The best-known, and most upscale, baths in Budapest (attached to the Hotel Gellért), built in 1918. The Gellért includes thermal baths and a main pool. The Art-Nouveau main hall is topped by a vaulted glass roof; the gallery surrounding the pool is supported by elegant Roman-style columns. Here a certain grandeur attaches even to the act of dogpaddling. Non-swimmers can pay 2 000 HUF to look around the beautiful mosaic-studded entrance hall and peep into the pool.
