What is the difference between a spa hotel and a thermal spa?

A thermal spa is usually a public amenity with thermal baths, saunas and spa offers that can be used by day guests. A spa hotel, on the other hand, is a hotel with its own spa area where overnight guests can enjoy exclusive spa offers. Access to the spa facilities is often included in the hotel price, whereas a visit to a thermal spa usually has to be paid for separately.

What do I take with me to the spa hotel?

SnowTrex recommends the following for a stay at a spa hotel:

• Comfortable clothing and swimwear (swimsuit/bathing trunks, bathrobe if necessary)
• Bathing shoes or flip-flops
• Sportswear for fitness or yoga programmes
• Personal care products
• A good book or music to relax to

Please note that many hotels provide bathrobes, towels and personal care products. Detailed information on availability can be found in the description of the respective accommodation.

How should I dress at the spa hotel?

Swimwear and bathrobes are common in the spa area. A towel is usually used in the saunas and a bathrobe is often worn in the relaxation areas. Smart casual wear is recommended for the restaurant or lobby. Sportswear is advisable for fitness or yoga programmes.

How should I behave in a spa hotel?

Consideration and peace and quiet take centre stage. Quiet talking and mobile phones are usually taboo in the spa area. Depending on the country and hotel, textiles or towels are not allowed in saunas and relaxation areas. Please do not reserve any loungers and do observe the hotel's house rules.

Are children or babies allowed in the spa hotel?

Whether children or babies are welcome in a spa hotel depends on the hotel in question. Many spa hotels have special family areas or child-friendly offers. "Adults only" hotels, on the other hand, focus on peace and relaxation for adults. Find out about the regulations and offers for families before you book.
