Parkhotel Kurhaus

COMFORT

Parkhotel Kurhaus is nestled in the spa park on the Nahe Island. This elegant and traditional hotel (established in 1913) is flanked by the Crucenia thermal baths and the Bäderhaus. Just a short walk away, you'll find the historic old town with its cosy wine taverns.

With 9 graduation towers, Bad Kreuznach in the Salinental is considered the largest open-air inhalatorium in Europe. The town enjoys a favourable climate in the romantic Nahe Valley. Recognised as a state spa since 1817, it is valued for its salt-rich mineral springs. The Romans and Celts already used the healing properties of the thermal waters. This quaint spa town has much to offer: a relaxed pedestrian zone, small shops, cafes, and restaurants. The state capital, Mainz, is about 25 miles away. Bad Kreuznach is an ideal starting point for excursions to the Rhine Valley, the Palatinate, and the Hunsrück.

The "Park Restaurant" with its terrace overlooking the therapy park serves regional and international cuisine. With half board, enjoy a three-course dinner or buffet in the evening. Dinner as part of the half board is served daily from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and à la carte until 9:30 p.m. Additionally, the hotel features a bar.

In the basement of the hotel, there is a sauna.

Enjoy a thermal escape in the curcenia thermal baths (8 a.m. - 9 p.m., direct access from the hotel via a bathrobe corridor). The three indoor and outdoor pools (approx. 33°C) are fed by a brine source (salt and mineral-rich) and are filled with mineral-rich healing water with a mild salt concentration of 1.5%. The mild salt concentration strengthens the body and the salty air is ideal for the treatment of lung, bronchial, and heart diseases. Additionally, a large freshwater pool and relaxation areas both indoors and outdoors are available. Regular aqua aerobics classes are also held.

Exceptional luxury is offered by the Bäderhaus (approx. 4,000 sqm), one of the most beautiful sauna and wellness landscapes in Germany, right next to the hotel. A day pass can be purchased at the reception for about €36.50 (£32 / USD $39) (3-hour rate €28 (£25 / USD $30)), with a guest card you receive a 10% discount. The Bäderhaus features brine pools, a large pool with a waterfall, an ice grotto, 11 saunas and steam baths, a hammam, a Moorish and Sheherazade bath. Additionally, there is a sauna alm, an outdoor pool, and a mill wheel shower on the rooftop terrace. In the beauty salon of the Bäderhaus, you will find a wide range of wellness services including facial and body treatments as well as Ayurvedic massages. Products from Dr. Payot are primarily used.

The brine sourced from Bad Kreuznach's Salinental, derived from 9 m high graduation towers stretching 1.1 km, is piped from a depth of 500 m to the towers. The salts, absorbed by the air and inhaled in tiny water droplets, have a positive effect on the body, stimulating the self-cleansing process and boosting the immune system. The brine spray facility near the Parkhotel Kurhaus contains valuable mineral salts that alleviate circulatory and skin issues upon inhalation.

Hiking strengthens the cardiovascular system and fortifies muscles and joints. Above all, it relaxes and rejuvenates. The Nahetal hiking region, with its expansive hills, forests, vineyards, and meadows, is directly accessible from the spa park - right from the hotel. Around Bad Kreuznach alone, an 80 km network of circular hiking trails awaits you!

For over a century, Bad Kreuznach has offered pain therapy with radon in the Sanitätsrat Dr. Jöckel mine, a disused mercury mine. The air in the radon mine contains the radioactive gas radon in low concentrations - harmless with proper medical prescription. It originates from the metal radium contained in the porphyry rock of the mountain massif. Since 1912, inhalation therapy has been used primarily as pain therapy for rheumatic diseases.
