Hotel Nautilus sets new standards for hotels in Bohemia, providing a great resting place for visitors to the Czech Republic. Situated on the main square of a beautiful medieval town, Tabor, one hour South of Prague, the boutique hotel is in an area with a tremendously rich historical and cultural past. The hotel, a reconstructed historic building, was completed and opened in March, 2006 by British couple Angie and Neil Harbury.

Tabor is in an ideal location to explore southern Bohemia offering peaceful countryside, extensive forests, rivers, lakes and idyllic villages. Nearby towns are packed full of history and wonderful Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture. There are literally dozens of the world's most stunning castles within an hour's drive. Hotel Nautilus is perfect for a wonderful romantic or active holiday in Bohemia. All who visit will appreciate that there's more to the Czech Republic than Prague.

The facilities

Guests at the boutique hotel can enjoy delectable cuisine and an impressive drink menu at chic restaurant Goldie. The restaurant's lush interior features ornate mirrors and sculptures and the oversized windows are great for gazing out at Zizka Square.

The boutique hotel's public rooms are ideal for sipping a cup of coffee or ordering a drink from the cocktail bar. The Wine Bar is also a favourite choice among guests.

An especially exciting feature, Hotel Nautilus has a unique cellar which enter the web of tunnels under the old town and has 13th-century stone pillars.

The rooms

Each of the boutique hotel's 22 rooms is individually decorated. The decor is influenced by the Harbury's background in geology; each room contains a unique rock or fossil. Ancient stone and antique Art Nouveau and Deco furniture and lights are combined with original works of art and sculptures from both Bohemia and England. This blend of contemporary design and restored furniture provides guests with an experience they will never forget.

The boutique hotel's spacious Luxurious suites have Jacuzzi baths and are ideal for large parties including families and businesspeople. Rooms on the top floor are especially lavish with mosaics, gorgeous stained glass doors, a mini theatre stage and stunning views of the Tabor countryside and rooftops.
