About Grandhotel Pupp, Karlovy Vary
221 rooms and suites on the Teplá in the heart of Karlovy Vary, with the Spa Franziska and its large pool, steps from the colonnades and mineral springs.
The story of Grandhotel Pupp goes back to 1701, when the Saxon Hall was built; six generations of the Pupp family developed it over the centuries into Karlovy Vary's best-known address, and in 2026 it marks 325 years. Since 2021 the town has been one of UNESCO's Great Spa Towns of Europe.
The hotel has 221 rooms and suites in two wings: Riverside, with classic rooms and the Imperial and Presidential Suites, and Parkside. Many films were shot here, including the James Bond film Casino Royale, and every summer it welcomes the stars of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
From the hotel you walk along the Teplá to the colonnades and the hot mineral springs in minutes. Karlovy Vary is about two hours from Prague by car, and our team arranges the transfer, halal meal requests and treatments at the spa.
