Mihály from Budapest
Paskál Strandfürdő Budapest
Novel bath house and spa
Visiting bathhouses is such a Hungarian tradition, one of the few really great ones. Most of us have been socialising there since childhood. I have great memories from my home town, where we had good times with family there. I'd lost this way of relaxing in Budapest for a while because I'd just been restless and surrounded by hundreds of tourists.
Paskál is not that well known (yet!) - it's more about the calm, hot thermal water and warm vapor. This spa is new, very modern and cozy. It strikes such a great harmonious balance between being fun and relaxing. My doctor advised me to come here for my backpain and I just enjoy it - in Hungary, it's common for doctors to send you to a spa if you have rheumatism or muscle pain, because our water is special. The positive effects of the water help me a lot with this.
There are other services, like a sauna, a hot tub and different kinds of medical massages, all with the greatest well-being of your body and soul in mind.

GoodSpirit Whisky Bar
The perfect evening out
Their gin-based signature cocktail is my absolute number one. It's called “Ramos Gin Fizz” and it’s pure magic in a glass. It never, ever disappoints.

Local paper store, made with love
"Lúd Labor" in Budapest is the perfect stationery shop. More than half its wares are made by local designers, I tend to lose control in here...

My favourite building
The "Hungarian Treasury" in Budapest is a building I show to all my guests. Its secessionist art nouveau style is reminiscent of Antoni Gaudí...
