About this place

Sip the hot mineral water from a porcelain spouted cup as you promenade — it tastes medicinal, which is rather the point — then book a proper treatment at the Alžbětiny Lázně baths. Stay at the Grandhotel Pupp, an inspiration for Wes Anderson, and come in autumn when the wooded hills turn copper.
