Hotel Tvrz Orlice  

Set on the outskirts of Letohrad in East Bohemia, this wellness hotel sits inside a restored 13th‑century fortress about 3 km from the city center. Surrounded by ponds and parkland, it’s a pet-friendly, family-friendly castle escape with easy access to local cycling routes and historic ruins.

Historic charm meets modern comfort — think stone walls, themed private lounges and terraces over the pond. Rooms come with minibar, air conditioning and TV, and many offer calming nature or pond views. The property blends intimate wellness zones and quiet outdoor spots for picnics, with accessible features like an elevator and English/German‑speaking staff.

Castle spa with hydromassage whirlpool, Finnish sauna, cooling area and a relaxation lounge overlooking the grounds. Massage room, steam bath and a fitness center keep recovery and energy on point. Families get a playground with trampolines, indoor playroom with cinema and alpaca feeding; there’s a picnic area, bicycle and e‑bike rental, and winter skiing access nearby. Free on‑site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi complete the stay.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the estate and a concierge/tour desk to help with bookings and local logistics. Free parking adds convenience for road trips.

A stylish restaurant inside the historic fortress anchors the gastronomy offer, with a covered terrace overlooking the pond, private themed lounges and an authentic 13th‑century cellar for intimate dinners. There’s also a bar on site and a hearty free breakfast to start the day.
