Luhačovice - Jurkovič House

The building was originally called „Jan's House“ and was built in a classicist style in 1822. It was rebuilt by Dušan Jurkovič in 1902. The house was raised by a half-timbered floor and a new roof, and its layout was arranged around two courtyards and a two-story entrance hall.

Dušan Jurkovič, a Slovak architect with an unmistakable style, gave the Jurkovič House a unique character. He was inspired by the folk architecture of the Slovak region, which is reflected in the colorful facade, wooden elements, decorative details and sensitive integration into the surrounding nature.

The building is dominated by the third, half-timbered floor added by Jurkovič, carrying a rich roof configuration. The original plaster with its delicate Art Nouveau plasticity remarkably completes the half-timbering into the form of an upwardly branching Art Nouveau ornament.

Originally built as a spa hostel, the house quickly gained popularity for its cozy atmosphere and original design. Over the years, it has undergone sensitive renovations that respected its historical value while ensuring modern comfort for guests. The function of the building has not changed – it has always been a combination of a bathhouse and accommodation for spa guests.

The general renovation took place in 2000–2002 and the building was transformed into a four-star hotel. The original function of the spa house was preserved and supplemented with a restaurant and a swimming pool. The exterior and interior of the building were restored to their original state as closely as possible based on restoration surveys and period photographs.

Just entering the Jurkovič House is like entering a fairy tale.

The interiors of the house exude harmony and taste. Wooden paneling, hand-painted ornaments, stylish furniture and carefully selected accessories create an unmistakable atmosphere.

Each room and apartment is original, yet all are united by an eye for detail and a commitment to maximum guest comfort. The rooms offer modern amenities while maintaining their historic charm.

Most of the original functional elements of the furniture are preserved in the balneo part – original loungers, mirrors, hangers, seats, chairs, table, benches, flower stands, dressing tables with mirrors, tables with ceramic tops, all designed by Dušan Jurkovič.

The apartments have spacious, stylish terraces overlooking the spa colonnade.

Jurkovič's house features a stylish swimming pool that fits perfectly into the overall concept. Vaulted ceilings, stone elements, and subdued lighting create an oasis of peace and relaxation.
In addition to the pool, the hotel also offers a wellness center with various types of baths, massages, and wraps that contribute to the overall regeneration of body and mind.

The room was restored with original functional sanitary equipment – refurbished „golden“ brass tubs for carbonic baths.

The center of the house is the restaurant, where tradition and modern gastronomy are combined. In a pleasant environment with a view of the garden, guests can enjoy specialties of Czech and international cuisine, prepared from high-quality ingredients.

Next to the restaurant is a small bar, of course in Jurkovič style.

A stay at Jurkovič House is a unique experience that will appeal to lovers of history, architecture, peace and quality services. The combination of unique design, modern comfort, excellent cuisine and easy access to spa treatments guarantees an unforgettable stay.
