Dvořák

$$ | Hradební 3037, Tábor, 390 01, Czech Republic

A bit outside the city center, this former brewery building has been thoroughly renovated into one of the nicest places in town. Upbeat—even slick—modern furnishings decorate this property. The rooms are a welcome change of pace from the puritan, standard-issue bed and nightstands of typical Czech hotels, and the "let's get down" attitude extends to the main lobby and café-bar. Some rooms also have sofa beds, a great boon for larger families. It's clean, well run, and a great choice. The hotel's restaurant, La Cave, is one of the nicest in town, offering creative Czech dishes. At the on-site beer spa, guests can enjoy both a glass and a bath filled with beer.

Pros

  • Modern rooms
  • Free parking
  • On-site beer spa

Cons

  • Can be busy during conferences
  • Weak Wi-Fi at times
  • Swimming pool very small

Hotel Bílá paní

$ | Dobrovského 5, Jindrichuv Hradec, 377 01, Czech Republic

Situated next to the castle, this cozy hotel takes its name (The White Lady) from a ghost legend—and its otherwise comfortable rooms are alleged to be haunted. The legend involves a White Lady, a benign type of Czech spirit. The simple rooms are not very stylish but they do vary in their layouts and furnishings. Ask to see a few before making your choice. The restaurant's front terrace is a popular people-watching spot.

Pros

  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Castle views
  • Historical building

Cons

  • Rooms are sweet but spare
  • Bathroom size and placement is a bit unorthodox
  • The promised ghost never appears

Hotel Biograf

$ | Gregorova 124, Písek, 397 01, Czech Republic

A design-conscious hotel with an award-winning restaurant is a rare find in Písek. Don't be put off by the plain exterior; the interior is surprisingly modern. Rooms are decorated in boxy blond-wood furniture and neutral tones, and bathrooms are nicely spacious. The location, right across the street from the Church of the Virgin, is perfect.

Pros

  • Large rooms
  • Good location
  • All amenities

Cons

  • Exterior low on charm
  • Not a lot in the area to keep you overnight
  • Near church bells that ring in the night

$$ | Mlýnská 6, Ceské Budejovice, 307 01, Czech Republic

$ | Nám. Míru 141, Jindrichuv Hradec, 377 01, Czech Republic

Right on the town square, this historical-looking hotel with a modern interior lets you spring directly into sightseeing action.

  • Expressive furnishings
  • Plentiful services for business travelers

Cons

  • Decor is expressive but not necessarily cohesive

Hotel Růže

$$$ | Horní 154, Ceský Krumlov, 381 01, Czech Republic Fodor's Choice

Converted from a Jesuit school, this excellent, centrally located hotel with spacious rooms is a two-minute walk from the main square. The decor goes for a historical feel, with lots of dark wood. A few rooms have drop-dead-gorgeous views of the castle, so ask to see several before choosing. Note that some double rooms have two narrow single beds, whereas some singles have beds large enough for two. The restaurant offers top-notch dining in a setting that's formal but not stuffy.

Pros

  • Central location
  • Magnificent castle views
  • Quality restaurant

Cons

  • Inconsistent bed layouts
  • Baroque decorations are a bit overdone
  • Service doesn't always come with a smile

Nautilus

$$ | Žižkovo nám. 20, Tábor, 390 02, Czech Republic Fodor's Choice

This tasteful boutique hotel on the edge of Tábor's charming central square exhibits touches of Bohemian craftsmanship in the architecture, beautiful antiques in the rooms, and elegant, original art on the walls (think shells). The hotel restaurant, Goldie, is an excellent place to dine. Very few central squares in the Czech Republic are blessed with such an elegant and comfortable place to stay.

Pros

  • Great eats
  • Best address in town
  • Rooms with genuine Bohemian flair

Cons

  • Some rooms are a little dark
  • Breakfast spread not as great as the food at the restaurant
