Mercure Tokaj Center (Tokaj; [email protected]; +36 47 352 344) Opened recently, the 55-room Mercure is the first nice hotel within the city of Tokaj (four-star superior). The rooms are comfy and sizable, and come with high-quality furnishings and bathroom appliances. Some of them also provide a panoramic view onto the confluence of the Bodrog and Tisza Rivers. A wellness room with sauna and pool, a restaurant (Winestone), and private parking are also available.

Andrássy Kúria & Spa (Tarcal; [email protected]; +36 47 580 015)

Despite its small size, the Tokaj wine region boasts a five-star luxury hotel in the village of Tarcal. Part of the building, which dates back to the 18th century, was a manor house of various aristocratic families (the rooms show black-and-white photos from their happy days). Today, the polished 53-room hotel comes with a swimming pool, a spa, and beauty salon. And also a fine dining restaurant, Bobajka, which is among the very best in Hungary.

Hotel Botrytis (Mád, [email protected]; +36 47 348 017)

Botrytis is an 18-room all-inclusive boutique hotel complete with a sauna, jacuzzi, and tennis court. The generous breakfast is most enjoyable from the outdoor terrace perched above Mád, one of the centers of the wine region. On Sunday mornings, you can watch locals gather for service at the medieval Roman Catholic church across the street from the hotel.

Rákóczi-Aspremont Estate (Mád; [email protected]; +3630 324 2521)

This 17th century Baroque estate, once home to the Rákóczi dynasty, now features three lavish suites with many of the original details – three-foot-thick walls, ceiling frescoes, wooden flooring – and period furniture. Attached to the building is a modern winery, which also belongs to the Barta family and offers a free tasting to hotel guests. A comfortable guest house on the other side of the estate provides more modest accommodation at lower price points.

Gróf Degenfeld Castle Hotel (Tarcal, [email protected]; +36 47 580 400)

Once a winery school, today this grand building is home to an elegant four-star 21-room hotel outside the village of Tarcal. The restaurant is full service, rooms are spacious and high-ceilinged, but the highlight is the giant park attached to the estate, complete with vineyards, a winery, tennis courts, and a pool. Within a short hike is the charming white chapel of Saint Teréz on the hilltop. Hotel guests can opt in for a tasting of Degenfeld’d own wines.
