About the hotel
We roll out the red carpet only once a year, but you will feel like a star every time you stay with us.
The Thermal Hotel provides dozens of services under one roof. The unique Brutalist building houses a wellness centre, a spa, restaurants, bars, a swimming pool and conference rooms. The hotel offers accommodation in a total of 273 rooms and suites. Every year it welcomes the movie stars attending the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and hosts the festival screenings. Even if you stay here only once, you will remember it forever.
Nature & Activities
Regardless of the time of year, there is always something to explore in Karlovy Vary. The spa town and its surroundings offer enough leisure time options for all generations. One stay at the Thermal will not be enough to see them all. That is also one the reasons our guests return again and again. Explore the city, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since July 2021 along with 10 other major European spa towns as Great Spa Towns of Europe.

History
A festival palace that will stand out even on the international level. That was the requirement for the design of the Thermal Hotel. In an architectural competition, the design by Mr. and Mrs. Machonin, combining elements of Brutalism and international style, was chosen. The entire complex, comprising of a film festival centre, an international hotel and a thermal spa, was built between 1968 and 1977, with the architects overseeing each detail of the construction process in person.
The truly unique and remarkable building became a landmark of Karlovy Vary. Have a look at its history.
KVIFF
Only 51 years after the invention of the cinematograph by the Lumièr brothers, Czechoslovakia hosted one of the first competition film festivals in the world. Nowadays, it is an A-list film festival, the most prestigious category in the world, just like those in Cannes, Berlin and Venice.
The Thermal Hotel is inseparably connected with the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival since its opening in 1977 when it became the festival’s central venue. Such stars as Leonardo DiCaprio, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Richard Gere and Scarlett Johansson have walked down the red carpet here. You can experience the unique atmosphere of the festival yourself every year.
