Embassy House, Cultural monument in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

Embassy House, originally Fürst Reuß-Greiz, stands at Nová louka 296/21 in Karlovy Vary's spa zone. It is a two-story row house with a residential attic in classicist and historicist style, its six-axis facade topped by a balustraded attic. The ground floor has a wide rectangular entrance with neo-Renaissance wooden double doors, and a narrow deep courtyard is ringed by arcades.

Two classicist houses once stood on this site; in the 1850s, under owner Anton Pitroff, courtyard wings with an arcaded walkway were added. The front facade was reshaped in the early 20th century, and a major adaptation followed in 1936 according to plans by builder Paul Schauffus. The house has been a protected cultural monument since 26 April 1991.

The ground-floor wine bar, Vinárna Embassy, is among the oldest in Karlovy Vary. During the 1936 adaptation by architect Mewes it gained themed salons — the Dragon, Falcon, Hunting and Dutch rooms — decorated with mythological motifs in Heimatstil, with stucco work by Heinrich Kempf of Tuhnice.

The house stands at Nová louka 296/21 in the spa zone, next to the Karlovy Vary museum and the Rich house. It is a private family hotel with a wine bar on the ground floor, so visits are limited to guests and bar patrons; the arcaded inner courtyard and the 1936 salon interiors are not open to general sightseeing.

The house's original name, Fürst Reuß-Greiz, honoured a German princely line; its present name comes from the wine bar in the ground floor, one of the oldest in Karlovy Vary. The bar rooms were fitted out in 1936 with Heimatstil mythological decor: a Dragon salon, Falcon room, Hunting salon and Dutch salon.
