A BIT OF HISTORY
The oldest information about Špindlerův Mlýn dates back to the 16th century. It was at that time when logging started pushing its way in today's biggest centre of the Giant Mountains and when new colonies of cottages arose.
The so-called “Log Cabins” (Špalkové boudy)
The so-called “Log Cabins” (Špalkové boudy) comprised 18 buildings at that time. The Windsor Hotel, as we know it today, was the oldest of them. In 1894, it started working as an accommodation facility and was called Villa Austria. J. Dědek, the hotelier, presented the hotel as the only Czech hotel. In a period from 1910 to 1920, it was renamed the Habsburg Hotel&Guest house, and by 1942, it provided its services as the Schreiber Hotel with thirty-six rooms, central heating and running water. After World War I, its owners, J. and E. Schreiber, left the hotel, which then got another new name - the Windsor Hotel.
Nevertheless, this is not the end of the building
Nevertheless, this is not the end of the building. In the mid-1950's, the management of the hotel was passed from the national administration to the Giant Mountains hotels and the hotel was renamed Social House (Společenský dům). In 1988, the hotel burnt down.
In was only in 1996, when the whole of the hotel was reconstructed and rebuilt. The hotel was reopened and given back its name - the Windsor Hotel***.
Eleven years later, the owners completed the wellness annexe and the hotel got its fourth star.
