BDPST Group is a privately held Hungarian investment holding company founded in 2015 that owns and operates a diversified portfolio across hospitality, real estate development, financial services, and logistics. Its hospitality arm runs premium hotels (BOTANIQ Castle of Tura, Dorothea Hotel, Verno House, D8 Hotel, BOTANIQ Máriavölgyi Golf Klub, with Hotel Gellért under renovation), restaurants (Clarisse, Flava, Alelí, Anton by Alelí, BIBO Budapest, Lazy Lion, Bobajka), and the BOTANIQ Budai private club, unified under the BOTANIQ Collection umbrella brand. Its financial arm controls 57% of Gránit Bank (Hungarian digital-first bank with 80,000+ client accounts and balance sheet approaching HUF 700 billion) plus Gránit Asset Management, Equilor Investment, Gránit Biztosító, and Posta Insurance; it holds a 21% stake in Waberer's International Nyrt., a Budapest Stock Exchange-listed European logistics platform.
Product overview
BDPST operates as a multi-sector investment holding company (founded 2015) rather than a single unified software product. Its portfolio is organised around a parent BDPST Group with three operational subsidiaries — BDPST Real Estate Development (BDPST Ingatlanfejlesztő), BDPST Hotel Management Zrt. and BDPST Koncept — plus a financial cluster (Gránit Bank Nyrt., Gránit Alapkezelő, Equilor Befektetési Zrt., Gránit Biztosító, Posta Insurance) and a logistics holding (Waberer's International Nyrt.). Hospitality assets are unified under the BOTANIQ Collection premium umbrella brand (launched April 2024), which includes hotels such as BOTANIQ Turai Kastély, Dorothea Hotel (Autograph Collection), Verno House (Vignette Collection), D8 Hotel, BOTANIQ Budai Klub, BOTANIQ Máriavölgyi Golf Klub and the renovating Hotel Gellért (Mandarin Oriental), along with gastronomy venues Clarisse, Flava Kitchen & More, Alelí Budapest, Anton by Alelí, BIBO Budapest, Lazy Lion and Patricius Wine Estate. The platform-plus-modules architecture is therefore: a group-level investment and brand vehicle (BDPST Group / BOTANIQ Collection), real-estate and hotel-management operating modules, and a separately listed financial-services cluster (Gránit Bank group and Waberer's) that operate as standalone product businesses.
