Around the world, spa memberships are becoming increasingly popular among people committed to proactive health solutions, especially in an era of lifestyle  burnout and chronic pain. These memberships offer consistent access to wellness services, making it easier to prioritize self-care amidst busy schedules. They are especially valuable for those seeking stress relief, pain management or simply a dedicated space for relaxation.

The trend is slowly catching on here, but there are still few places in the Czech capital where you can get a spa subscription.

NH Collection Prague Carlo IV has set a high bar. The Nové Město hotel allows you to concentrate on your personal well-being needs under one roof with an exclusive membership to its intimate Carlo IV Wellness & Spa center.

In addition to a fully equipped cardiovascular fitness studio, this quiet sanctuary in central Prague also includes a lovely 20-meter heated pool with two whirlpools, a wood-beamed sauna, and a steam room. Guests can pair their workout with a full-body massage or other anti-stress treatment to relax, rejuvenate, and recharge.

In recent years, we’ve seen a growing trend in people prioritizing both physical and mental well-being, and spa memberships offer a holistic approach to self-care,” says Lenka Hník Jurášková, spokesperson for NH Collection Prague Carlo IV.   

“At Carlo IV Wellness & Spa, our members are individuals who appreciate elegance and regular self-care, often coming to us to unwind, recharge, and maintain a balanced lifestyle. While some of our local clientele do visit for health-related reasons, such as stress relief or recovery, many simply want to improve their overall well-being in a tranquil environment. With amenities like our state-of-the-art gym, 20-meter heated pool, steam, and sauna, we provide a space where both physical fitness and mental relaxation are seamlessly integrated.”

It’s never too late to start investing in yourself. A membership to NH Collection’s Carlo IV Wellness & Spa, which will make you feel at home the moment you arrive, with a reception offering you a pair of cozy slippers at the door, is truly one of the best deals in the city. 

The spot, located in the belly of a historic neo-renaissance palace a few blocks from Wenceslas Square, combines the services of a full-scale gym (minus the suffocating crowds) with the added perks of a premium spa facility. 

We take a closer look at how regular Wellness & Spa visits can benefit your physical and mental health while leaving you pampered and recharged.     

Effective cardio workouts in a calm, serene setting

Cardiovascular activity will not only help keep you in top physical shape, but it is a powerful mood-booster and typically one of the first things people turn to when setting up a regular exercise regime. Carlo IV’s modern, sleekly designed fitness studio has a diverse range of amenities to support your wellness journey. From a variety of weights for muscle strengthening to top-of-the-line treadmills and stationary bicycles to get hearts pumping, the studio is tailored to meet a variety of fitness aspirations. 

Leisurely swims to ease chronic joint pain and stiffness

Carlo IV’s 20-meter heated pool stretches out serenely under a vaulted ceiling, presenting an oasis of calm nestled in a tranquil environment. It’s the perfect setting for leisurely swims. Relax further in one of the adjoining whirlpools that will give you a gentle massage after your swim. Spending time in a temperature-controlled pool is a low-impact exercise that can be particularly beneficial for those who suffer from joint pain and stiffness. Regular swimming has also been linked to elevated lung capacity, making it a good addition to your weekly exercise routine.

Revitalize your body and soul with a sauna or steam session (or both!)

Press your reset button in Carlo IV’s sauna or steam room. Let your stress evaporate as you indulge in the restorative benefits of a sauna session, where the gentle heat promotes detoxification, enhances circulation, and allows you to unwind.

In fact, regular sauna use has been linked to greater longevity and improved cardiovascular health, and enthusiasts cite a long list of desirable health outcomes from frequent use, including clearer skin, a boosted immune system, and improved respiratory health. The center’s steam room is also a good place to rejuvenate your senses, release toxins, and ease daily tensions.     

Pamper yourself at one of Prague’s most exclusive spas

The Carlo IV Wellness & Spa Center offers numerous immunity-boosting treatments. Choose from various massages, facials, and other unique spa packages. Body rituals – customized solutions for better sleep, effective slimming, and overall vitality – combine ancient wisdom with modern techniques to offer the ultimate rejuvenation experience.

A spa treatment is the perfect way to end an afternoon workout in the fitness studio or an early evening swim. Unwind in the center’s understated elegance with a skilled therapist specializing in different techniques that will be sure to quiet your mind and relax your body and soul.   

Spa membership – supporting your personal journey

You can choose between one-, three-, six- and 12-month Spa & Wellness membership packages. Members enjoy unlimited entry to Carlo IV’s tranquil sauna, steam room, swimming pool, and fitness studio, plus discounted spa treatments, vouchers for the hotel’s 1890 Restaurant & Bar, and other exceptional perks.
