Hotel Gellert and thermal baths, Budapest, Hungary, August 2002



The inside pool and the main lobby at the baths of the historic Hotel Gellert in Budapest, Hungary. Located on the right bank of the river Danube, the Art-Nouveau hotel was built between 1916 and 1918, and the adjoining Gellert Baths spa dates from the same period. The earliest references to local waters' healing capacities date back to the 13th Century, and in the Middle Ages a hospital was located on the site.

The complex is renowned for its Art-Nouveau main hall, seen in the second photo, with its gallery and glass roof.
