As part of the IHG Academy, our hotel offers students studying hotel and catering at secondary and higher education institutions the opportunity to learn the hotel business in practice. The programme accepts students from vocational schools for 2 years and students from colleges and universities for 3-6 months. The programme focuses on experiential learning, but also includes an important role for group and online training developed by InterContinental. After the placement, students return to their institutions to complete their studies.

Since 2013, our hotel has been a member of the Green Globe community, an organisation that operates in 83 countries with the aim of assessing hotel and hospitality operators on environmental and sustainability criteria. To achieve Green Globe certification, you must meet an internationally agreed set of criteria. We are proud that InterContinental Budapest was the first hotel in Hungary to achieve this certification - and since then we have been operating under the strict supervision of the organisation.

Sustainability and environmental protection are among the core values and objectives of our hotel. Our hotel's public areas and guest rooms are lit by LED bulbs, our building services system regulates the indoor temperature according to the weather, and we also use energy-saving solutions for cooling or heating our rooms. Furthermore, taps and shower heads are water-efficient, and electrical appliances such as mini-bar fridges and televisions are also energy-efficient.

Our hotel has long and proudly supported non-profit organisations - we believe that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a huge difference to the world around us. Our key partner is the Pető Institute for the Development and Integration of Children with Central Nervous System Impairment, but we also work with the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service, the Don't Give Up Foundation for the Integration of the Disadvantaged and the Hungarian Red Cross, among others.
