Hotel Štekl

The house

The Štekl building is as old as Hluboká Castle, at whose foot it stands: the Schwarzenbergs' senior officials lived here, and part of it was kennels and stables. Today it is a four-star hotel with a courtyard, an orangery with a terrace, an English club and the ERB restaurant, under vaults. From the hotel to the castle is just a few steps.

The rooms

46 rooms, all different in size and shape: one single, one Basic, 23 Standard, 13 De luxe with more space and a view of the countryside or the courtyard, five Junior suites, some with two rooms, and three Royal suites. Guests have the wellness area included, with a counter-current pool, whirlpool, Kneipp path, saline steam bath and gym; the private whirlpool and sauna, the bowling alley and the golf simulator are booked separately. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 10:00.

Getting there

By car, about two hours from Prague. Without a car, go via České Budějovice and then the regional bus or train to Hluboká; the Pod kostelem bus stop is nearby.
