Eventrend Group, a key business player in the Hungarian hospitality and event management market, reported a net annual revenue of approximately 61 million euros. The company has also re-entered the hotel management sector. With 1,100 employees, including students, it operates more than 30 projects and manages internationally renowned and acclaimed hospitality and event venues.
The strong growth of inbound tourism—now surpassing 2019 levels—has significantly contributed to this success. Both guest numbers and revenue reached record highs last year in the group’s “bucket list collection” venues. Notably, the 130-year-old New York Café continues to break visitor records year after year, with unprecedented lines forming outside as guests wait to enter. Other distinguished venues include the also 130-year-old Gundel Restaurant, Centrál Grand Café, Spoon The Boat Restaurant, Fakanál Restaurant, Főőrség és Royal Riding Hall, Városliget Café, and Séf Asztala Restaurant in the heart of Budapest.
Last year has been exceptionally strong for event management, with the company contributing to the organization of approximately 7,000 events. Additionally, significant efforts were invested in client relationship management, yielding impressive results.
Event-related revenues surpassed 24,5 million euros. Overall, the Eventrend Group units achieved a record-breaking year in this market segment as well. Last year, the company group returned to the hotel industry. In September, it opened the Carlton Buda Castle Hotel, which has been operating at high occupancy from the very first month and is now running at full capacity.
This year, they plan to expand further in this sector by reopening the Bikács Zichy Estate Hotel in the Hungarian countryside. Additionally, they are in negotiations to take over the management of other hotel properties as well.

Through its dual vocational training program, 270 high school students and 40 university students are gaining practical experience. The company’s leaders are committed to training, connecting, and fostering collaboration between generations, helping young people develop professionally in hospitality and tourism.

The goal is to support and enrich the lives of vulnerable groups, including children and adults with disabilities, and other disadvantaged communities, as well as the organizations that assist them.
