Corinthia Hotel, Budapest

Cities

Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and the nation’s political, cultural and commercial centre. Flanking both sides of the river Danube, water activity is of great significance here. In fact, Budapest probably has the best known spa culture in the world, thanks to the water-loving Romans, and later the Turks, who both exploited the city’s thermal properties. There are over eighty geothermal springs in the area, as well as a thermal water cave system found deep below the city. If you prefer to stay above ground, the majority of high-end hotels will boast equally revitalising spa experiences.

Luxury Spa Holidays

Never has a spa been so luxurious, but it’s hardly surprising in Budapest – the home of the spa; natural thermal pools have been used here since Roman times. The Corinthia’s spa actually dates back to 1886 but has been lavishly renovated in recent years. These days, guests enjoy 1,000m² of hot tubs, relaxation rooms, jetted spas and Vichy showers. In total, there are twelve treatment rooms as well as Niagara bath tubs and mud and seaweed baths. French spa products by Phytomer are used to heal, de-stress and rejuvenate while example treatments include a Deluxe Red Grape Ritual and Spa Ritual with Sea Shells of Ceylon. Totally irresistible and nothing short of perfect – lie back and let tranquillity wash over you.
