This historical health resort within the most beautiful part of the Czech Republic lies in the charming valley of the river Teplá, where the river Ohre joins the river Teplá. The picturesque old town, with its gorgeous and rich buildings in gold, white and soft pastel shades along the riverside, nestles amongst gentle wooded hills. The prosperity of the town is due to 14 thermal springs, whose healing effect was known already in the middle ages.

Even nowadays, the soothing water is bottled and shipped to destinations all over the world. The character of the health resort is determined by the famous White Colonnades and by the strolling visitors relishing the hot bubbling water from china cups specially crafted in this region. Once you've been here, you will come back again.

Quite a number of famous 'repeat offenders' realized this and left their marks, which can be found throughout the town. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Emperor Karl VI., Czar Peter the Great, Johann Gottfried Herder, Friedrich Schiller, Karl Marx, Franz Liszt, Sigmund Freud, Theodor Fontane, Antonin Dvorak, Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner, Edvard Grieg, Morgan Freeman, Madeleine Albright and Michael Douglas are only a few.

A lot of those celebrities established a second home here, and their magnificent mansions can still be admired. As did Alexander von Humboldt, who build a splendid residence on a slope right next to the gentle murmuring Teplá river. The generously designed Villa in classical style was built in 1872 and carefully rebuilt and restored in 2006, preserving its historical charm, and turned into a luxurious 4 Star Superior Hotel – the Humboldt Park Hotel & Spa.

Every room has its individual and unique style. Following their historical model, the use of precious materials, such as heavy fabrics, fine woods and carpets unite to highest luxury. Every room is decorated with paintings and extravagant Trompe-l'oeil paintings. Several rooms have a balcony with a view over the Teplá river and the pictu-resque old town to the right hand side. All rooms are, of course, equipped with the highest technical standards, such as flat- screen TV's, wireless LAN and high-speed internet connections.

The town of Carlsbad lies only a few kilometres behind the German/ Czech border and can easily be reached by car. The local airport provides direct connections to and from Prague and Moscow. A hotel shuttle and luggage-service to the airport by the hotel, as well as a garage are available upon request.
