about brodyland
“A doorway to a higher mind and creative spirit.”
This unique hospitality concept in Budapest comprises accommodation, bars, social and cultural events spaces across three individually conceived venues. The Brody community aka ‘Brodyites’ who are citizens of Brodyland includes a wide range of creatives, Hollywood types, entrepreneurs and anyone trying to earn an honest crust in Budapest that is drawn to BrodyLand’s convivial and private environment.
our backstory
Brody House, BrodyLand's First venue was established in 2009 to promote & contribute to Budapest’s vibrant creative scene.
Today, BrodyLand spans three hospitality venues in Budapest with more in the pipeline.
We offer unique boutique accommodation, events and working space and each venue has its own distinct flavour. The first, our hotel called Brody House, was listed in The Sunday Times ‘100 Best Hotels’ and won Mr and Mrs Smith’s ‘Best Budget Boutique Hotel 2013’ (and was runner-up in 2014 and 2015.)
Accommodation guests are afforded 'I'm in bed with Brody' visa during their stay in Budapest to gain access and dip into the cultural and social life at Brody House. Our team organises social and cultural happenings for members and their guests - from the rowdy and raucous to the refined.

Local seasonal food combined with craft cocktails and Hungarian wines await. Private events for upto 300 people can be hosted over 3 floors, 4 bars, 2 private dining rooms, a games/screening room and atmospheric courtyard.
