Thermals & Baths

Spa culture began to develop in Hungary during the Turkish era in the 16th century. Today, fifteen Budapest spas await those interested to heal or just relax. Our personal favorites are Gellért, Széchenyi or Rudas baths, where the buildings themselves have wonderful historical values.

We recommend that you bring a bathing suit, towel and slippers. In most cases, these products can be rented or purchased in thermal baths, but it is best if you make your own. Andrassy Thai Hotel cannot provide extra towels for external locations, so please be prepared.

Széchenyi Bath

There are 21 wellness and medical pools in the Széchenyi Baths.

The spa’s famous thermal water comes from Budapest’s second-deepest well (1246 meters) and, in addition to relaxation, it is also recommended for joint and spinal diseases, chronic arthritis, orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation after accidents, spinal complaints, neuralgia and osteoporosis.

In addition to traditional medical services, the entrance ticket also offers many wellness services, such as a gym, sauna, aerobics, and aquafitness.

In September 2012, the Széchenyi Bath received the Hungarian Product Grand Prix.

Gellért Bath

The history of the Szent Gellért bath began with an ancient bath, the source of which is first mentioned in a 10th century chronicle.

In its current form, the Szent Gellért bath opened its doors in September 1918, and since then it has only undergone renovations that preserve its historical character. The style of the spa is Art Nouveau, and the dome bears the hallmarks of the Baroque.

The healing water of the spring of Gellért Hill can also help with circulatory complaints, spine problems and joint ailments.

Rudas Bath

The construction of the Rudas bath between 1566-1572 is linked to the name of the Pasha of Buda, Mustafa Szokoli, and the bath is still open to this day.

The Turkish tradition of bathing in an apron is passed down. Since the renovations in 2004, ladies can also use the services of the steam department on Tuesdays, on women’s days, and on Friday afternoons and weekends, during social bathing.
