Budapest’s iconic bath to reopen in 2022 November!
Change language:
The Hungarian capital is widely known for its thermal baths, spas and pools, where visitors of every age can enjoy multiple recreation programs. The elegant hotels built near these offer comfortable accommodation, and Budapest is one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals. Thus, it is not surprising that, before the epidemic, foreign tourists swarmed in the city and the baths, and they are expected to return from next spring. And the Rác bath in Buda seems to reopen just when foreign tourism starts to skyrocket again.
Work already started
According to Népszava, at the beginning of September, the Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei Zrt. (BGYH Ltd.), a company owned by the local government of the capital got the Rác thermal bath back. Ildikó Szűts, the CEO of the Ltd, added that they started drafting a technical status report of the building. Next week, there will be electricity again in the buildings. As a result,
work is expected to continue swifter.
Based on the CEO, the buildings have been abandoned for ten years. Thus, they suffered significant damages. Therefore, the company’s task is now to submit a renovation plan to the local government. According to previous estimates, the costs will exceed 2.5 bn HUF (EUR 6.9 million) and last for eight months. Thus, they calculate with a reopening in 2022 November.

It will be delightful to see the Rac Baths re-opened again.
The Hotel attachment – good luck with that one – as we are already at the Hotel – Saturation – point in Budapest, with others under construction and planned, on the table, still to be built.
Rac Baths – magnificent location for citizens and tourist – beautiful setting and serviced for all by our wonderful public transport services, that we have in Budapest.
The design of the hotel looks awful with the original baths- it almost gets lost especially with a park setting.
Agree with TM.
Hotel design APPALLING in architectual similarity not at all COMPROMISING nor Complimentary – with Historic original building.
In the “face lift” – think about this total disjointment of period architecture – to entice people, in particular tourists – to want come and stay and enjoy the thermal medicines – that are a Gyogyfurdo.
