After our grand opening in 1912, the Art Nouveau hotel Thermia Palace and Irma Health Spa became world-famous and some of the most sought-after spa facilities not only in Europe but the whole world. After a complete reconstruction in 2006 the hotel became the first five-star hotel in Slovakia.

In choosing an emblem for this hotel, Ľudovít Winter was inspired by a magical story about a peacock which was healed by the water from Piešťany springs. Mr. Winter therefore chose one of these magnificent birds to become the symbol of Thermia Palace. There is a relief of a peacock on the front façade of the hotel and on the stained glass on the upper floor.

Thermia Palace attracted many kings, sheiks, maharajahs, and other important people. Among its guests you could find Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand, German singer Richard Tauber, Nobel prize winner for literature Selma Lagerlöf, painter Alphons Mucha, Czech comedian Vlasta Burian or president Edvard Beneš.
The most outstanding elements of the richly-decorated interior are the beautiful stained glass staircase and the Grand Restaurant with an invaluable painting by Alphonse Mucha, who donated the picture as a gift for curing his daughter

The 5-star Thermia Palace spa hotel is nestled within the wonderful ambience of the Spa Island of Piestany, offering a historic atmosphere and up-to-date facilities like the Irma Health Spa.

While restoring this Art Nouveau building to its former glory much of the interior was preserved, including the weighty crystal chandeliers, painted stucco decoration and window panes.

The Palace offers 111 luxurious, air-conditioned rooms - including 15 suites - equipped with many modern amenities. Wired internet is available in the hotel rooms free of charge. Hotel is set in a historical building and appearance of each room is unique. Rooms can have either a balcony, a terrace, a french window or an attic window.

There are several catering facilities on site. The Grand Restaurant, Café Alexander with a summer terrace with a view of the park and the Salon Hubertus where you can meet your friends for a game of chess, bridge or some other board game.
