What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
a strikingly modern luxury boutique hotel outfitted with a vast spa and wellness complex, including no fewer than ten swimming pools, as well as a wine bar
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The leafy paths of Kiserdo park sit just below the property, leading straight down to the lakefront Tagore Promenade.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony or terrace looking out toward the lake, town rooftops, or green hillsides.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor pools look out across the hillsides, and a dedicated fitness room holds free weights and cardio machines.
Sauna and steam
A cedar-lined Finnish sauna and blue-lit marble steam cabin sit alongside an indoor plunge pool and snow area.
The spa
Treatment suites have illuminated whirlpool baths beside the massage tables, and therapies draw on organic Hungarian Biola cosmetics.
Ambrosia Wine Bar
Green velvet stools line the curved marble counter. An on-site sommelier pours regional vintages alongside grape-based spirits and tapas.
At the table
Golden chain installations hang above Deliciosa, where the kitchen turns out Neapolitan pizzas and wood-fired Josper grill dishes.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from the wine grape, opening in 2023 to bring Austrian-style thermal retreats to Lake Balaton.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

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.
