What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside, the hotel seems to be inspired by the Maya culture of Mexico; a comment, perhaps, on the similarities between gold mining and the production of white wine.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In a former andesite stone quarry amid the volcanic foothills of the Tokaj wine region.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony facing the vineyards. Deluxe rooms add their own Finnish saunas.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to 34 degrees, and an outdoor relaxation pool steams against the quarry hillside.
The spa
Treatment rooms use Sothys Paris and Skeyndor skincare, set beside aroma cabins and a salt room.
Paloma Bar
Guests can order drinks directly from the outdoor pool, or sit under a jungle mural at the onyx counter.
Tortuga Restaurant
Chef István Csorba serves Argentine Angus steak and Tokaj wines beneath patterned black and gold columns.
At the table
Viracocha Bar mixes Central American spirits with Tokaj sparkling wine at an illuminated onyx counter.
How it began
The name combines the Spanish words for mining and gold, nodding to the quarry grounds and Tokaj's sweet wine.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
