What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This distinctly family-friendly resort (there’s a go-kart track on site) is an outdoorsy marvel unto itself.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dense beech woods of the Bükk mountains surround the property, and marked hiking trails lead straight into the hills.
The rooms
Two-storey log cabins have shaded outdoor pergolas among the trees. Across the grounds, Forest Design suites face a dedicated infinity pool.
The spa and outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The main outdoor pool stays warm through winter beside the forest, and treatment rooms use Japanese Forlle'd skincare.
The saunas and pools
The panoramic log sauna looks straight out into the forest. Inside, heated experience pools hold submerged hydrotherapy loungers.
Restaurant
Avalon Ristorante
Neapolitan pizzas and fresh pastas come from the open kitchen into a sunlit conservatory beside the forest.
Lobby Bar
Bartenders pour champagne flights and cocktails over a fluted teal counter set beneath hanging brass shelves.
At the table
Vino Salone pours tastings from 2,500 bottles around a circular table, and The Club Avalon cooks over open embers.
How it began
Beverage maker Hell Energy carved the resort out of the Bükk hillside in 2015 as a woodland entertainment park.

How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
