Grandhotel Pupp

Grandhotel Pupp
Czech republic, Karlovy Vary
Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary is the most popular and famous hotel complex located in the city center, next to the waterfront. This hotel hosts the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival every year.

The Grandhotel was built in 1701 by Mayor Deiml and was then called Saxon Hall. Mayor Becher later built Lusthouse on a piece of land he owned, forming the right wing of Sankson Hall. Together, this complex of buildings became known as Bohemia Hall. The confectioner Jan Giry Pop (the German pronunciation of the surname Pupp) arrived in Karlsbad (the old name for Karlovy Vary) in 1760 to work for the local confectioner Mitterbach. The widow of the former mayor of Becher sold one-third of the property in Bohemia Hall to Mitterbach's daughter, who married Pupp in 1775. Over the next year, she bought out the remaining third, and thus the hotel was completely taken over by the Pupp family. And in the same period, the confectioner began to use the German pronunciation of his surname, which became the name of the hotel.
After the Saxony Hall was completely in the hands of Pupp, the Venetian architects Fellner and Helmer were invited to rebuild all the buildings of the complex into a single neo-baroque complex, which became the Grandhotel Pupp. Until the Second World War, the family owned the hotel and continued to buy houses located in the neighborhood, expanding their holdings and trying to attach them to the hotel.

After the end of the war, the communist government of Czechoslovakia nationalized the hotel and renamed it Grandhotel Moskva in 1950. The original name was returned to the hotel in 1989 after its privatization.
