Picture an evening in the vaulted cellars beneath a four-star hotel, sinking into a sparkling beer bath while chromotherapy light fills the room with colour – and a chilled glass of beer from the oldest operating brewery in Moravia sits within arm's reach. Beer spa Černá Hora at Hotel Sladovna is where centuries of brewing tradition meet modern wellness: a place where the sauna world, the indoor pool, and the hop-scented tub all sit steps from the very brewery that has been making beer here since 1530.
What to expect at the Černá Hora beer spa
The beer spa at Hotel Sladovna is a carefully composed ritual where the brewing heritage of Černá Hora meets contemporary wellness. The spa occupies the beautiful vaulted cellars of the four-star hotel – and from the moment you descend underground, you enter a different world entirely.
Arrival & welcome
Staff guide you into the calm atmosphere of the vaulted cellars. A towel or sheet is provided on site – just bring swimwear and a willingness to switch off completely.
Sparkling beer bath with chromotherapy
You sink into a warm sparkling tub infused with beer ingredients while soft chromotherapy light bathes the room in colour. The bubbles work every muscle; the scent of hops and malt fills the air; and the rest of the world recedes completely.
Beer ritual & skin treatments
Depending on the package you choose, the bath can be extended with a beer peeling for silky skin, a nourishing beer wrap, or a massage with a hop bag. Each adds another layer of relaxation and treats the skin of the whole body.
Sauna world & pool
After the bath, the expansive sauna world awaits – multiple types of sauna, a Kneipp path, tepidarium, and an indoor pool. Round the day off with a beer from Pivovar Černá Hora in the hotel restaurant or at the Šenk U Prokuristy.
What awaits you at Hotel Sladovna
- Sparkling beer bath in a tub with chromotherapy
- Optional beer peeling, beer wrap, or hop-bag massage
- Towel or sheet included with the treatment
- Expansive sauna world with multiple sauna types
- Indoor pool, tepidarium, and Kneipp path

When should you go?
The Černá Hora beer spa is a great idea all year round. In winter the warmth of the sauna world and the sparkling tub feel especially rewarding after cold weather outside; in spring and autumn you can pair the bath with a trip to the nearby Moravian Karst. Book ahead – weekends fill quickly and demand for wellness stays is high.
Tip: Pair your spa visit with a brewery tour at Pivovar Černá Hora – guided tours with tasting are available just a few steps from the hotel. A morning at the brewery, an afternoon in the beer bath and sauna, and an evening with good food and Černá Hora beer: that is a southern Moravian weekend done right.
Which experience to choose?
Hotel Sladovna offers a range of treatments and stay packages – from a standalone beer bath to a multi-day wellness retreat:
- Relaxation beer bath – the sparkling tub with chromotherapy for one or two. A quick escape from stress without the overnight commitment.
- Beer ritual – the bath extended with a beer wrap and a hop-bag massage. Full indulgence for body and mind.
- Wellness & beer-bath stay for two – the most popular choice. Accommodation in the four-star hotel, unlimited access to the sauna world, and a beer bath. The perfect romantic weekend at the brewery.
Health benefits of a beer bath
A beer bath is not just a pleasurable experience – it carries real, documented benefits thanks to the natural compounds in beer. The combination of hops, yeast, and barley malt acts on body and mind in ways that even non-beer-drinkers appreciate.
Boosts circulation
The warm sparkling water activates the heart and drives blood flow throughout the entire body.
Strengthens immunity
B-group vitamins from brewer's yeast support the immune system – absorbed directly through the skin.
Soothes skin
Hop acids have bacteriostatic properties – and a beer peeling adds a gentle exfoliation that leaves skin noticeably smoother.
Melts away stress
Hops are a natural sedative – they calm the nervous system and bring the kind of deep rest that is hard to reach any other way.
Rejuvenates skin
Enzymes and minerals in the bathwater detoxify the body and leave your skin softer after just one session.
Relieves aches
Compounds in hops act as a natural analgesic – easing joint and muscle pain so you emerge feeling genuinely renewed.

A wellness stay with a beer bath at the four-star Hotel Sladovna, right next to Pivovar Černá Hora. A romantic weekend that will not disappoint.
Why Černá Hora for a beer spa?
Černá Hora and its brewery – a story written across centuries. The first written record of the manor brewery dates to 1530, and Pivovar Černá Hora is today considered the oldest operating brewery in Moravia. This is not just a beer bath – it is a brewing town with a soul, where tradition is felt at every turn.
- Beer spa at Hotel Sladovna **** – wellness in the vaulted cellars of a four-star hotel directly beside the brewery
- Oldest operating brewery in Moravia – first written record from 1530; brewing here goes back even further
- Expansive sauna world and pool – multiple sauna types, Kneipp path, tepidarium, and indoor pool under one roof
- Gateway to the Moravian Karst – around 30 km from Brno, just 10 km from Blansko, with the Punkevní Caves and Macocha Abyss within easy reach
Why you will love it
The vaulted cellar setting made the whole experience feel genuinely special – not like a standard hotel spa. The sparkling beer bath with the chromotherapy was deeply relaxing, and finishing with a cold Černá Hora beer upstairs was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. We stayed two nights and would happily return.
Booked the full beer ritual package – bath, wrap, and hop-bag massage. By the time we reached the sauna world I was completely unwound. Then we did a brewery tour the next morning. If you are in southern Moravia and want a weekend that actually recharges you, this is it.
We paired the beer spa with a morning at Punkevní Caves and the Macocha Abyss – the Moravian Karst is stunning. Then the spa in the afternoon to recover. My skin was noticeably softer for days afterwards. A brilliant combination of nature and wellness in one trip.
The brewing history of Černá Hora
The history of brewing in Černá Hora runs deep into the past. The first written record of the manor brewery dates to 1530, when the Černá Hora estate was owned by the brothers of the Černohorský z Boskovic family. Informal references to brewing in the area go back even further. As a result, Pivovar Černá Hora is recognised as the oldest operating brewery in Moravia.
The brewing tradition survived centuries of change – wars, social upheavals, changing ownership – and Černá Hora gradually became a true brewing town. Beer is still made here today, and the Černá Hora brands are among the best-known in southern Moravia.
The beer spa at Hotel Sladovna opened in 2011 and has drawn guests ever since who want to combine relaxation with brewing culture. The vaulted cellars, the sparkling beer bath with chromotherapy, and the expansive sauna world create an atmosphere that a standard wellness centre simply cannot replicate.

An ideal combination of beer wellness and day trips for a full extended weekend.
