Kurpark Thermal Bad Homburg is located in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, a prestigious spa town in the Taunus hills just north of Frankfurt, historically one of the most fashionable thermal resorts in Europe during the 19th century — a destination that attracted the Kaiser, British royalty, and international aristocracy, and that gave the world the Homburg hat and is credited by some historians with inspiring the creation of modern casino gambling. The iodine-rich thermal waters of Bad Homburg's Elizabethan Springs, named after the Russian tsarina who came to take the waters, are classified as carbonic acid iodine springs of rare mineral composition, valued within a long European thermal tradition. The magnificent Kurpark, a 44-hectare landscaped park with exotic trees and rose gardens encircling the historic Kurhaus and thermal promenade, creates one of Germany's most refined and historically opulent spa park settings for thermal bathing in the Taunus hills above the Frankfurt skyline.

Insider tip — The Trinkkuranlage sits within Bad Homburg's elegant Kurpark, a UNESCO World Heritage candidate site where visitors sip chloride-rich mineral water straight from ornate drinking pavilions. The spring has been bottled and prescribed since the 19th century, making it one of Germany's most storied drinking cures. Arrive in the morning when the park is quiet and the water freshest from the source.
