"You’d be hard pressed to pass through Mariánské Lázně, recognized in 2021 as one of 11 Great Spa Towns in Europe by UNESCO World Heritage Site, and not be tempted to experience its lauded spa culture. Mineral springs—the town has 100—form the backbone of Nové Lázně, where elite members of society have been going since the early 19th century. The Roman bath area of the hotel spa includes a steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool for an endorphin rush, foot rock pools to comfort weary feet, a whirlpool, and large pools for leisurely swimming and floating. Book a mud wrap or massage and succumb to the spa’s magical aura." - Stacey Lastoe
