Current Affairs First Czech five star hotel wins EU ecological award
The first five star hotel in the Czech Republic has been awarded the prestigious EU-Eco Label award for environmental friendliness. The Hotel Chateau Mcely near Nymburk in the central Bohemian countryside may be luxuriously equipped and charge up to 44 000Kc (2,700 US dollars) a night for it's most exclusive suite, but it is certainly not lavish at the expense of the environment. Every care has been taken to ensure that while guests are pampered and indulged, they are treated in a way which is ecologically responsible as well as. This has meant that the hotel, located in a restored and reconstructed Czech chateau, is now proudly able to show the EU flower mark alongside its five stars. Jamie Brindley spoke to the owner and manger of the project, Jim Cusumano, about how the hotel has gone about setting its environmental standards so high.
