Tiszavirág Hotel is located in the Balassa-house, a spot built during the 1860s in a romantic design with decorations influenced by other styles, like balustrades straight out of the Renaissance. It used to be a commercial-civil house, and later on, during communism, became state-owned. Today it’s a hotel in Szeged that holds on to both its architectural and gastronomical traditions. Positioned in the very centre of the Szeged, it has 12 rooms of different sizes and styling, which boosts the feeling of staying in a home-like environment. The inner court has a show-kitchen, while on the lower ground of the hotel guests can relax in the spa with a sea-climate room, a tepidarium, steam room and traditional sauna.

Baroque beauty with a modern twist, the Mozart Hotel in the heart of Szeged, just three minutes walking distance from the Cathedral and the neighbourhood of all the most important city sights, is a real favourite.
