CASTLE RESIDENCE PRAHA
About the Castle Hotel
Castle Residence Praha, Prague - A Tranquil Retreat in the Vineyards
Set amidst the picturesque vineyards of Prague's Troja district, Castle Residence Praha occupies a historic 18th-century wine estate, offering an aura of stylish retreat. This smoke-free hotel, with its generous 25 acres of private gardens, provides a serene escape from the city's more energetic pulse, yet remains within reach of its attractions.
Location
The hotel is situated in Troja, a peaceful residential and wine-growing area of Prague, some distance from the historical center, taking about an hour to reach. It's conveniently located 100 meters from the Vltava River Path, an ideal route for cycling, hiking, or running. A free shuttle service operates daily, connecting guests to the Holesovice metro station and Trojska tram station, and also offers stops at the zoo and botanical gardens, catering to those seeking attractions further afield like LunaPark and Sea World. While Prague Castle and Old Town Square are a drive away, the immediate surroundings offer a unique charm.
Style and Character
The Castle Residence Praha embraces a simple, rustic style, a fitting homage to its origins. Exposed beams and white walls are complemented by warm wooden floorboards and furnishings, creating an inviting atmosphere. This aesthetic extends to the historic wine cellar, which retains its original vaulted ceilings, adding a touch of authentic heritage. The overall feel is one of understated elegance, far removed from the typical city hotel.
Service and Facilities
Guests are treated to complimentary wireless internet access throughout the property, as well as concierge services. The hotel features a business center, dry cleaning/laundry services, and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. A particularly appealing amenity is the small wellness area, complete with a heated indoor pool, sauna, and whirlpool tub - all available free of charge. For relaxation, massages and cosmetic treatments can be arranged. The historic wine cellar, with its original vaulted ceilings, offers a unique venue, as does the lovely terrace for sunny days and a salon for private dining. Additional practicalities include 30 on-site parking spaces and a shared kitchen and laundry area.
Rooms
The accommodation ranges from doubles to family rooms and spacious apartments. Doubles and family rooms feature seating areas with coffee tables, ample wardrobe space, and generously sized bathrooms with walk-in showers. Each room is equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, air conditioning, a minibar, and an electric kettle. Private bathrooms come with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Some rooms offer garden views, while others boast the added space of an extra single bed or a large sofa bed. The hotel also offers spacious apartments with two bedrooms and one bathroom, catering well to larger groups.
Food and Drink
The hotel's restaurant serves a buffet breakfast with a reasonable selection of cold options alongside warm egg dishes. For other meals, it offers a mix of Czech and international cuisine, providing familiar comforts. While not a culinary destination in itself, the dining experience is reliable. For those seeking a casual bite, a snack bar/deli is also available.
Value for Money
Given its location in a quieter, residential area and its focus on providing a serene environment, Castle Residence Praha offers good value, particularly for those who appreciate space and a connection to nature. The inclusion of free shuttle services, access to the wellness area, and extensive grounds contributes to the overall sense of worth. It's an excellent choice for travelers seeking tranquility over immediate access to the city's core.
Accessibility
While specific details on adapted rooms and wheelchair access are not detailed, the property's spacious grounds and the availability of elevators or ramps should be inquired about directly for guests with specific mobility needs. The presence of walk-in showers in some bathrooms is a positive note.
Family-Friendly
Castle Residence Praha is exceptionally well-suited for families. Beyond spacious room options, the hotel offers a dedicated children's bowling area, a playground, and even minigolf and petanque for outdoor fun. For the youngest guests, baby swimming lessons are available, and the proximity to the zoo and botanical gardens via the shuttle service provides easy access to family-oriented attractions. The hotel's peaceful setting also ensures a comfortable stay for those traveling with children.
