Lázně V, Neo-baroque spa building in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.
Elisabethbad is a neo-baroque spa facility in Karlovy Vary with multiple floors housing bathing areas, treatment rooms, and medical therapy spaces. The ornate architecture encloses these various functions within a single coordinated complex for guests.
The building was designed and constructed between 1905 and 1906 by architect Franz Drobny. This construction period coincided with the golden age of European spa culture, when facilities like this became centers of wellness and health.
The building is named after Empress Elisabeth of Austria and reflects the historic connection between the city's spa tradition and European nobility. You can still see the elegant Belle-Époque design elements that bring this era of wellness culture to life.
Visitors can book treatments during various hours throughout the week, with extended opening times on weekdays compared to weekends. Contacting the facility directly before your visit helps clarify availability and arrange appointments.
The facility draws from a substantial portion of the mineral water springs flowing beneath the city, making it one of the largest consumers of the local thermal resources. This reliance on the springs demonstrates how closely the spa is tied to the geological features that define the area.
