Housing for spa and hotel staff in Mariánské Lázně

5 min readAnglický Resort

Anyone working in a spa or a hotel in Mariánské Lázně runs into the same recurring problem: the work follows a seasonal rhythm, but you need somewhere to live all year round. Your own lease, independent of your employer, costs CZK 7,900 a month in Rezidence Pelikán, or CZK 11,500 with the advance covering all utilities, with no commission and with the move-in as soon as the contract is signed. A company can also rent a flat for its employee.

The spa industry is the town's biggest employer

The biggest employer in Mariánské Lázně is Léčebné lázně Mariánské Lázně a. s., which the statistical register places in the 500–999 employees category. Alongside it are hotels, restaurants, wellness facilities and the services that go with them. Job listings from September 2026 for the surrounding area include, for example, a daytime hotel receptionist at CZK 26,000 to 30,000 or an electrician at CZK 40,000 to 50,000 a month.

According to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), the average gross wage in the Karlovy Vary Region in Q2 2026 was CZK 44,476 — the lowest of all the regions, while the national average was CZK 51,966. That is precisely why, with housing, the deciding figure is the total monthly amount, not just the rent.

Seasonality: what makes housing uncertain

The spa season peaks from spring to autumn and some of the jobs are seasonal. Accommodation from an employer is usually tied to the employment contract — when the season ends or you change employer, the housing has to be sorted out too. Your own lease breaks that link: you can change jobs without having to move.

The advance covers electricity, heating, hot and cold water, waste collection, building management and the connection to the television antenna. The flat is partly furnished — a kitchen unit with MORA appliances and a complete bathroom; for CZK 750 a month you can add a sofa bed and a wardrobe. The laundry room in the building is free, and internet from StarNet is arranged directly with the provider from CZK 299 a month.

An employer can rent the flat too

If a company needs accommodation for its people, it can rent a flat itself for its employee. The same terms apply as for tenants coming in off the street: a long-term rental, a maximum of two people in the flat, the same price. For the employer it means stable housing for key roles without having to run a hostel of its own.
