Villa Carlton

Villa Carlton, Baroque Revival villa in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

Villa Carlton is a four-storey detached building at Petra Velikého 1014/10 in the Westend district of Karlovy Vary, built on a roughly rectangular plan. Its original design follows neo-Baroque principles, with numerous bay windows, tower-like projections and loggias. It was built as a sanatorium, with doctors' offices and an operating theatre in the raised ground floor.

In 1893 builder Josef Waldert bought the retired Schweizertall hotel and planned a new hotel with two villas, including this one, first called Kensington. Construction ran from 1895, with a cast-iron veranda designed by Gustav Göttl added later. The raised ground floor held doctors' offices and an operating theatre, and by 1897 it served spa guests. Renamed Carlton in 1924, it was nationalised after 1945 and from 1950 housed a branch of Prague's First Children's Clinic.

The villa was originally called Kennsington, or Kensington, and only took the name Carlton in 1924. From 1950, on the initiative of paediatrician Josef Švejcar, it housed a branch of Prague's First Children's Clinic. Today it is part of the Savoy Westend hotel resort.

Villa Carlton stands at Petra Velikého 1014/10 in the Westend quarter, north of the centre in the spa zone. The street climbs the hillside, so allow time for the gradient on foot. The villa is part of the Savoy Westend resort, and its entrance is reached from the street side.

The villa was built as a sanatorium: its raised ground floor held doctors' consulting rooms and an operating theatre, and it welcomed spa guests from 1897. From 1 January 1950 it housed a branch of Prague's First Children's Clinic, opened on the initiative of the paediatrician Professor Josef Švejcar.
