Five years ago the four-star Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget (formerly called Thermal Hotel Margitsziget) had its interior completely refurbished and new services added to its range. The hotel interior is now spacious and light, elegantly designed with natural colours and materials. The newly furnished rooms and large terraced suites now provide exceptional comfort and views, the swimming pool and the saunas have been completely rebuilt, and an open-air pool has been built on the sun-terrace. Two new floors and executive rooms have also been added during the course of this modernisation.
The elegant four-star Danubius Grand Hotel Margitsziget was built in a neo-Renaissance style to the great archirect Miklós Ybl’s designs in 1873. Standing on the northern end of Margaret Island, the hotel was restored to its former elegance in 1986 and was fully refurbished in 2000. The lobby and the restaurant faithfully reflect old times even today, the traditional-style kitchen is well-known throughout Budapest, and the shaded terrace under the sycamore trees is unique. The hotel building is linked via a heated underground tunnel with Danubius Health Spa Resort Margisziget, to enable easy access to therapeutic, wellness and fitness services to guests in both hotels.
The Margaret Island Therapy Centre was also modernised in 2001. The thermal waters of Margaret Island are especially useful for treating locomotor diseases, problems of the muscular and nervous systems, and peripheral circulation disturbances. Relaxation in thermal waters is a perfect way to release accumulated stress. The thermal waters, natural therapeutic elements, the micro-climate and the special position of Margaret Island combined with the appropriate technical facilities all play a very important part in recuperation. The services on offer include passes for the swimming pools and fitness facilities, massage offers, mud-pack packages, cardiology rehabilitation programme, spine reinforcement programme, weight-loss programme, post-surgery rehabilitation, beauty treatment and one-day spa programme. The spa offers excellent relaxation with indoor pools, open-air pools, a sun terrace, Jacuzzi, thermal pools, Cleopatra pool, sauna, a steam chamber and perfume chamber.
These hotels on Margaret Island both offer a tranquil environment for conferences and trainings, while their wellness and conference facilities are well-suited to the demands of guests attending all events. Another attraction is that the majority of event rooms have natural lighting. In addition, high-speed WiFi internet access is available in all conference rooms, the lobby, the business centre and other public areas.
