Elegant country mansion
Situated in the middle of the St George Forest, this fabulous former manor house is just one hour’s easy drive from the historic centre of Prague. This private retreat is set high on a hill with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and is in an excellent location for walking and exploring around the nearby countryside of Central Bohemia. The nearby village of Loucen and the Gothic St Wenceslas Church are just a short drive from the Chateau Mcely and there are a number of golf courses in the area. The 5-hectare English parkland which surrounds the chateau is perfect for taking horse-drawn carriage rides, cycling, jogging or for romantic strolls. The hotel can provide a chauffeured car to meet guests from the airport which is 70km (44 miles) away.
The luxury Chateau Mcely offers guests a unique opportunity to stay in a beautifully maintained historic castle in unspoilt rural Czech Rebublic. One of the most stunning luxury hotels in Prague, the Chateau Mcely is a member of the Small Hotels of the World Group and was awarded the ‘World’s Greenest Hotel’ title in 2008 by the World Travel Awards. This is the only luxury hotel in the Czech Republic to be awarded this title, and there are only 2 eco-hotels which meet the exacting standards in the whole of the European Union! For an idyllic weekend escape or a romantic honeymoon destination, guests are totally captivated by the sophisticated service offered within the atmosphere of a private family home. The hotel is in fact owned and run by the Cusumano family who are committed to environmental protection.
Aiming to bring tranquility to body, mind and spirit, the Chateau Mcely has an exclusive spa, appropriately named “Honey, Silk and Pearls”. Each individual massage and beauty treatment draws on traditional knowledge and therapeutic skills to bring about complete relaxation. Finish the experience with a water-massage in the terrace Jacuzzi. Enjoy the Studiolo, a tiny library on the top floor of the tower, the rooftop astronomical observatory and or explore the extensive parkland and formal gardens for a quiet escape.
The 24 individually designed rooms make this a boutique hotel of exceptional charm and comfortable luxury. Each room has its own theme and individuality with views of the beautiful country park and forest beyond. Luxury beds, exquisite furnishings and attention to detail make your stay an interlude of relaxation and total self-indulgence.
The gourmet restaurant, Piano Nobile offers lunch, dinner or afternoon tea on the outdoor terrace in fine style. The team of chefs, under Libor Krusinsky, have created a light yet mouthwatering menu based on recipes of the aristocratic cuisine enjoyed by the Thurn-Taxis family who originally lived in the chateau. The kitchen will even prepare a picnic to be enjoyed in the nearby forest, accompanied only by deer grazing and the sound of birdsong.
The Alchemy bar is located in the former wine cellar and the delicate artwork helps create a wonderful atmosphere as you pore over the extensive international wine list whilst sipping the house-blend concoction, the ‘Elixir of Life’ cocktail.
For weddings, conferences and romantic weekends this luxury hotel offers unrivalled pampering and service in a beautiful location.
