Once upon a time a vision became reality and in 2005 the Carlsbad Plaza Medical Spa & Wellness Hotel opened its doors to clients and ever since it is the favorite place for many people to relax, enjoy and receive medical treatments in combination with a pleasant atmosphere and the home of many happy memories.
The historical part of today's Carlsbad Plaza Medical Spa & Wellness Hotel 5* Superior consists of four interconnected buildings whose historical names were Rudolfshof, Quirinal, Neapol and Moskau. Their origins date back to the late 19th century. Except for the Quirinal, all these buildings served as spa residences.
After 1945, all spa residences were confiscated by the Czechoslovak state, but they were still used for the same purposes. In 1982 the spas were officially included among the cultural monuments of the city and after 1992 they were interconnected and became the Sanatorium Florencie. Like all other spa residences in Karlovy Vary, the Sanatorium Florencie was modernized, but due to fewer guests and not enough state funding to pay reconstruction works it was closed.
How a vision became reality.
Even the most exciting projects started with a mere thought and a solid vision. Just like the construction of the Carlsbad Plaza, which according to the original plan, was to be named hotel Ellen, was just a thought in the beginning. The idea was to create something unique in Karlovy Vary, which was not yet existent and has so far been missing.
The company Eden Group a.s. started extensive reconstruction to save this historic jewel in 2003. After two years of demanding work, the Carlsbad Plaza Hotel opened in December 2005 and the historic residence rose from the debris in style.
The hotel is situated in a quiet ambiance of the spa area of Karlovy Vary, close to the world-famous curative thermal mineral springs and picturesque historic colonnades. The interior is very cosmopolitan. To make every guest feel at home, all components for the hotel have been selected carefully. Ingenuity is evident in every part of the hotel with which everything has been thought out to the last detail. Perhaps many may be surprised by the list of countries that have contributed to the Carlsbad Plaza Hotel. You may find segments not only from the Czech Republic but also from the UK, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, China, Indonesia, Java and many others.
What has changed recently?
