WHERE TO STAY
With the rise of free enterprise after the fall of Communism, many hotels have
sprouted up or are getting a “new” old look. PENSION and ZIMMER FREI signs line
Horní and Rooseveltova streets and offer some of the best values in town. For a com-
prehensive list of area hotels and help with bookings, call or write to the Information
Centrum listed above in “Visitor Information.”

Hotel R*ze (Rose Hotel) Once a Jesuit seminary, this stunning Italian Renais-
sance building has been turned into a well-appointed hotel. Comfortable in a big-city
kind of way, it's packed with amenities and is one of the top places to stay in C esk ;
Krumlov. The rooms are clean and spacious, but the promise of a Renaissance stay dis-
sipates quickly. For families or large groups, the larger suites, which have eight beds,
provide good value. For the adventurous or those with the right haircut, try one of the
cells, where the Jesuit monks used to stay.

Inexpensive
Pension Anna Along “pension alley,” this is a comfortable and rustic place.
What makes the pension a favorite are the friendly management and homey feeling
you get as you walk up to your room. Forget hotels—this is the kind of place where
you can relax. The owners even let you buy drinks and snacks at the bar downstairs
and take them to your room. The suites, with four beds and a living room, are great
for families and groups.

Pension Na louzi Smack-dab in the heart of the Inner Town, the small Na lou z i,
decorated with early-20th-century wooden furniture, is a charming change from
many of the bigger, bland rooms found in nearby hotels. If the person at reception
starts mentioning names without apparent reason, don't worry; it's not a language
problem. Management has given the rooms human names instead of numbers. The
only drawback is that the beds (maybe the people for whom the rooms were named
were all short) can be a little short for those over 2m (6 ft.).
