Gellért Spa, at the Gellért Hotel in Budapest, Hungary. One of the most famous spas in Hungary. From http://www.spa.hu/angol/gellertspa_en.html: Contemporary sources reported about the building, completed in 1918, as follows: "… The monumental architecture, classical in its proportions but Hungarian in its design with a slight Oriental touch, of the enormous building of the Saint Gellért Spa and Spa Hotel catch the eye of the visitors." Indeed, the artistic impression of the spa, located 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 characterizes the open air facilities, such as the pools and the wave pool, as well. In the Gelert Bath almost all health services are available, it has a complete physiotherapeutical department (outpatient hospital), a physiotherapy unit and an inhalatorium. Apart from the jacuzzi and the whirlpool, popular are the sun bathing roof terrace for women and the other one used jointly by naturists. The guests of Hotel Gellért are also regular visitors at the spa.
