What is Damsel about?

Samuel Alabaster (Robert Pattinson) is an affluent pioneer, ventures across the American frontier to marry his fiancée, Penelope (Mia Wasikowska). He is bringing wedding gifts as well as a pastor, who is supposed to marry them. But everything works out a bit differently than Samuel had imagined. Who is who, actually? In this humorous Western comedy even the pastor does not appear to be a pastor and beautiful Penelope was probably waiting for someone else.

What was the idea behind it?

Besides aiming to entertain, the main objective of David Zellner was to break down the cliché about Westerns. For example, the fact that women are just objects of men´s desire. The main hero in the film is untraditionally an Indian and the main animal a miniature horse.

"We wanted to completely turn round the expectations of the viewers," said David Zellner.

And in this respect the produces clearly succeeded. The luxurious comedy will certainly delight even those viewers who are not usually Western genre aficionados.

Its history will surprise you

The tradition of the hotel dates back to the year of 1701, when the "Salle de l'Assemblée” was built, a Saxony Hall on the order of Mayor Deiml. It was called after its most famous guest, the Saxon Elector Augusta the Strong. Later he was replaced in office by Mayor Andreas Becher. He had commissioned the construction of Czech Hall, which stood in the place of the current Mirror Hall of the Grand Restaurant.

A confectioner as the owner of the luxury hotel!

Over time, Johann Georg Pupp alias Jan Jiří Pop with his wife purchased parts of the architectural construction and established the hotel that we now known as hotel Pupp. The point of interest here is that Jan Jiří Pup was originally a confectioner, but nothing prevented him to fulfil his dream! During the years 1896-1913 Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer rebuilt the structures into one complex of luxury buildings. Today's historic form of the hotel comes from the date of its refurbishment in the years 1905-1907, carried out by the architectural design studio, Fellner and Helmer.

Thousands of famous personalities have tried and tested the quality of the luxury Grandhotel Pupp

Over the time the hotel accommodated famous and notable personalities, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Johann Sebastian Bach or Sebastiano or Richard Wagner. Other residents here also included the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, Norwegian King Harald V., Franz Kafka, Karl Marx, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alfons Mucha, but also famous actors such as Michael Douglas, Denny DeVito, Renné Zellwegger, John Malkovich, John Travolta or Antonio Banderas.

What would you say to a lunch with Jaromír Jágr? You could meet him here, too! It is no secret that John Travolta stayed here too, in a truly royal style, having chosen the presidential suite. He was for example able to admire the beautiful stuccoed ceilings or the porcelain stove, that still used to heat this bedroom at the beginning of the twentieth century. A matter of course is the view of the luxurious city of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad).

One of the most beautiful European halls

There is really a lot of things worthy of estimation and admiration. We will pick only one for now. From the original Café Lounge was created a luxurious Banqueting Hall (1905 to 1907), which is nowadays recognised as one of the most beautiful European halls of its type. In 1926 this noble jewel acquired a great concert organ.
