About this property

Tucked into a medieval building on the banks of the Vltava River, Hotel Edward Kelly sits at the very heart of Český Krumlov, one of Central Europe's most enchanting small towns. The property occupies a prime spot just beneath the gaze of Český Krumlov Castle, the sprawling hilltop complex that draws visitors from around the world with its baroque theatre, painted tower, and terraced gardens. The town itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and from the hotel's doorstep guests can wander cobblestone lanes lined with Renaissance and Gothic facades, dipping into galleries, riverside cafés, and artisan shops within minutes. Hotel Edward Kelly offers a handful of well-appointed room categories that make the most of its enviable position. Standard double rooms look out over the intimate streetscape behind the building, while the castle-view doubles and suites frame a stunning tableau of the fortress, tower, and river below. Families or small groups can opt for a double with extra bed that also faces the castle. Complimentary WiFi reaches every room, and on-site parking removes the hassle of navigating narrow historic streets. A restaurant serves guests without requiring a trek across town, and a swimming pool provides a welcome retreat after a day spent exploring. Breakfast is served at the affiliated property just a short walk away on Široká Street, keeping the morning routine easy and unhurried. This is a particularly good fit for couples drawn to romantic Old World settings and for culture-minded travellers who want to sleep inside the historic centre rather than on its fringes. Solo explorers and small families will also appreciate the central location and range of room configurations. Český Krumlov lies roughly two and a half hours south of Prague by car, making the hotel a rewarding stop on any Bohemian itinerary.
