Orea Spa Hotel Palace Zvon Mariánské Lázně

We spent two nights at the Zvon hotel in the quaint Czech spa town of Marianske Lazne. The hotel itself was located at the top of the town near to the famous musical fountain and to the colonnade, but is some way uphill from the train station. Fortunately the number 7 trolley bus takes you all the way. (They charged extra for luggage on the bus by the way.) The hotel had a feeling of recent renovation following a period of decline (like Marianske Lazne itself, I guess). Our room was large with a balcony but had sparse furnishings and was decorated in a dull brown colour. The breakfast was good with a wide choice, buffet style as is the norm nowadays. Our deal (booked directly with the hotel) was half board. We had a choice of a buffet supper at the hotel or a multi-course "a la carte" menu taken at the Palace Hotel next door (internally connected to our hotel). We chose the latter and it was definitely a good choice. The food and service were excellent. My partner used the spa facilities in the basement of the hotel, which included a small swimming pool and a swathe of modern treatment rooms, professionally run. One point for anglophone tourists. English is not so widely spoken in this part of Bohemia, so be prepared to try out those few words of German (or Czech?) you learned at school 😁

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in late September, ‘22. It was convenient and comfortable. The Palace is one of the Orea group of hotels, of which there about five in Marianske. It is in a very good location, at the upper end of Promenade Park, about in line with the Singing Fountain and the landmark spa pavilion. The Central Parking structure is just around the corner, and there are many shops and restaurants nearby. I think the Palace and the Zvon were at one time two separate hotels and now have a connecting lobby. Meals are served in the Zvon dining room, and that is also where we checked in. An extensive array of spa facilities is available in the basement level of the Palace. Our room (408) was attractive and comfortable. Our view was of the mountainside rather than the park, but was still quite pleasant. It was a good-sized room but there wasn’t much room for luggage other than one rack. The decor was cute turn-of-the-century style. There was a comfortable king bed, a dresser & desk, a cabinet with a small refrigerator, a round table with two arm chairs at the foot of the bed – nicely appointed but a little crowded. There were two night stands but no outlets, and a good-sized closet in the entry hallway with a safe. The attractive marble tiled bathroom had a tub/shower combination, and a heated towel rack, a nice feature. There was very little counter space, however. Our room rate came with half-board. The meals were served buffet-style in the large restaurant of the Zvon. Open seating meant it became somewhat crowded at times, with overflow seating in the adjacent Palace lounge area. The breakfast selection was quite good. Dinner was rather standard fare and didn’t seem to vary the two nights we ate there. There are several highly rated restaurants nearby. Overall, the Orea Palace Zvon is a comfortable and well located spa hotel and would be a good choice for Marianske Lazne.

We had a great experience at the hotel. It is located in great place just few steps from the main Park and Kolonade. Hotel room was very spacious with stylish furniture and really nice and clean. We were travelling with kids and they loved it there. The staff was very friendly, helpful and patient with us and our kids. I would deifinitely recommend this hotel. Thank you!!!

We visited hotel with 2 little kids and it was amazing experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had very specious family room with a cot for our infant. The hotel is situated in the town centre close to all attractions. I would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Das Hotel ist wunderschön und liegt sehr günstig! Wir sind sehr spät angekommen und wurden telefonisch vorab gut beraten betr. Abendessen etc. Vor der Weiterreise konnten wir bequem zu Fuß einiges erkunden und sind sehr zufrieden abgereist.

Man weiß gar nicht genau, in welchem Hotel man nun ist: Da sind mehrere zusammengebaut, in einem checkt man ein, im anderen ist der Fahrstuhl, im dritten der Zugang zum Frühstück. Gar nicht unklug, in Corona-Zeiten Personal so zu sparen. Die kaufkräftigen Russen können nicht mehr kommen, einige haben als Langzeit-Mieter wohl noch ausgehalten, aber ansonsten überwiegen Deutsche und neuerdings Israelis mit durchschnittlichem Geldbeutel. Das Hotel (der "Komplex") ist gut gepflegt, die Zimmer in Ordnung, die Bäder etwas old fashioned; der Frühstücksraum hat den Charme einer Jugendherberge der 60er Jahre, aber das Angebot ist gar nicht übel. Der Pool ist lächerlich klein.
