ABOUT THE HOTEL

Renowned hotel in Karlovy Vary

Grandhotel Pupp continues the tradition of the Czech and Saxon Halls, the first social and accommodation facilities in Karlovy Vary. For more than three centuries, it has been a place of meeting and entertainment and a synonym for first-class gastronomy and services.
See for yourself as well as the hundreds of important guests who jointly formed the history of the hotel. A history that is a commitment for us that we honor and respect.
