Relaxation in a Royal Style

Feel Like Charles IV in Karlovy Vary Chateau Spa!

In the 18^th and 19^th centuries the news of the wholesome effects of the local springs spread all around the world and high society - members of aristocracy, artists and rulers - started to visit Karlovy Vary. No doubt you will also fall for its beauty. Take a stroll along the spa colonnades, listen to the magical melodies of the strings of the spa orchestra and try mineral water treatment, baths, packs and other spa procedures utilising the local hot and cold mineral springs.

You can try the wide range of healing and relaxation programmes for yourself if you visit the Chateau Spa, an original, magical place situated in the heart of the spa zone. Its healing pool filled with thermal mineral water is the only pool of its kind to be found in the Czech Republic and is rightly referred to as the most precious jewel of the Chateau Spa. You can look forward to its extraordinary architecture and the “Ghost of the Springs”, a monumental stone relief of the ruler and guardian of all Karlovy Vary springs which is literally situated in the centre of the building. After many years of silence, the Ghost of the Springs was brought back to life in 2001.

A Visit to the Old Times

Are you longing for privacy and full comfort? Spoil yourself with a stay in the Liběchov Residence! The villa, built in the 1930s and restored to its original Art Deco style, offers twelve special suites. Each of them is painted with a different colour but they all have a smaller or larger terrace offering an amazing view of the České středohoří range. Some of them even have direct access to the garden, featuring a water cascade. The overall atmosphere is accented by a stylish restaurant and forest park.

Get pampered by experts in a luxurious hotel wellness centre. Try their cleansing and regeneration steam spa, relaxing whirlpool, discover new body care methods using enzymes or skin detoxification and refresh your mind with aromatherapy and massages! If you appreciate Eco and Organic labels, you will definitely enjoy the treatment by Chateau Mcely Hotel. The originally rural mansion owned by the aristocratic Thurn-Taxis family was transformed into a luxurious eco-hotel offering modern comfort in a neoclassical romantic style. The local restaurant called Piano Nobile will prepare meals made to the old recipes of the original owners of the chateau that you can savour on the chateau patio, offering a romantic view of the surrounding landscape, if the weather is nice. Guests can rest in the “Honey, Silk & Pearls Chateau Mcely Spa” relaxation centre, offering massages and an outdoor whirlpool bath.

Wellness in Historical Style

Strolling in Prague can be tiring even for the most resilient tourists. You will definitely appreciate relaxation, pampering and some spoiling after visiting all the sights.

In addition, the hotel spa is located in an old Renaissance chapel with a glass floor through which you can see the original foundations from the 14^th century.
