Omorovicza Boutique & Spa — Local services in Budapest

When I saw the boutique located just a couple blocks up from our accommodation, I decided what better opportunity to treat myself to my first facial, in the home of the brand.

I booked in for the Illuminating facial because my skin is dry and in need of resurfacing and moisture. When I turned up, the specialist checked my skin and recommended I opt for another type instead because my skin is quite sensitive. I was happy to trust her expertise. She explained in detail what clothing I needed to remove, the process of the treatment, etc, which I appreciated as this was my first facial ever and first time at this spa and was a bit self-conscious.

I’ve never felt so utterly relaxed in my life. Combined with the treatment itself, the music, linens, room temp and lighting...it was all very transcendent. It was such an enjoyable, pampering experience and my skin felt baby soft after.

In the end, I opted for the offer where you spend at least 60,000 HUF and get the treatment complimentary. I asked for advice on which products to buy, saying I’m yet to find a good exfoliater and rich enough moisturiser. She asked where I live so she could consider the climate and, having seen my skin up close, was able to suggest a couple of products I’m thoroughly enjoying so far. I’ll have to see long term how they work for my skin, but so far I love them.

It’s also worth noting, I believe they only provide one treatment at a time, and the boutique is for those receiving treatments (rather than off the street shoppers) so you truly feel pampered and special. A very exclusive experience.

I plan to do it all over again on my next visit to Budapest (Andrássy Avenue) and would consider visiting other locations...

Omorovicza skin care products are unique in their special use of Hungarian thermal waters for their healing benefits. This flagship boutique and spa is modeled after one of these famous Hungarian thermal spas and has wonderful atmosphere.

I first discovered the luxury skin care brand when reading an interview with Rosamund Pike about her experience in filming in Hungary: "Omorovicza, the Hungarian skincare line, has a spa right in the center where I had one of the best facials I’ve ever had. They have a facial mist called the Queen of Hungary Mist, which I now take on set with me all the time, actually. It’s a good one for flying and for giving your skin that drink."

Since experiencing their facials several times since, I couldn't agree more. Nikki is amazing and all the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. The facials, which include the heavenly Hungarian face massage, are highly recommended, as are their excellent skin...

This shop staff used to be more welcoming and professional. Walked in this week to restock an item and from the two ladies standing behind the cashier none of them came to support my need. One said hello from afar the other was busy talking on the phone. The unpleasently looking finally approached me (after I asked If someone would come and help me). She gave me what I needed then she dissapeared with an other client who just arrived for a facial. Then I had to wait for the other one on the phone…after 3-4 minutes of waiting to pay finally she realized she might need to prioritize the customer (btw: she was talking to an other colleague). Noone asked me if I might want something else or even trying to introduce me to any other products. I would expect more from this brand. Luckily there are other high quality...
