Spa Hotel Harvey Frantiskovy

Spa Hotel Harvey Františkovy Lázně is a wellness hotel in Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad), the smallest and most intimate of Bohemia's three UNESCO-listed spa towns, known as the 'Pearl of the Czech spas', whose gentle Biedermeier and Empire-style architecture and naturally carbonated iron-rich springs create one of Central Europe's most charming and well-preserved small spa city environments. The calcium and iron-bearing carbonated mineral springs of Františkovy Lázně, discovered in the late 18th century under the patronage of Emperor Francis I of Austria, are valued within a long specialised thermal tradition that continues to attract guests from across Europe. The town's intact ring of Biedermeier and neo-baroque spa villas, the municipal park with its fountains and colonnades, and the gentle Eger River landscape create an atmosphere of refined early 19th-century resort elegance that feels untouched by modern commercial development. Františkovy Lázně's status as part of the UNESCO Great Spas of Europe heritage recognises its extraordinary preservation of the 19th-century spa town experience.
