Just an hour from Prague lies the chance to experience historic, five-star tranquillity in the most of atmospheric of settings
Chateau Herálec Boutique Hotel & Spa by L’Occitane is set in the heart of the Czech Republic’s Highlands, or as the locals would say, Vysočina. This 13th century castle is an absolute gem of a destination – and since it was renovated and expanded in 2011, Chateau Herálec has got bigger and better. Aside from the historic building and totally tranquil surroundings, one of the main reasons so many guests return is the welcoming family touch present in every corner of the property. And with direct access to the D1 highway, Chateau Herálec is only a one-hour drive from Prague and Brno, two hours from Bratislava, and 2.5 hours from Vienna. Never has luxurious isolation been so convenient.
A haven beyond compare
Chateau Herálec has something for everyone, offering experiences exciting and new according to the season. During the spring and summer months, enjoy the
birds singing outside your window and witness the breathtaking natural beauty that Herálec and Vysočina provides. For those who prefer the cooler autumn or winter period, you can enjoy the relaxing crunch of fallen leaves or fresh snow underfoot. Whatever the time of year, Chateau Herálec offers a Highland haven that is truly incomparable.
Chateau Herálec’s indulgent spa area includes a showpiece swimming pool, built under the arches of the former stables. There is also a whirlpool bath which, like the swimming pool, is set in a stunning location – the turret. Ideally positioned just behind the relaxation room in the spa’s southern wing, this serene bath is perfect to unwind after a massage, sauna, or fitness session.
Rich flavours
Each guest can indulge in one of the 19 spacious rooms, which are named after one of the Chateau’s former owners, or after a painting from the Regional Gallery of Vysočina.
Lovers of fine dining are in for a real treat, as Chateau Herálec is home to a fabulous farm-to-table restaurant. Restaurant Honoria only works with fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. As well as an à la carte offering, there is a seasonal, six-course tasting menu pairing each dish with a wine. The cellar stocks not only Moravian wines but also one of the largest collections of Bordeaux wines in the country.
The chateau offers a wide range of activities for both corporate and leisure travellers and can host everything from weddings to family parties or business events. If you decide to visit Chateau Herálec, your experience at this landmark luxury hotel will guarantee you a memorable and inspiring stay. Chateau Herálec is where a warm family welcome meets five-star luxury – this a destination not be missed, any time of the year.
