The magic of the past for the perfect pleasure of the present  

The Otočec Castle, first mentioned in 1252, has undergone many transformations in its eight-century long history. It was owned by numerous noble families. Nowadays it is ideal for romantic holiday pampering, fairytale-like weddings and other ceremonies, gourmets, and businessmen as well. Its uniquely renovated atmosphere in the spirit of Gothic and Renaissance offers the guests the comfort of a five star hotel. There are 16 rooms available in the castle for topmost accommodation, including four suites and two royal suites.
