Central is a classic on one of the main squares in Karlovy Vary. The hotel includes the historic art nouveau part, as well as a modern wing with most of the spa facilities. We were in a room in the older wing, and the view from our window was beautiful. Parking is available on-site, which is a rare commodity in the city, but large vehicles may not fit. The breakfast is excellent; even our picky 2 year old had multiple options. A crib was in our room on arrival without us having to double-check. Wi-fi was reliable throughout. English, Russian, and German seem to be spoken by most personnel (in addition to Czech, of course). We were there over Christmas, and the stay was appropriately seasonal, with many options to make travelers feel at home. The traditional Czech carp was available in the restaurant in addition to more international options. Our child loved a certain small mechanical, dancing and singing Santa Claus in the lobby, and would dance along with it. We are not sure why it sang in French ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
