Parkhotel Richmond

Parkhotel Richmond is a historic spa hotel located in the Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad). It stands on the right bank of the Teplá River, within the spa park on the edge of the town, surrounded by an English-style park once known as "Schönbrunn" and a Japanese-style meditation garden. The hotel is adjacent to today's Beethoven Park, which contains a spa pavilion with its own spring, Štěpánka, at a temperature of about 15°C. According to its official website, the hotel boasts a history of more than 195 years. The property began as Café Park Schönbrunn, established by Weingruber in the 1850s. In 1911 it hosted a joint exhibition by Oskar Kokoschka in Karlovy Vary, organized by Walter Serner. The building was later elevated in classical style and renamed Richmond Park Hotel, and it now operates as Parkhotel Richmond. Its owner and operator was the Jewish hotelier and owner of the Hotel Atlantik, Alois Klein, who was among the prominent figures of Karlovy Vary public life. Today the hotel offers comfortable accommodation in quiet, spacious rooms amid greenery, a wellness centre with pool, and therapeutic stays (léčebné pobyty) using its own spring. Room categories include Superior Apartments, Standard Apartments, Junior Apartments, and Double Lux rooms, some with shared terraces or balconies overlooking the park or the forest. The hotel markets advantageous wellness packages and positions itself as a peaceful spa retreat near the town centre.

The property that became Parkhotel Richmond traces its origins to Café Park Schönbrunn, established by Weingruber in the 1850s. The café was a social and cultural venue in the spa town of Karlovy Vary. In 1911 it hosted a joint exhibition by the artist Oskar Kokoschka, organized by Walter Serner, an event that places the building within the town's early twentieth-century cultural life. The building was subsequently elevated in classical style and renamed Richmond Park Hotel. It continued to operate as a hotel and is today known as Parkhotel Richmond. Its owner and operator was the Jewish hotelier Alois Klein, who also owned the Hotel Atlantik and was counted among the eminent figures of Karlovy Vary public life. According to the hotel's official website, the hotel's history spans more than 195 years, and it is situated in a quiet part of Karlovy Vary on the bank of the Teplá River, surrounded by a stylish English park. Within that park are an original Japanese meditation garden and a beautiful pavilion with its own spring named Štěpánka. The hotel is adjacent to today's Beethoven Park, where the spa pavilion with the Štěpánka spring (about 15°C) is located. In its present form the hotel operates as a spa and wellness property, offering comfortable rooms, a pool and wellness centre, and therapeutic stays based on its own spring. It markets wellness packages and presents itself as a quiet retreat amid greenery close to the town centre.
