Gellert Bath - Gellert Spa

Contemporary sources reported about the building, completed in 1918, as follows: "... The monumental architecture, classical in its propertions but Hungarian in its design with a slight Oriental touch, of the enormous building of the Saint Gellert Spa and Spa Hotel Gellert catch the eye of the visitors." Indeed, the artistic impression of the spa, located in the heart of Budapest near the Danube, is created by the wonderful sculptures, ceramic mosaic tiles and tinted glass incorporated. This artistic effect is present not only in the interior, but characterises the open air facilities, such as the pools and the wave pool, as well.
