Imagine stepping into a building that has stood for over five hundred years – and sinking into a solid oak-and-larch tub filled with warm, fragrant beer, while the foothills of the Orlické hory mountains rise beyond the windows. Beer Spa Kostelec nad Orlicí at the historic Hotel Panský dům offers a beer bath experience unlike anything you will find in a modern wellness centre: live brewer's yeast, a herb blend, unlimited cold beer from the tap, and the quiet dignity of a house that history itself seems to have chosen. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or treat someone to a gift they will never forget – east Bohemia is waiting.
What to expect at Beer Spa Kostelec nad Orlicí
The beer bath at Hotel Panský dům is a carefully composed relaxation ritual where centuries of brewing tradition meet modern wellness. From the moment you step into the historic building, the everyday world stays outside – and you are left with the peace of a house with five hundred years of history, the scent of hops and herbs, and warm water doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
Beer bath in an oak-and-larch tub
You sink into a solid oak-and-larch tub filled with warm water at 35–37°C. Live brewer's yeast cultures and a herb blend are added to the bath, creating the characteristic foam and aroma of a true beer wellness soak. The beneficial compounds absorb through your skin while you let complete calm take over.
Unlimited beer throughout
During both the bath and the relaxation that follows, you can enjoy as much beer as you like. A chilled glass in hand, warm water all around – this is what proper beer relaxation looks like.
Relaxation on an oat-straw bed
After the bath you rest on a bed lined with oat straw. Your body warms through, perspires gently, and unwinds. The beer compounds keep working, muscles release their tension, and the mind grows quiet.
Wellness at the relaxation centre
Round off the experience with the hotel's additional wellness facilities – a jacuzzi, infrared sauna, or one of the available massages. The ideal ending to a day in the foothills of the Orlické hory mountains.
What's included
- Beer bath in a solid oak-and-larch tub (35–37°C)
- Live brewer's yeast cultures and herb blend in the bathwater
- Unlimited beer during the procedure and relaxation
- Relaxation on an oat-straw bed
- Access to the wellness centre (jacuzzi, infrared sauna, massages)
- Option to combine with accommodation directly in the hotel
When should you go?
The beer baths at Hotel Panský dům are open year-round – a warm soak in winter after a walk in the Orlické hory, a quiet escape into nature in spring and autumn. We recommend confirming current opening hours and available dates directly with the hotel when you book.
Tip: Combine the beer bath with an overnight stay and turn your visit into a proper weekend. A morning walk along the Divoká Orlice river or a day out in the Orlické hory mountains, followed by an evening beer bath and relaxation in the wellness centre – it is a hard recipe to improve on.
Which experience to choose?
Hotel Panský dům offers the beer bath both as a standalone procedure and as part of stay packages:
- Beer bath only – the beer soak with unlimited beer and straw relaxation. A quick, no-nonsense escape from everyday stress without needing to stay overnight.
- Beer bath + wellness – the soak topped up with jacuzzi, infrared sauna, or a massage. Full relaxation for body and mind.
- Beer wellness stay – hotel accommodation combined with a beer bath and wellness access. The ideal romantic weekend for two in the historic setting of Panský dům.
We recommend confirming the exact contents of each package and current conditions directly with Hotel Panský dům or via the booking provider.
Health benefits of a beer bath
A beer spa is not just a great story to tell when you get home – the natural compounds in hops, brewer's yeast, and herbs have real beneficial effects on body and mind. The good news: you do not need to enjoy drinking beer to benefit from a single one of them.
Boosts circulation
The warm bath at 35–37°C promotes blood flow and warms the whole body, right through to the joints.
Strengthens immunity
Brewer's yeast is a rich source of B-group vitamins, which support the body's natural defences – absorbed directly through the skin.
Improves skin & hair
The yeast and herb blend work on both skin and hair – you step out of the tub feeling noticeably silkier, even if you were sceptical going in.
Melts away stress
Hops are a natural sedative – they calm the nervous system and ease you into a deep rest that normally takes hours to reach.
Relaxes muscles
The warm bath combined with subsequent rest on the straw bed releases tight muscles and warms the joints – the oat-straw relaxation phase finishes what the tub starts.
Regenerates the body
Compounds from hops – including humulone and lupulin – contribute to overall bodily recovery and a lasting sense of wellbeing.
Beer baths are relaxation experiences. They are not recommended for women in advanced pregnancy, people with high blood pressure, or those who have had recent surgery. If you have an allergy to proteins, yeast, or hops, consult your doctor before visiting.

Why you will love it
We came for our anniversary and had no idea what to expect from a small town in east Bohemia. The building is genuinely stunning – centuries of history and a solid oak tub waiting inside. The beer bath was unforgettable. We booked another night on the spot.
The straw relaxation bed is a revelation. I fell half-asleep while the yeast compounds kept doing their thing. My skin was noticeably softer the next morning. Unlimited cold beer in the tub was just a bonus at that point.
Booked this as a birthday gift for a friend who loves hiking in the Orlické hory. She did a trail in the morning and the beer bath in the evening – said it was the best birthday she'd had in years. Will definitely be going myself next time.
