Save to favouritesPrintMailChateau McelyThis is an unexpected phenomenon: a very grand chateau hotel in the depths of Bohemia. Handsome electric gates and a graveled, lawned sweep up to the house set the tone; there was even a gardener wearing a smock and a straw hat – and it wasn’t for a film-crew. You would never guess that the castle lay in ruins for 60 years, abandoned in 1948 by the Thurn-Taxis aristocracy. But when it was spotted by Jim and Inéz Cusumano, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his Czech wife (now a successful property developer in the Republic), they made it their mission to restore it into a luxury hotel. And what a transformation! A sweeping staircase lined with deer antlers leads to 23 elegant, themed [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=rooms&hotel_key=PR007!suites] packed with antiques and sumptuous fabrics. Two dining rooms, decked with chandeliers and Regency chairs, serve [eating:PR007:grand feasts] and top class wines. There are a rooftop observatory, a sauna, a cellar bar and an open-air Jacuzzi. Set amid deep forests, this is a luxurious retreat for couples seeking a pampering break within easy reach of Prague, and would make a delightful wedding venue.
