Lázeňský dům Bedřicha Smetany, Art Nouveau spa house in Luhačovice, Czech Republic

The Lázeňský dům Bedřicha Smetany is a four-storey spa hotel on Lázeňské náměstí in Luhačovice, built in 1908–1910 to Emil Králík's Art Nouveau design with Cubist elements. It has a rectangular plan and a symmetrical, articulated east façade. Only the central wing of a planned three-part complex was built by Josef Schaniak. In front stands Jan Kavan's Brussels Fountain, shown in the Czechoslovak pavilion at Expo 58.

The building was designed by architect Emil Králík and completed in 1910 as Luhačovice expanded its thermal resort infrastructure. It arrived during a period when Czech spa towns gained international reputation and offered modern comforts to wealthy travelers.

The house is named after Bedřich Smetana at the initiative of Marie Calmy Veselá, wife of the spa director. It opened on 1 August 1909, the 25th anniversary of the composer's death, though interior decoration continued into the following year. In the entrance hall stands a bust of Smetana by sculptor V. Mašek, donated by patron Osvald Životský and unveiled by the composer's granddaughter Daniela Heydušková.

The building is accessible throughout the year and its architectural details can be viewed from the exterior as well as in selected interior spaces. It is advisable to check in advance if you plan to explore areas beyond the common halls, as some sections may have limited opening hours.

The hotel's name honours Bedřich Smetana at the suggestion of Marie Calmy Veselá, wife of the spa director; it opened on 1 August 1909, the 25th anniversary of the composer's death, though interior decoration continued into the following year.
