Grand Hotel Pupp, a luxury 5-star hotel and one of Europe’s grand, historic hotels located in the historical center of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic. Dating back to 1701 and built as the Saxony Hall by Burgomaster Deiml, the Pop/Pupp family purchased the property in 1890, and between 1896 and 1907 Viennese architects rebuilt the property into the neo-baroque hotel as seen today.

Two separate destinies that fit her like a glove, as with her impeccably wavy blonde hair, her milky complexion and sparkling eyes, she transcended, be it on screen or in the city, with her dazzling beauty and unrivalled grace.
