Karlovy Vary is one of the most beautiful spa towns in Europe. Elegant colonnades, historic pastel-colored houses, mineral springs, and the unique atmosphere of an ancient spa town attract visitors from all over the world every year.

Our Hotel Zlatý Sloup is located in the very center of Karlovy Vary, in one of the most prestigious and historically significant parts of the city. Just a few steps from the hotel stands the legendary Grandhotel Pupp, which is a symbol of Karlovy Vary and the venue for many cultural events, including the famous film festival.

Exceptional location – without hills and inclines

One of the biggest advantages of our hotel is its flat location.

Many hotels in Karlovy Vary are located on the slopes of the surrounding hills, where it is necessary to climb steep streets or stairs. However, Hotel Zlatý Sloup is located on a flat street, which brings maximum comfort to guests.

 

 

This makes everything easily accessible:

spa colonnades and springs are within a short walking distance,

the route is without hills and challenging climbs,

restaurants, cafes and shops are located near the hotel,

the main sights of the city are literally a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.

This location is very convenient especially for guests who come for a spa stay or want to explore the city with a leisurely walk.

The most famous sights right by the hotel

In the immediate vicinity of the hotel are some of the most famous symbols of Karlovy Vary.

Diana Observation Tower and Funicular

One of the most visited attractions in the city is the Diana Observation Tower, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the entire spa town and the surrounding forests.

You can comfortably reach the top by the historic Diana Funicular, which departs just a few steps from our hotel. The funicular ride is short, pleasant and offers beautiful views of the city and the spa landscape.

Fairy-tale Spa Forest

Karlovy Vary is surrounded by an extensive spa forest, which starts practically at the foot of the hill above our hotel.

This area is ideal for:

peaceful walks in nature,

romantic views of the city,

hiking and relaxation in the fresh air.

Forest paths and viewpoints create an atmosphere of an almost fairy-tale place, which is typical for Karlovy Vary.

Charles IV Lookout

Another important historical monument is the Charles IV Lookout, named after Emperor Charles IV, the founder of the city of Karlovy Vary.

From this viewpoint, one of the most beautiful views of the historic center, colonnades and the Teplá river valley opens up. It is a place from which one can best understand the charm and history of this famous spa town.

The true atmosphere of Karlovy Vary

A stay at the Zlatý Sloup Hotel means more than just accommodation. It offers the opportunity to experience the true atmosphere of Karlovy Vary:

morning walks along the colonnades,

sitting in cafes overlooking the historic houses,

evening walks through the illuminated spa center,

quiet moments in the spa forests above the city.

Everything is within reach here – history, nature, culture and relaxation.
