CZ, Prerov: LH Hotel Jana**** – Give a Rest As a Christmas Present

Published: 28.11.2019

What is the best Christmas present for a tourist? After all, a holiday voucher! Preferably to a nice hotel in an interesting place, which will not be boring even in bad weather. Want a tip? We have one particular!

The Best of Moravia

UNESCO has noticed two extraordinary monuments in Moravia and it is a well-known fact that as UNESCO notices something, it is worth noting too. First we mention Kroměříž - gardens and archbishop's manor. Its representative halls are so exhibition, opulent, beautiful and rich that they can boldly compete with the Hofburg in Vienna. This is what the filmmakers know, and so many fairy tales and historical films were shot here, such as the famous Amadeus or the recent television series Maria Theresa. When you walk around the castle, you will surely know a lot of places.

The second Moravian monument on the prestigious world list is the baroque plague column in Olomouc, the largest and most beautiful in the country. And by far this is not the only Olomouc magnet for tourists. When you see the city center with the famous pillar, astronomical clock and the Cathedral. Wenceslas, head to the zoo on the Holy Hill or the baroque fortress just across the river Morava.

Where to Stay?

We know a great place, exactly half way between Olomouc and Kromeriz, from every city a stone's throw away. It is LH hotel Jana**** in Přerov. Přerov itself is a quiet, cozy and welcoming town with a historical zone, medieval walls and a chateau with a unique exhibition of old school classes. If you like playing tennis, you can practice on the courts right next to the hotel. For swimmers there is a heated outdoor pool at the hotel. You can then relax on a steamer during a cruise on the Bečva River.

Hotel Jana is ready for rainy days:

• bowling
• billiards
• ping pong
• darts
• wellness center with Finnish, hay and bio sauna, salt and aroma steam, whirlpool, Kneipp path, heated benches and relaxing massages can be booked.

Throughout the hotel there is wifi and in every room LCD satellite TV.

In the four-star comfort of course there are such things as a bathroom, hairdryer, safe or minibar in the room, but some rooms are equipped with a coffee machine and for all hotel clients is an oasis of the hotel restaurant Fontana! It cooks from the best homemade ingredients. As a confirmation of their uniqueness, the chefs have recipes for Czech specialties checked by other experts and the restaurant now boasts Czech Specials certification! The gastronomic experience will be complemented by a selection of Moravian and French wines.

Something for Bikers

The Bečva Bicycle Trail is 150 km long behind the hotel. The trail is interesting at almost any time of the year and is divided into several sections. Only a very small part of the trail runs across the road, mostly you will drive through peaceful countryside along paved forest and field roads. Bicycles or scooters can be rented at the hotel. You can reach the open-air museum in Rožnov or in the opposite direction to Tovačov Castle.

Put aside couple of days to come here and enjoy a beautiful vacation!
