The hotel

Its design was inspired by the old quarry and the surrounding nature. The name Minaro comes from the words mine and oro. The first part comes from the word mine, which is self-explanatory, as the hotel is located in an old quarry. The second part means gold because the wines of Tokaj are usually referred to as liquid gold.

When it comes to the interior, the hotel drew inspiration from the design of South American cultures. Most prominently it was influenced by the Incas, who also used a lot of andesite in the Andes. The surrounding rivers and forests create an incredibly peaceful environment.

What can you do?

We shall not forget that the hotel is located in Tokaj. This means that it is also heavily focused on providing a gastronomical experience. Hotel Minaro offers master courses in cooking, it hosts cooking shows and wine-tasting events. You can discover the taste of Tokaj in the elegant Tortuga restaurant or you can have a drink in the Viracocha bar. Furthermore, there is also the Event Center which can host more than a hundred guests.

What would a hotel be without a spa? Those who want to swim can head down to the indoor and heated swimming pool. For the brave, there is a small aqua park outside too. Although, in the winter, this might not be the place you want to be. Other than these, there are jacuzzis, saunas and wellness, where you can have a relaxing time.
