Danubius Magazin brought a large group of journalists to Danubius
Hotels' new acquisitions in the Czech Republic. Right from the
start, all visitors to Marienbad feel as if they have travelled
back in time: walking in the wonderful parks, along the boulevard
of magnificent buildings, and listening to the splash of fountains,
visitors feel they are back in the golden peaceful years of a holiday
resort at the of the last century. The interiors and facades of
most residential buildings and beautiful hotels have maintained
a unique character reminding us of those palmy days of peace, while
they provide all the comforts of our moidern era as well.
The recently renovated baths and adjoining hotel building - both belonging to
Danubius Hotels - stand as proof of this harmony between preserved traditions
and modernisation. Those seeking convalescence and recreation can use a wide
range of modern therapeutic equipment, as well as the healing chamber - maintained
in its original condition - used by King Edward VII of England.
The town and its neighbourhood offer innumerable opportunities for recreation.
The championship golf courses are internationally renowned, and the undulating
hilly landscape is perfect for walking and cycling.
The whole region has many sights to see, such as the Premonstratensian monastery
in Tepla, and Kynzvart Chateau, which was the family resort of the Metternichs.
The renovated stately halls inside the building boast a rare and rich collection.
Frantiskovy Lazné and Karlovy Vary are two other towns in the neighbourhood
that have justly become famous for their spas.
Marienbad offers an abundance of cultural activities in all seasons, and its
two casinos guarantee additional entertainment.
The pleasures we tasted during this short stay simply confirmed our belief that
everyone leaves Marienbad with the firm intent of returning.
