Spas of Bad Homburg
Spas of Bad Homburg
Bad Homburg has several expensive private clinics where patients can take advantage of the health benefits of the local springs. For the casual visitor the Kur Royal and Taunus Therme offer the two most attractive, if completely different, options.
The Kur Royal is a day spa inside the grand late 19th-century Kaiser Wilhemsbad in the Kurpark. Its facilities and splendor remind the visitor why Bad Homburg was the spa of choice for the royalty of Europe before the First World War. The basic Kur Royal Inclusive package goes for i25 per two hours, i40 for four, and i60 for a full day. It includes the following course: a warm saltwater relaxation pool, a stone oven bath, an aromatherapy bath, a hay steam bath, a sand and light bath (a dawn-to-dusk day on the beach simulation in 30 minutes), a high-humidity Roman steam bath and, to finish, wave dreams – cooling down with visual effects and coordinated music. To this can be added a whole range of additional baths, massages, and acupunctures costing i30 to i75 extra. Nude bathing is not allowed – towels are supplied but not bathing suits or slippers. No smoking and no under-16s. Prior reservations are required.
Just outside the Kurpark is the much more informal and cheaper Taunus Therme, Seedamweg. It combines elements of Japanese, Finnish, and Greco-Roman culture in both its architecture and approach to the spa concept. It has an enormous outdoor pool as well as several other hot and cold pools, cascading waterfalls and bubbling hot whirlpools fed by the Victoria Luise spring (32-36°C/90-97°F). Traditional Finnish saunas add Nordic charm and some go up to 45°C/113°F and 98% humidity. Most areas require bathing suits but 150 outdoor tanning spots are available in the FKK (nude) zone.
