About Chateau Mcely

Chateau Mcely is a 24-room chateau hotel in the village of Mcely, in central Bohemia, set in an English park beside St. George Forest.

Chateau Mcely is a 17th-century residence of the Thurn-Taxis family in the village of Mcely, central Bohemia. It stands in a five-hectare English park beside St. George Forest and has operated as a boutique hotel since 2006. It holds a MICHELIN Key, and its Piano Nobile restaurant is MICHELIN Selected. The kitchen works with local suppliers, herbs from the chateau gardens and its own smokehouse, and the cellar holds more than 1,000 bottles.

Weddings can be civil, religious, symbolic or registered partnership ceremonies, held in the chateau hall or out in the park. Banquets are served for up to 90 guests, and a garden marquee can be added for larger parties. The whole chateau can be taken for the wedding party alone, with the grounds closed to the public, and coordination is part of every wedding package. Its 24 individually named rooms and suites sleep up to 55 guests. The estate also has a spa with its own hand-blended cosmetics, an outdoor whirlpool, a sauna house and a naturally filtered swimming lake.

The place is beautiful

Absolutely loved our stay which we considered amazing value for money.
The place is beautiful with an impressive attention to detail.
We’ve stayed in many wonderful hotels, but what truly sets Chateau Mcely apart is the warm hospitality. It’s difficult to describe how sweet and welcoming the staff make you feel even before you arrive.
The little details to make it fun sets the hotel apart from any other places we have stayed is the open air cinema (in Czech, but still a nice touch) surprises for kids and all the free amenities. We borrow the Mountainbikes and went on an adventure with a map from the staff.
The food was delicious. Definitely high end but worth it.
We hope to be back with family and friends and will 100% recommend a stay here!
