The City of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic will be revitalising its historic Elizabeth Baths Spa Complex, originally opened in 1906.
The facility is currently in operation, but the city is looking for someone to renovate and operate the spa complex and also build and run accommodations at the complex, which is located in the city centre.
Elizabeth Baths offers a range of 60 traditional and modern spa treatments, and utilises local mineral waters. Facilities include a swimming pool, relax pool, whirlpool, sauna, steamroom, salt chamber and wading pool.
Treatments include herbal extract baths, Indian head massage, aromatherapy, oxygen therapy, infrared sauna, purifying enemas, dry carbon dioxide bag, cryotherapy, cupping massage, underwater massage, and more.
The spa complex also includes a team of five medical doctors, with specialisations from gynaecology to plastic surgery.
The spa claims to attract 100,000 customers a year, especially those suffering from digestive system disorders, metabolic disorders and neurological diseases.
The city is looking for companies that are interested in both renovating the facility and adding accommodation of between 50 to 100 bedrooms, as well as operating the facilities. The City of Karlovy Vary will contribute approximately €11.1m (US$12.4m, £8.7m) to the renovations, and will be open to discussions about service improvements and adding or removing facilities, officials said.
