The therapies are combined with the beneficial effects of thermal water from Margaret Island and medicinal mud from Hévíz. Guests can enjoy the a generous breakfast buffet set in the Széchenyi Restaurant, which offers a beautiful panoramic view and evokes the atmosphere of the heyday of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In good weather, the pleasant terrace overlooking the Nagy-rét in Margaret Island is also open for breakfast. In the autumn/winter season you can enjoy tasty snacks and quality drinks in the authentic club-style Viktória Bar, and in the spring/summer season in the Margaret Pub and its shady terrace. The classically furnished rooms overlook the Danube or the magnificent park. They are all air-conditioned and have a mini-bar. The island stretches over 2.5 mi and is protected leafy botanical parkland with ancient trees, a Japanese garden, and a rose garden, an open-air amphitheater, traversed by walking and jogging tracks. It is only a 15-minute drive away from the center of Budapest.
