ten years of creating stories

Brody House remains an ever-evolving work in progress, undergoing various loving restorations since its inception in 2009. With a strong dedication to the Budapest art scene, the house is filled with a wide range of sculptures, paintings, photographs and various objets d'art. Each bedroom features work by the eponymous artist who either used to have a studio at or collaborated with Brody House in the past. Many engaging people including actors, film professionals, artists, journalists, writers, designers, aesthetes and itinerant travellers have lodged at Brody House for whom the most common trait seems to be curiosity and bonhomie.

You are warmly welcome to Brody House.

Built to the designs of architect Ernő Schannen in 1896 for Dr. Vilmos Tauffer, who used it as his city residence, office and practice in the heart of what was the glamorous and exclusive ‘Palace Quarter‘. At the time, the building held one of the country‘s finest and most complete medical libraries and rubbed shoulders with the Hungarian parliament before it was relocated to the banks of the Danube.

The building survived the ravages of World War II, the Hungarian uprising of 1956 (that started at the Hungarian radio station a few doors down the street) and the fifty years of neglect and poor maintenance that followed. Prior to its conversion into a boutique hotel in 2009, founders William Clothier and Peter Grundberg resided here with their artist friends, hosting cultural salons and dinner parties. They named the house after respected Hungarian writer, Sandor Brody, and ‘his’ street on which the house is sited.
