I’ll admit that prior to my visit here, the mention of holistic treatments lead to some sort of sarcastic comment – that was until a friend of mine went to the Mirage Medic Hotel **** and wouldn’t stop raving about the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the spirit of a “try everything once” attitude to life I decided, if nothing else, it was a perfect excuse to visit beautiful Budapest and treat myself to a luxury city break. Occupying an idyllic position in front of the entrance to City Park and overlooking Heroes Square, this was too good an opportunity to miss!
The holistic experience begins the moment you step foot through the beautifully preserved doors. Sincerely kind yet professional staff welcome you warmly with a cup of herbal tea and quickly whisk you away to your sanctuary. I was delighted to see the hotel retain an element of its 19th Century origins in rich claret accents, giving an impression of old world glamour, while still welcoming in heaps of light from outside.
The Mirage Medic Hotel **** understands that goodness starts from within; so breakfast is an understandably important affair. In addition to the breakfast buffet on offer, they serve ultra-healthy alternatives if you really want to get your “Qi energy” back in harmony. Despite its growing popularity in Hungary, the Mirage Medic Hotel **** is home to one of the only TCM centres in Central Europe, giving me all the more reason to indulge in my complimentary holistic diagnosis! The hotel, in addition to your usual selection of massages, offers acupuncture treatments and numerous others, ensuring you’re truly rested and rejuvenated from the inside out. The Mirage Medic Hotel **** has certainly proved me wrong; and I’ve never felt better for it!
