Francis Palace Hotel

Francis Palace Hotel stands in the heart of Františkovy Lázně, the youngest and most intimate of the three UNESCO-listed West Bohemian Spa Towns. The town's Empire-style colonnades and mineral spring pavilions — including the iconic Františkův pramen — line the Spa Park (Městský park) just steps from the hotel. Goethe visited twice, in 1808 and 1812, and the curative iron-rich, Glauber-salt and carbonic mineral waters have made Františkovy Lázně Europe's most celebrated destination for gynaecological treatment. Francis Palace offers indoor and outdoor pools, a full-service spa with sauna, steam room, hot tub and massage rooms, plus a fitness centre. Guests enjoy free breakfast, a restaurant, a garden and terrace with pool loungers, and bicycle rentals to explore the surrounding spa landscape. Cheb's medieval centre is 6 km away; Karlovy Vary 35 km.
