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.
Star system for Czech hotels
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.
