Just an hour’s drive from Prague, nestled in the charming village of Mcely, lies a true gem o – the five-star Chateau Mcely Spa Hotel. Surrounded by a five-hectare English park and the mystical St. George’s Forest, this romantic hideaway offers a perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and first-class service.
Chateau Mcely isn’t just a place to stay – it’s an experience for all the senses. Once the summer residence of the noble Thurn-Taxis family, the chateau was brought back to life in 2001 when Inéz Cusumano discovered the dilapidated property and decided to restore its grandeur. After years of dedicated renovation, it reopened in 2006 as one of the most sought-after boutique hotels in the country.
The hotel features 24 individually designed rooms and suites, each with its own unique style and atmosphere – from romantic castle chambers to sleek, contemporary suites. Every detail is carefully curated, with natural materials, handcrafted furnishings, and a serene sense of elegance throughout.
At the heart of the chateau is the award-winning Piano Nobile restaurant, regularly ranked among the top restaurants in the Czech Republic. Under the guidance of Chef Honza Štěrba, seasonal dishes are crafted using fresh local ingredients, herbs from the chateau garden, and family recipes passed down through generations. Highlights include the in-house smokehouse, a wine cellar with over 260 labels, and a glass conservatory overlooking the park.
After a gourmet meal, guests can unwind at the Mcely Bouquet Spa, a haven of natural herbal aromatherapy. Indulge in bespoke spa treatments using the hotel’s own Mcely Bouquet organic cosmetics, handcrafted on-site. Facilities include an outdoor whirlpool, a natural swimming pond, a sauna cottage, and a fitness area set in the park’s serenity.
The chateau’s park is perfect for leisure and play – enjoy croquet, pétanque, tennis, or badminton, or simply relax with a picnic. Children can look forward to a beautifully designed playground and spa treatments tailored just for them. Even four-legged guests are welcome, with a special menu for dogs offered at the restaurant.
For those seeking adventure, the nearby St. George’s Forest invites you to explore its scenic trails – perfect for walking, cycling, jogging, or mushroom foraging. The landscape changes with the seasons, offering magical views year-round.
Chateau Mcely is a beloved destination for romantic escapes, fairy-tale weddings, family holidays, and corporate retreats. Guests come here to find peace, inspiration, and unforgettable experiences.
Celebrated for its vision of sustainable luxury, the hotel has received multiple international awards, including the prestigious title of World’s Leading Green Hotel. Since 2022, Chateau Mcely has also been a proud member of the Iconic Houses network, which brings together the world’s most architecturally significant residences open to the public.
