Aqua-Palace Hotel is a thermal hotel complex in Hajdúszoboszló, Hungary's most visited thermal spa town located in the Great Hungarian Plain of Hajdú-Bihar county, where accidental drilling for oil in 1925 struck one of the world's most mineral-rich thermal springs, establishing what became known as the spa capital of the Great Plain. The bicarbonate-chloride thermal waters, emerging at 73°C from a depth of nearly 1,200 meters, are appreciated within a long thermal tradition, drawing over a million visitors annually to Hajdúszoboszló's extensive spa complex. Aqua-Palace Hotel offers direct access to these exceptional thermal facilities along with comfortable accommodation, making it an ideal base for experiencing Hungary's remarkable geothermal heritage.
Insider tip — Located in the flat agricultural heartland of the Great Hungarian Plain near Debrecen, the Aqua-Palace Hotel draws geothermal waters from the deep Pannonian basin aquifer at 40°C. The surrounding puszta landscape of the Hortobagy National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a uniquely Hungarian experience of open grasslands and traditional grey cattle herds. The thermal complex combines hydrotherapy pools with modern wellness facilities typical of Hungary's strong gyogyfurdo tradition.
