Budapest/Frankfurt am Main, August 20, 2024 – Spend the night on Hungary’s highest observation tower, in floating lake houses or in the largest glamping bubble in Europe: the land of the Magyars has many exciting accommodations to offer.
Hungary, especially its capital Budapest, is known for its magnificent hotels, many of which are housed in historic buildings.
But the country also offers adventurous tourists unusual places to sleep away from traditional accommodation.
Whether it’s an overnight stay under treetops, in an authentic yurt or in a hideaway that can only be reached by boat – there is a wide range of unique accommodation to discover in Hungary. Hello Wood Cabins in Kapolcs In the picturesque heights of Lake Balaton, in Kapolcs to be precise, Hello Wood has opened its first self-operated accommodation.
The “Kapolcsi Sziklák” (Rocks of Kapolcs) are a revitalized 300-year-old village that has now been expanded with two more spacious bungalows.
These rock-inspired constructions blend harmoniously into nature and offer guests a special experience.
A highlight is the breakfast, which is delivered directly to the terrace in a basket and contains local, sustainable products. Kormorán Marina in Tiszafüred On the shores of Lake Tisza and the lively Tisza River lies the Kormorán Marina, a retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

We particularly recommend the lake cottages, which offer breathtaking views of the lake and create a completely relaxed atmosphere. Tree houses in Noszvaj Noszvaj is a small town on the southern edge of the Bükk Mountains.

The castle not only offers overnight accommodation, but is also ideal for events such as family celebrations or weddings. Safari Lodge in Zalacsány The Pálos Resort in Zalacsány, which was named one of the 28 best places to stay in Europe in 2018, offers rustic but comfortable accommodation.
The three-bedroom Safari Lodge is particularly family-friendly and offers a unique view of the resort’s own herd of fallow deer.
There is a large playground for children, while adults can enjoy the peace and quiet on the terrace. . Bivak Galyatető On Hungary’s highest vantage point, Galya, you will find one of the country’s most extraordinary accommodation options in the middle of the Mátra Mountains.
It was designed in 2015 by two of the best contemporary Hungarian architects and has won various architectural awards.
On the top three floors of the 30-metre-high viewing platform, there are three shared accommodations that can be booked as single rooms or as a whole hut for up to five people. Pataklak yurt in Mátra For an authentic experience, try the Pataklak yurt in Mátrakeresztes.

SmartBed™

How YOTEL makes its guests dream

YOTEL, the innovative hotel brand, is setting new standards for restful sleep with SmartBed™, Bodyclock and Recovery Kit and is a pioneer in the “Sleep Tourism” trend.
Now travelers in Switzerland can also test these offers.

Geneva/Frankfurt am Main, July 31, 2024 – For many, travel is one of the best things in life, but it can also be very stressful.
From long-haul flights and jet lag to changes in working hours, it can have a significant impact on sleep patterns.
Today, travelers are prioritizing sleep like never before, and hoteliers are responding accordingly: from high-techsleep pods and luxurious bedding to relaxation-enhancing room design, the trend of sleep tourismis fundamentally changing expectations of well-being on the road.
YOTEL, the international and innovative hotel brand, recognized this need of its guests back in 2015 and introduced the ‘SmartBed™’.
Inspired by the luxurious seats in business and first class cabins on long-haul flights, this space-saving concept had never before been implemented in a hotel context and has since become the cornerstone of YOTEL’s sleep standardworldwide. No longer Sleepless in Switzerland With the opening of the YOTEL Lake Geneva in April, the SmartBed™ has now also found its way to Switzerland.
Located just a few minutes from Geneva Airport and close to Lake Geneva, the YOTEL brand’s first Swiss hotel offers its signature technology and design in every room.
YOTEL’s fundamental design principle is based on offering its guests efficiently and creatively designed hotel rooms.
At the center is the patented SmartBed™, which is highly adaptable and effortlessly transforms from a flat bed to a sofa at the touch of a button.
This dynamic functionality optimizes the use of space and meets guests’ changing needs for relaxation, productivity or entertainment.
Before bedtime, however, guests at YOTEL Geneva Lake can enjoy views of the picturesque landscape of Lake Geneva, the Alps and even Mont Blanc on sunny days from the rooftop terrace.
Hikes through the neighboring vineyards or bike rides along the lakeshore fill your lungs with fresh country air and help prepare you for a restful night’s sleep.
According to sleep scientists, fresh air has a calming and fatiguing effect, so spending more time outdoors during the day can help you feel sleepy at night. Good morning Sunshine!

To further enhance the quality of sleep, YOTEL has recently introduced Lumie.
The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 is designed to regulate the sleep-wake cycle and mimics the natural rising and setting of the sun.
It gradually awakens sleepersso that they feel more alert when they wake up.
In the evening, Lumie allows you to wind down naturally by simulating a sunset.
YOTEL guests can borrow a Lumie free of charge at selected YOTELs worldwide, including YOTEL Geneva Lake. Beauty Sleep Globetrotters arriving at Geneva Airport after a long and tiring flight can treat their skin to an extra dose of relaxation with Urban Jungle’s Skin Recovery Kit.

The Skin Recovery Kit can be added as an extra to any booking.
Urban Jungle’s commitment to sustainability, inclusivity and diversity is evident in their 100% vegan and cruelty-free products, as well as their use of EcoPure packaging and large, refillable bottles to promote plastic reduction and waste minimization. ‘Sleep Well’ add-on YOTEL Geneva Lake is now offering a new booking add-on that allows guests to try out all of YOTEL’s sleep-enhancingamenities: The ‘Sleep Well’ add-on includes:
