Spa Hotel Imperial

Everything was perfect except the staff.

Glorious views of Karlovy Vary from this grande dame of a hotel which exudes its historical glamour - marble staircases, gilt, massive chandeliers- at every turn. Vast comfortable room with an immense bathroom. Superbly clean and well- maintained both in the structure and the gardens. We loved the funicular to town. The breakfasts were wonderful- very extensive and generous. Halfboard evening meal was also good with plenty of choice. The swimming pool is huge ( perhaps 20metres) for a hotel. Beds were very comfortable and there was loads of wardrobe space. Everything in the room worked properly.

The room was vey spacious and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good and offered a lot of variation every day. There were a number of spa activities, such as massages etc. offered if you were so inclined to take advantage of them. We had a Thai massage which was very good. Also, the use of the fenicular going up and down to the center was a godsend.

Room was spacious and beautifully appointed. Bathroom was also very spacious. Really liked the room entry set up to hang coats, hats, shoes, and umbrellas. One of the owners they called Peter, actually helped our daughter get up the hill by carrying her large suitcase. Then, we received a fruit plate sent to our room. It was lovely and helpful. We are guessing it was from him. He went way above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

The hotel is very beautiful from the outside and offers great views from all sides. The lobby is huge, but somehow it feels cold and unwelcoming in terms of decor. The room is spacious, very beautiful, and beds comfortable. Everything is extremely clean. It has a historic charm, taking us back in time. The hotel was built in 1912. Very interesting, like traveling to the past. The spa is quite small and not relaxing,, with a small Finnish sauna, a relatively small pool, and two Jacuzzis. For a 5-star hotel, this is quite limited. They offer various hydro massages, massages, and treatments with mineral water. This is nice. Breakfast is good, but if I stayed more than two days, it would quickly become boring. For a 5-star hotel, some variety is needed instead of offering the same options as in most other hotels. They have very tasty prosciutto and Champagne for the breakfast , that is cool :) Bus number 15 goes to the city center and is free for hotel guests. We didn’t try the cable car, so we’re not sure how it works.
