Open a Hotel in the Czech Republic

Czech Republic is a country which attracts numerous tourists each year and thus, a suitable business that can be set up here refers to opening a hotel or another type of accommodation unit. In order to open a company in the Czech Republic for operating a hotel, the investors will be required to follow the standard registration procedure applicable to other types of companies operating in various industries, but also to follow the requirements established by the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants, the main authority for this field of activity. Our team of company formation representatives in Czech Republic may provide in-depth assistance on the business permits that are compulsory for any accommodation unit registered in this country. 

 

 

Just like in any other country which is a member of the European Union (EU), Czech Republic applies the 5 star classification system; the classification refers to the facilities provided by the respective accommodation unit. 

 

Investors interested in starting the procedure of company formation in Czech Republic for this type of business should know that the Czech star system refers to the following:

 

• 1 star – tourist;

• 2 stars – economy;

• 3 stars – standard;

• 4 stars – first class;

• 5 stars – luxury. 

 

For each classification, the Czech legislation on this matter provides a number of minimum requirements that have to be met by the company administering the hotel. For example, the size of the room depends on the star classification (larger rooms are available in 4 or 5 stars hotels). At the same time, the facilities offered by the hotel (internet connection, air conditioning, mini-bar, bathroom equipment, the meals included in the price of the room) depend on the ranking of the hotel. It is important to know that a 1 star hotel is not required to offer breakfasts to its customers. Our team of company formation agents in Czech Republic can offer further information on other legal aspects. 

 

Customarily, the accommodation industry in Czech Republic is comprised of the following categories: 

 

• hotels; 

• motels;

• pensions;

• campsites;

• chalet colonies;

• walkers dormitories;

• boat hotels. 

 

Any accommodation unit must obtain authorization from the competent authorities. The procedure of company registration in Czech Republic for a hotel will include the issuance of special licenses. The investors will need a building license if they will build a new construction project or if they will modify an existing building. At the same time, the premises will need approval from the local fire department, for sewage and watering systems and numerous others, which can be further explained by our representatives.
