Abstract

Drawing on a study of eating and drinking venues operating in dilapidated, urban buildings in Budapest, Hungary, this paper considers the relationship between hospitality, culture and urban regeneration. The paper reviews previous work on culture and urban regeneration and locates the role of hospitality within emerging debates. It traces the evolution of the rom phenomenon before examining the interaction of hospitality, entrepreneurship, capital and culture within the production and consumption of these venues. The paper introduces the notion of guerrilla hospitality and discusses how this type of hospitality draws on and feeds into a range of social, cultural and spatial processes. The paper concludes by outlining the potential roles that hospitality can play in regeneration, and it considers how the study of hospitality can provide insights into the complex entanglement of cultural activities in the processes of urban change.
