The Wellness & Spa Park Hotel ***+
has a rather attractive location. It is situated in a pleasant and quiet setting of the town park, next to the branch of the Váh river and less than 500 m from the pedestrian zone and Spa Island. Its location makes the hotel suitable for those who seek peace and relaxation without, however, being within reach from the centre of social and spa-related life.
The first chronicle of Piešťany dates back to 1113 and the status of the spa increased as time went on, boosted in the 19th century thanks to the high standard of spa care. In the second half of the 20th century, the number of the town’s inhabitants doubled to the current 30,000 due to its industrial growth.

The second largest river in Slovakia – the Váh – flows through the town.

Piešťany lies 80 km from Bratislava, 150 km from Vienna, and the town is easily accessible by road and train. The local airport is able to accommodate smaller aircraft.
