Accor has announced plans for its first Tribe hotel in Hungary, located on Kertesz Street in the capital Budapest.
The 250-room new-build property is scheduled to open in 2023, and will offer a sky bar, coworking space, fitness centre and bicycle rental facilities.
Accor acquired Australian hotel group Mantra in 2018, and with it a sole existing hotel in Perth under the Tribe name.
The decision was made to roll out the brand as a four-star midscale offering, with ten properties set to open by 2022.
Glasgow had been scheduled to be the first European location for the brand, but that honour ended up going to Tribe Paris Batignolle, a 79-room hotel close to Parc Martin Luther King.
Last summer Accor announced plans for the first Tribe property in England, located on Chicago Avenue as part of Airport City Manchester, around 400 metres from Manchester airport’s Terminal 2.
The brand is also set to debut in the Netherlands, with a 192-room Amsterdam hotel forming part of the ‘Gare du Nord’ development in Amsterdam-North, which will also feature a property under Accor’s Mercure brand.
Commenting on the news Frank Reul, vice president development, Accor Northern Europe, said:
“Tribe is an alternative lifestyle hospitality brand with modern, unique and urban spaces designed in collaboration with local designers.
“The Tribe brand aims to surprise travellers with an original, exciting and carefully curated experience that focuses on style rather than price, making it a leader in the design-led affordable luxury lifestyle sector.
“The vibrant capital of Hungary, and the 7th district, is perfect destination for this sophisticated and contemporary brand, and is sure to win the hearts of guest and locals.”
