practice strict waste separation, including baled paper, plastic bottles, communal waste, glass, food scraps, used oil and dry-cleaning materials—all collected on a regular basis.

The hotel invests in its people, offering employment opportunities for talented trainees and providing a training programme called ‘LobsterInk’ for the staff. Our team frequently visits universities to lecture and collaborate on special hospitality projects, encouraging the next generation of hoteliers.

Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest also maintains an extensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. We actively support charities and foundations in the local community, provide financial aid and run activities to make local lives better.
