among tourists. Worth seeing even if
you don't intend to swim (in summer, the
outdoor part is open to visitors; entrance
to indoor part is paid). See the Baths
section in Budapest for details. Hotel
Gellért is a famous, first class four star
hotel in Budapest, Hungary. The hotel
was erected on the right bank of the
river Danube between 1916 and 1918 in
the (Secession) Art Nouveau style with
some biomorphic elements, at the foot
of Gellért Hill, next to Szabadság Bridge.
The four star Danubius Hotel Gellért,
onetime Saint Gellért Hotel and Spa,
was renovated in 1962 and in 1973. The
spa, swimming pool and plaza built to
the hotel is one of the most beautiful
spas in Budapest. Hotel Gellért has been
called "the first lady of Hungarian
tourism". Gellért is one of the most
famous historical hotels in Europe,
which is well-known by businessmen
and tourists. The inside of the hotel is
built in Art Nouveau style with high glass
cupola and wrought iron decoration. The
characteristic oriental cone-shaped
towers of the hotel and eventful
frontage attract the look from long
distances. Inside the hotel less, but
more in the spa the original Art Nouveau
furnishing stayed with artistic mosaics,
colourful windows and statues. The
ornament of the stairs starting from the
reception in the hotel is the glass
window, made on the basis of layouts of
Bozó Stanisits, representing the Chase
of the Miraculous Deer from the famous
old Hungarian legend. At the beginning
of the 20th century the apartments of
the nobles were characteristically
magnificent, while the other rooms were
simply furnished with carefully designed
pieces. The stylish furnishing of the
rooms does credit to the work carried
out by artists under the direction of
Ferenc Szabja. The domed hall opened
to a formal courtyard which was used as
a conservatory with its sliding glass
roof. The semi-circular lawned courtyard
was surrounded by an alcove for the
orchestra and a colonnade of the pump-
room. The Indian maharajahs with their
numerous attendants visiting Europe
frequently put up at the luxuriously
comfortable Hotel Gellért. During and
after World War II the richly coloured
coffered ceiling of the galleried foyer
and the domed hall reminiscent of the
great halls of the Roman thermal baths
suffered almost irreparable damage. At
the end of the 1950s the reconstruction
of the hotel was started. Nowadays the
Gellért Hotel is characterized by cosily
furnished rooms in which the materials
and colours of the textiles, furniture and
coverings combine to radiate a sense of
calm.

open air museum in Budapest,
dedicated to monumental statues from
Hungary's Communist period (1949–
1989). There are statues of Lenin, Marx,
and Engels, Dimitrov as well and several
Hungarian Communist leaders. The
Statue Park, was first conceived by the
literary historian László Szörényi in 1989
when he suggested the various Lenin
statues from all over Hungary could be
gathered into one "Lenin garden".
According to Ákos Eleőd, the architect:
"This park is about dictatorship. And at
the same time, because it can be talked
about, described, built, this park is about
democracy. After all, only democracy is
able to give the opportunity to let us
think freely about dictatorship." Visitors
may well interpret this as an assertion
that the Hungarian spirit is stronger than
communism. Possible souvenirs are
CDs of Hungarian communist fight
songs, reproduction Hungarian
Communist Party membership booklets,
funny postcards and posters. Ft1,500,
