Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Koliba

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This hunting-style lodge is a perfect choice if you're here for just a day or two, puttering around town without an interest in lavish spa treatments. The hotel is situated above and behind the main spa area, about a 15-minute walk from town. The exceptionally cute, clean, rustic rooms and the over-the-top friendliness of the staff are a literal breath of fresh air compared with some of Mariánské Lázně's stuffier hotels. The highly stylized romantic restaurant has the best Czech food in the area.
