Getting there
- Address: Mariánskolázeňská 2, 360 01 Karlovy Vary
- Transport
- On foot from the spa centre of Karlovy Vary, next to the Grandhotel Pupp. Karlovy Vary is about 2 hours by bus from Prague.
- Access
- The Imperial Spa has reopened after its restoration: you can go inside on a one-hour guided tour of the old waiting rooms and the Zander Hall (open every day, 10:00 to 18:00). The poker room from the film was a studio set in Prague, so it isn't here. Check tour times before you go.
