Create an itinerary including St. Gellert Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool
Combine the medicinal healing of St. Gellert Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool with the rich history of the famous Hotel Gellért. Explore the grand hotel and baths, which opened in 1918, and view the stunning main hall, marble balconies, and ornate mosaic terraces. Learn about the hot thermal springs, dating back to the 13th century, and the site itself, which was a hospital during the Middle Ages and a bath during Ottoman rule. The beautiful Art Nouveau women's bath was destroyed during World War II but has been rebuilt and renovated multiple times--as recently as 2008--to restore it to its original grandeur. Experience the natural healing powers of these springs, which supposedly can help relieve joint pain, inflammation, asthma, and other issues, or simply relax in the pools for a spa day.

  • Generally good but they should limit the entrances, despite the fact that you can get it on the internet it is always overcrowded with people, also they do not warn that the bathing cap and sandals...

  • Thermal baths in an old hotel, frequented by tourists and locals alike. We paid about EUR17 for entry. The outdoor hot bath was full and the other one was being fixed. The wave pool was not switched on and was being used as a swimming pool. Nice place for sun tanning in summer. Indoor experience was much better - we enjoyed the hot and cold pools, steam rooms and showers - this experience made the tickets worthwhile. The operators should consider disallowing shoes in locker room. Bring slippers or you will be stepping on dirty floors with wet feet. Lockers were provided free of charge. The staff could also provide more directions when issuing the tickets, and were slightly impolitely chasing people out once it hit closing time. Nice for a first time.
  • Truly stunning baths and equally stunning decor. Had many pools at different temperatures including a few cold water pools my favourite was the outdoor pool only one out of the two was in service as the other pool was under construction, there was a sauna with a cold water tub next to it. We’ll worth spending a few hours pampering yourself. They did have massages and pedicures that were available and an on site cafe.
