New Hungarian hotel opens in a beautiful forest setting – PHOTOS
The Hungarian Hotel Bérc located in a breathtaking forest scene was recently renovated. Now it awaits visitors with a brand new face and a new name: Lifestyle Hotel Mátra. The hotel has much to offer, from beautiful rooms to pools and culinary delights. However, the most outstanding thing about this one-of-a-kind accommodation is probably its new financial module that helps Hungarian families indulge in a small holiday experience at a Hungarian hotel.
Renovation project
Turizmus Online reports that the Lifestyle Hotel Mátra, formerly known as Hotel Bérc and located in a serene forest setting, has been extensively renovated by its new owners. The renovation process, supported by both the EU and Hungarian state funding of HUF 819 million (EUR 2.1 million), took six months and cost nearly HUF 3 billion (EUR 7.7 million). Improvements made during the renovation include a new roof, windows, carpeting, and a complete upgrade of mechanical systems. Additionally, the Hungarian hotel’s wellness area has been enhanced and several high-level services have been introduced.
Hilaris Hotels group
The Hilaris Hotels group has opened its first hotel in Hungary, part of a strategic expansion by the group which already manages five successful hotels in Austria. Péter Zentai shared that since taking over management in January of the previous year, their Austrian properties have seen a notable increase in efficiency and revenue. The founder says:
From the very first moment, Hilaris has had a very important concept of a Hungarian-to-Hungarians approach, and the idea of creating affordable tourism for Hungarians at home and abroad.
A brand new financial concept for a Hungarian hotel
The Hilaris Hotels group in Hungary has launched a unique “use now, pay later” financing model, enabling guests to pay a deposit and the remainder in six interest-free monthly instalments after their stay. This initiative aims to make hotel services more accessible to Hungarian families facing economic challenges, with plans to extend this model to other properties.
What does the hotel offer?
The hotel offers diverse room types, including standard, balcony, panoramic, and junior suites, along with family suites and a premium Lifestyle Suite. Pet-friendly and connecting rooms are also available to accommodate larger family groups. The unique Hungarian hotel has enhanced its amenities with unique wellness services like a Krio chamber, oxygen therapy, and dead sea floating, alongside traditional offerings such as massage rooms, a sauna complex with seven saunas, a plunge pool, and indoor and outdoor pools.
A delightful culinary experience
During the opening ceremony, Péter Zentai emphasised the renovated Hungarian hotel’s upgraded culinary offerings, led by Executive Chef Gábor Krausz. The gastronomic focus is on dishes using local ingredients that align with health-conscious trends, offering a dynamic menu that changes seasonally and reflects the hotel’s identity, with a robust à la carte selection in addition to half board. Guests at the ceremony experienced high-quality culinary creations, including kid-friendly options, vegetarian delights, and innovative takes on traditional desserts like bird’s milk and panna cotta.
