Inside there are wide, high rooms furnished with precious tiles and mosaics. Some well-known visitors to the royal bath were Albert Eduard (Prince of Wales) , Bismarck (1890) and King Chulalongkorn . Regarding the latter, who was on a diet cure there from August 15, 1907 to September 22, 1907, a report says: “... In Bad Homburg, on September 20, the celebration of the 54th birthday of the King of Siam took place. The king had a healing spring that will bear his name surrounded by a magnificent pavilion. It will be a 'memory of a gracious and generous monarch' ... "
