After having been refurbished this celebrated medicinal baths and hotel multifaceted is now one of the optimum of its kind in Budapest. There was a therapeutic spa here as early as the 13th C. According to the raconteur Evliya Celebi of Istanbul the Turks extended the institution and rehabilitated it into a lavish health spa. It was also well admired with the Habsburg rulers. After this edifice had been pulled down at the end of the 19th C the new one we see today, combining hotel and baths under one roof, was constructed in Secessionist style between 1911 and 1918 to plans by A. Hegedüs, A. Sebestyén and J. Stark.
