History & Story
As a result of the population growth in the 1800s, there was an increased demand for landscaped squares and promenades to replace the dusty streets covered in sand causing serious concern. István Széchenyi, a prominent politician of the time was also lobbying for such innovations when he dreamt of the promenade to be located in the vicinity of Rosenberg House, in the area that was empty at that time. Széchenyi envisioned an urban oasis where the people could spend their time together and take a rest on the hectic days experienced in the capital. With tiny steps, though, Rosenberg House made efforts to serve as such shelter for its residents and visitors. The building, which previously functioned as a tenement, has been a popular accommodation of artists, philanthropists and politicians in the past more than hundred years thanks to its central location. Located in the vicinity of Liberty square in Október 6. street, the building of Verno House has played an essential role in the everyday life of the area since the 1800s. The building, which previously functioned as a tenement and a hotel, opened its doors again at the end of 2022. The vibrant streets of the city centre, the main attractions of Budapest and the promenade with plane trees at Liberty square are all walking distance from the hotel; thus, its central location makes the hotel a perfect destination for the visitors.
Date Renewal
The hotel opened in December 2022. When designing the hotel and its restaurant, Flava Kitchen & More, it was important that the interior spaces should reflect everything that the basic concept includes. The interior design plans were prepared by Júlia Losonczi, Veronika Pusztai and András Gyökér working for Studio Bis. They took great care of making the bigger details, such as the selection of furniture and textiles, as well as the smallest elements be in perfect harmony with the messages of the hotel.
Main Strengths, Special Touch
Nestled adjacent to Budapest’s largest downtown park, with no other hotel in the vicinity.
The great number of spectacular accessories of the hotel all contribute to the uniqueness and special atmosphere of Verno House, and the products of several Hungarian designers are also among them. The ceramics to be found in the house include the products by Susu Keramika, Muuto, Ferm Living and Westwood, and the furniture is provided by Katona Manufaktúra, Spirit Home and Westwood. The sophisticated and high-quality textiles are provided by the design studio of JAB Anstoetz. The grand lamp to be found in the lobby was designed by LumoConcept Kft. When furnishing the meeting room of the hotel, reflecting the concept mood was important, and, also, great emphasis was placed on the selection of design objects and books.
Photographer Zoltán Tombor took unique photos to recall the atmosphere of the urban jungle in the hotel rooms and the community spaces of the hotel and the restaurant. Zoltán Tombor started to create the photos to be placed in the building on the basis of the history of Liberty square and the house as well as the brand concept of the hotel.

Fun Facts
Urban Jungle concept The environment of the building has influenced the concept of Verno House to a great extent: the park of Liberty square and the lively streets of the city centre both inspired the design of the atmosphere in the hotel. The hotel provides shelter from the “dust” of the city as a true downtown jungle, and it functions as a community space where travellers from all over the world can make friends easily. The concept recalls the idea born in the 19th-century Budapest, according to which the residents and the visitors of a city can respect all its modern features only if the city also has a calm and natural environment where everybody can take a rest from time to time. Based on this idea, greenery and the connected visual elements play a key role in the hotel as part of the concept.
