The Best Hotels Near Szyszka, by the Record
-
A cross-shaped log cottage in the Jizera Mountains with a date carved into the oak portal by the original carpenter, this is a small place to stay where history and comfort negotiate rather than fight. Five apartments and a converted barn sleep up to ten, and the kitchen turns out modern Czech cooking from local growers, with bread baked in-house. The kind of weekend that's hard to explain to people who weren't there.

The mill wheel still turns at this ten-room, adults-only hotel tucked into the forests of Českodubsko, a stone mill that has been around forever and shows it. Chamomile grown on the grounds flavors dishes in the restaurant and a signature gin made at a nearby distillery. The bar program was developed by a name from Prague's Bugsy's Bar, and the kitchen has serious pedigree behind it too.

About an hour northeast of Prague, this five-star chateau hotel sits at the edge of a forest known for wild mushrooms, which sets the tone nicely. The 23 rooms run to chandeliers, wrought iron beds, and writing desks that once hosted Rilke. Downstairs, the Alchemist Club pairs a vintage jukebox with high-tech wine preservation, because why not. The spa blends its own natural cosmetics on-site. Michelin awarded it one Key.
