On Friday, February 13, 2026, Gyula turns into a full-on Valentine’s playground, rolling out romantic programs across multiple venues for couples, friends, families, and seniors. It’s not just lodging: in this historic, romantic setting, couples find candlelit vibes, friend groups get fun, kids get playtime, parents get wellness, and seniors get real recharge. As a family-friendly wellness destination, local hotels aim to help every generation blissfully unplug. Wellness Hotel Gyula leans into this: year-round, holidays included, every package includes full board for the price of half-board, making it a strong pick not only for vacations but for off-season escapes too.
Stay Steps from the Castle and Baths
Right in the center of Gyula, just about 50 meters from the Castle and the iconic Gyula Castle Spa (Gyulai Várfürdő), Abbázia Apartment and Studio welcomes guests with convenience that’s hard to beat. Nearby, Angelhaus Guesthouse offers a calm, green pocket close to the spa, open year-round. Another apartment sits 50 meters from the Gyula Castle Spa (Gyulai Várfürdő): the Castle and the Boating Lake are a one-minute stroll, and the place is fitted to meet every need.
By the Water, Near Everything
An apartment house downtown, right by the summer entrance to the baths and on the banks of the Élővíz Canal, puts you within 100 meters of a dip and a 10-minute walk from Gyula Castle and the pedestrian street. With six separate, tastefully furnished apartments and 20 total beds, it’s ideal for bigger families or groups of friends traveling together.
Family-First Comfort, Superior Suites
Aqua Hotel Gyula Superior is purpose-built for families with small children and guests headed to the spa. Superior rooms with separate living rooms and bedrooms keep longer stays comfortable. The same spirit runs through Corvin Hotel Gyula & Wellness Apartments, which sets the scene for holidays, romantic downtime, and kid-friendly breaks. Choose from superior open-plan rooms or family rooms with separate spaces for the right balance of togetherness and privacy.
Boutique Buzz and Five-Sauna Bliss
Corso Boutique Hotel Gyula sits in the lively heart of downtown, in the business and shopping area, a short stroll from major sights. From its rear entrance on the Gyula promenade, guests step straight into the bustling pedestrian strip, flowered parks, fountain-dotted squares, and a spread of museums, shops, restaurants, patisseries, and nightlife. Its exclusive wellness area is a head-to-toe refresher and mental reset; the sauna world features five distinct types to match any mood.
Classic Cafés and Castle Culture
Next to the café at the Almásy Castle Visitor Center (Gyulai Almásy-kastély Látogatóközpont), the museum gift shop team welcomes you with charm and carefully curated souvenirs. Open 10 a.m.–6 p.m., closed Mondays. And don’t miss Százéves Confectionery (Százéves Cukrászda), operating since 1840 and Hungary’s second-oldest confectionery. In its gorgeous Empire-style building, painted walls, original Biedermeier furniture, and classic pastries, parfaits, candies, and ice creams whisk you back to a buzzing 19th-century café scene. During the 1984–1986 restoration, they revived the Reform Era mood and turned the old bakery into a confectionery museum with period tools. A major 2004 revamp kept this Southern Great Plain gem shining—and still delivering unique, unforgettable flavor moments.
