What's this?

09 April 2012

Top 3 reasons to stay at the hotel:

  1. To dine. The standard of cuisine was absolutely fabulous. The venison on our first night was so succulent that it felt as if it was melting in the mouth. It was obviously fresh, probably from the forest in which the hotel nestles. The selections on the menu gave a wide enough choice to satisfy all tastes. Breakfast is a delight both for light eaters and for those who prefer the full cooked English. 

  2. To enjoy the property. This is the quintessential small luxury hotel, so it does what it says on the tin, on the website and in the SLH directory. The building (derelict twenty one years ago when the whole way of life, and indeed the boundaries of the state changed) has been meticulously restored, with beautiful grounds including an outdoor Jacuzzi, sumptuous decoration and a fine eye for luxury and comfort while maintaining a refreshing informality.  The observatory in the roof adds just that touch of romance that makes the Chateau so special. The children’s playground and toys around the place indicate that little people are welcome too.

  3. To reflect on the history and politics. Just over an hour from the capital – bullied and then occupied by the Nazis, occupied and then repressed in the Prague spring by the Soviets – one sits in a former aristocrat’s home, feeling for all the world as if life had always been like this. But for this guest, widely travelled through central and eastern Europe, it is still simply amazing to experience such luxury and service in this part of Europe. No wonder few of the locals are campaigning to leave the EU which is their guarantee that today’s stability will continue. Long may it do so.

Overview:

The hotel is in a restored chateau that would not look out of place on the banks of the Loire.

It sits in well manicured grounds, on a bluff with sweeping views in one direction and a large forest in the other.

On arrival one is met by both welcoming receptionist and porter. We were received with kindness and courtesy. I never bothered to enquire how the car got on – I did not see it again until the porter delivered it to the front door on departure. It went OK so I presume it had as good a stay as we did.

Our stay could not have been more comfortable. The standard of decoration, furnishing and fittings is outstanding, and the cuisine, served in a charming dining room with views out over the garden, outstanding. The locally made Mcely products used in the spa treatments are luxurious. The staff throughout speak excellent English and could not be more pleased to see their guests.

After viewing the stars from the roof top observatory, sleep was easy in a remarkably comfortable bed, with hardly a sound to disturb one’s slumbers. We stayed two nights. More would have been better. Any fewer would have been a tragedy.

And all this only a two hour flight from London, and close to one of the world’s great cities, Prague.

Mystery Inspectors explained:


Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) places great emphasis on its inspection process and believes in the importance of using 'real' guests rather than retired hotel inspectors to provide a valuable assessment of the hotel, its facilities and the quality of service provided. Enlisting guests in the quality control programme not only enables SLH's customers to be directly involved in the process but allows the hotels to shape operations based on their guests' opinions and experienced insight. As far as the hotel is concerned, this means that every hotel guest is a potential inspector.
