What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Art Hotel Szeged is housed in an eye-catching brick-and-glass structure in the compact city center, and its interiors are filled with bold patterns and modern furniture.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Votive Church and Dóm tér sit right outside the door. A two-minute stroll brings you to the Tisza River.
The rooms
Vibrant color palettes brighten the bedrooms, and select rooms open onto balconies over a quiet inner courtyard.
Sauna and steam
Finnish and infrared saunas sit next to a steam bath. A cold bucket shower waits just outside.
Sanzon Restaurant
French chansons play across the dining room, and tables spill onto a courtyard terrace shaded by canvas sails.
At the table
The lobby bar stays open around the clock, with tub chairs set along floor-to-ceiling windows for drinks and coffee.
How it began

Balogh and Széll Architects Studio shaped the brick-and-glass exterior to mirror the historic red-brick monuments of Dóm tér.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
