Gold List: Anantara New York Palace, Budapest, Hungary

Anantara New York Palace is located on the Pest side of the Danube in a building dating back to 1894. Built in the Belle Époque style, it first opened as a hotel in 2006 and was added to the Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas portfolio in 2020.

The 500sqm spa, which opened in late 2022, designed by Dsign Vertti Kivi & Co-Team, features a cave-like network of thermal facilities that lead onto a softly lit 15m indoor relaxation pool. Created and supplied in collaboration with Technogym, Smart Shop Design, IKI, Libero and SAP, facilities include a gym, a sauna, a steam room and a tea lounge, with five single treatment rooms and one couples’ suite offering private bathing rituals.

An extensive collection of therapeutic, anti-ageing and cosmetic treatments is offered with Kaviczky and Thalion. With a combination of hands-on and high-tech modalities, many treatments include locally sourced ingredients and rituals that reflect Hungarian bathing traditions. www.anantara.com/ en/new-york-palace-budapest
