Address:

Hotel Termál builds on the rich spa history of the village Vyhne and thermal water with healing effects. The hotel boasts a wellness area with untreated water from its own thermal spring, which changes daily in the pools. The kitchen is run by chef Ján Kotora, who, judging by guest feedback, maintains a high standard of taste and styling of the dishes served. He has prepared a special recipe for venison loin with sweet potato puree. We tasted it and we can boldly say that Hotel Termál has a cuisine that is not to be praised anymore, but to be tried. In the hotel's restaurant you can choose from the permanent Á la Carte menu, seasonal dishes, chef's specialties but also traditional cuisine.
