The Kurhaus ("cure house", German pronunciation: [ˈkuːɐ̯haʊ̯s])^[1] is the spa house in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse, Germany. It serves as the city's convention centre,^[2] and the social center of the spa town. In addition to a large and a smaller hall, it houses a restaurant and the Wiesbaden Casino, or Spielbank, which is notable for allowing the "highest roulette stakes in Germany" (as of 2005^[update]),^[3] and where Fyodor Dostoyevsky was said to have received the inspiration for his novel The Gambler.^[4]
