The Best Hotels Near Renoir, by the Record

The chandeliers in the dining room are not decorating the space so much as overwhelming it, which sets the tone for a stay at this grand old Czech spa hotel. Karlovy Vary's mineral waters are the official reason to come, but the Pupp itself, baroque and slightly idiosyncratic, is the real draw. The spa leans atmospheric rather than clinical, the casino is an Eastern European classic, and nothing about it feels like a modern luxury operation. That is entirely the point.

A converted manor house and barn on a sprawling Thuringian estate, with rooms done in rustic beams, four-poster beds, and antique furniture that took centuries to accumulate. The Freyraum Suite adds a fireplace, Finnish sauna, and private pool if you feel like going full landed gentry. Countryside views from every room, and the tavern restaurant pulls people in by the fire in winter for classic local cooking.

Marienbad, as Antonioni fans will insist on calling it, has been drawing people to its thermal waters for as long as anyone can remember. This luxury hotel stitches together several historic Art Deco buildings with modern additions, filling the result with contemporary art and keeping the rooms deliberately calm. The Pürovel Spa is the main event for most guests, and the restaurants and bars handle the rest of the unwinding.
