Kurhotel Krivan

The Art Nouveau Kurhaus Kriváň (main building) and Concordia (annexe) are located in the spa centre of Karlovy Vary, close to the Mill Colonnade.

Kurhotel Krivan is in the heart of Karlovy Vary, right beside the Mill Colonnade. Its location puts healing springs, historic sights and charming walks through the spa parks within easy reach. The town centre, with its cafés, shops and cultural attractions, is just a few steps from the hotel, making Kriváň an ideal base for a comfortable treatment stay and discovering the beauty of Karlovy Vary.

During your stay at Hotel Kriváň, you can dine at several restaurants, with tables reserved in advance. Breakfast is served as a buffet. For lunch and dinner, choose from a daily changing menu of six main courses, prepared in line with the principles of the Czech dietary system (light, low-fat and diabetic diets). These diets involve certain restrictions on the foods and drinks available, as well as on their selection and preparation. On request, other special diets can be arranged in consultation with a dietitian. A salad buffet completes the selection.

The hotel has an indoor pool (12 x 5 metres, approx. 28–31°C), which is available for an additional fee. It is equipped with a counter-current system and an underwater massage bench. There is also an infrared sauna, a Finnish sauna, a steam room and an ice chamber for cooling off after your sauna. Guests can also make use of a salt cave. Massages, including lava stone and reflexology massages, and the Haslauer Soft-Pack system offer further relaxation. Hairdressing and pedicure services are also available.

The hotel’s balneotherapy department is open Monday to Friday (7–15:00) and on Sundays (7–12:00), offering a wide range of thermal water treatments, including pearl, CO2, whirlpool and mud baths. Other treatments include hydropuncture, reflexology massage, Parafango, paraffin, pneumopuncture, lymphatic drainage, and electrotherapy, magnetotherapy and oxygen therapy. Therapeutic exercise, Scottish showers and inhalation treatments are also available. Medical care is provided, with nursing staff on call 24 hours a day. The drinking treatment, prescribed by a doctor, is an important part of every treatment programme. The water from Karlovy Vary is among the most effective mineral waters for treating digestive disorders.

Karlovy Vary, together with 11 other spa towns in Europe, has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. There are 5 colonnades and 2 pavilions with mineral springs in Karlovy Vary. More than 80 springs rise here in total, 15 of which are used for drinking treatments. The hottest spring is Vřídlo, at 72°C, with a spray height of 12m. Its high mineral content is also used to make a range of souvenirs. The KV Card gives you access not only to the underground world, but also to a number of museums, galleries and churches. The best-known museums include the House of Becherovka, the Moser glassworks, the Thun porcelain factory, the Imperial Baths and the Karlovy Vary City Museum, among others. The surrounding forests offer a network of walking trails, where you can discover observation towers and forest pavilions. Concerts are held throughout the year, either at the theatre or at the Imperial Baths. In summer, concerts by the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra are regularly held at the colonnade.
