Carlsbad Plaza is a luxury spa hotel in Karlovy Vary, situated in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Bohemian spa city whose 12 hot springs and magnificent Belle Époque colonnades have attracted European royalty, artists, and intellectual visitors since the 14th century. The bicarbonate-rich thermal spring waters of Karlovy Vary, emerging at temperatures of 40–73°C, are prescribed in formal medical spa programmes for digestive disorders, metabolic conditions, and liver disease in a therapeutic tradition with over six centuries of documented history. The Carlsbad Plaza's spa facilities draw on this tradition while offering contemporary five-star luxury, combining historic Karlovy Vary spring water treatments with modern wellness therapies in a setting overlooking the colonnaded promenade and the forested valley walls. Karlovy Vary's annual International Film Festival, its glass and crystal craft heritage, and the surrounding Bohemian forest landscape make the city one of the most culturally distinguished spa destinations in Central Europe.

Insider tip — Carlsbad Plaza sits directly on Karlovy Vary's famous spa promenade, channeling the town's bicarbonate spring water at a bracing 42°C into its pools. The colonnaded setting along the Tepla River makes this one of the most scenically dramatic wellness addresses in Central Europe. Pair a morning soak with a stroll between the 13 historic spring pavilions.
