NOT LIKE YOU'D THINK
I don't know whether
you're aware of the fact but Prague is the most visited city in Europe. Reason
being it's one of the oldest and genuine medieval cities still left having
escaped any damaged during the war. Besides acting as a backdrop for numerous
films such as the first Mission Impossible and doubling up as Paris and various
other cities as they used to be, the beer and food are fantastic whilst the
female types are reckoned to be some of the most stunning in the world. Reckoned
is probably wrong since they're nearly all model quality. The other benefit
Prague has is that it's about half an hour away from the town of Mlada
Boleslav, home of Skoda.
Celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of their partnership with VW and with an invitation sent well in
advance to the Aged Rocker, Skoda elected to put the old git up at Chateau
Mcely for a couple of nights. Most people tend to think the Czech Republic is a
bit on the industrial side and in certain areas, it is. The AR for one wouldn't
choose to live near to any of the Skoda plants since what tends to surround
them are the concrete monstrosities left over from the the days when the
Ruskies were in charge. But head out into the countryside especially in the
direction of the Saint George's Forest and stroll on, do things look like how
you wouldn't think of them.
A former hunting lodge
Chateau Mcley lies on the outskirts of the village of the same name. Recently
refurbished this truly stunning hotel is as authentic as it comes, most of the
twenty-three rooms and suites are exactly as they were many years ago, the
modern facilities disguised or hidden from view.
From the big brass door
handle, Belle Epoch lighting, panelled walls, numerous original fixtures and
fittings, the multiply award winning restaurant to the extensive grounds, Mcley
is Bohemian style and splendour at its best. Add in the luxury spa, staff who
move silently yet are on hand in an instant and one of the most relaxed
atmospheres you're likely to encounter and this 17th Century transcends modern
demands.
Genuinely remarkable in
almost every way, if Prague is Europe's number one city destination, Chateau
Mcley should be the number one place to spend the night.
