In
the film version of Casino Royale James Bond and Vesper stay in Hotel Splendide
in an unidentified town in Montenegro.
While there does turn out to be a Hotel Splendide in Montenegro, it is
a concrete highrise rather than the neo-baroque design of the film. The
real Hotel Splendide is located in Becici, on the edge of the Adriatic.
However, if you're looking to stay at the "Hotel Splendide"
that appears in the film then read on.
The magnificent "Hotel Splendide" is in reality Grandhotel
Pupp, located in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. Karlovy Vary was
formerly known as Karlsbad or Carlsbad and is the largest spa town in the
world.
Grandhotel Pupp is a 111 room 5-star luxury hotel with spa, six restaurants
and bars, conference facilities and, naturally enough, a casino, where you
can play roulette, blackjack and poker. The original building dates back
to the 18th century, but the hotel has been extended several times since
then, all of which are in keeping with the original architecture.
Prices start at around €270 (per night for 2 people sharing a double
room with breakfast), or you can choose to stay in the slightly cheaper
Parkhotel
Pupp (4-star) at the same address.
