Description
Spa Hotel Imperial is a historic 5-star sanatorium built in 1912 and renovated in 2003, located in Karlovy Vary. The hotel specializes in comprehensive spa and balneological treatments using mineral waters from local springs, including the powerful Vřídlo source. It offers 219 rooms of various types, from Economy to Grand Suites, many with city or garden views. The hotel combines traditional healing methods with modern medical approaches, focusing on digestive, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and oncological conditions. Facilities include indoor and outdoor tennis courts, squash, a fitness center, a spa and wellness center with sauna, jacuzzi, massage, and solarium. The architecture resembles a medieval castle rising above the city, set on a hill inside its own park. Guests receive free transport via funicular or bus to the city center. The hotel features multiple restaurants including Paris and Club Imperial, bars, a business center, and ample family services such as a children's playground and nanny services upon request.
Location
Spa Hotel Imperial is situated in the southeastern part of Karlovy Vary, about 3 km from Karlovy Vary Airport (KLV) and 120 km from Prague Airport. The hotel is located on a hill within its own park, offering scenic views over the city. Guests can reach the city center easily via a funicular or bus, both free for spa guests. Nearby dining options include Restaurant Club Imperial just 75 meters away with a 9/10 rating, and Restaurace Černý Kůň 316 meters away rated 8/10. The hotel’s elevated position means a steep walk back from the center, but transportation is provided for convenience.

Reviews
Spa alani hotelden cok hastaneyi andiriyor
Korkutucu koridorlari var
Paris Restoran ve acik bufe restoran secenek cok kisitli
The hotel was nice and provided an old world charm. The spa was clean and had many service options. The food was okay, except the Restaurant Paris which was exzellent. The service throughout was a bit slow and not warm.
Very unfriendly service staff.
For a period we had no warm water. Electric was out and people stuck in lifts. Parking is far from hotel and open. The carpet in dining Area is very dirty. The transport tram to downtown stops at 1900 !
Needed early breakfast some days but not possible and no flexibility.
All rooms have only bathtub with no shower curtain so water everywhere (if warm)
The food is excellent and the rooms too, I'd love to go back
