Come aboard Hotel Kapitán for an unforgettable journey where stunning lake views, refreshing nature, and endless activities create the perfect holiday escape for everyone.
Welcome to Hotel Kapitán
Beautiful nature, hiking trails, wonderful walks, relaxation and clean crystal air around you...
Nature has a way of captivating us with its beauty, and Seč Ústupky in the Czech Republic is no exception. With hiking trails that wind through lush forests and along the shores of the serene Seč Lake, it's a paradise for nature lovers.
As you make your way through the woods, you'll be surrounded by the clean, crystal air that fills your lungs and invigorates your senses. It's a feeling of pure relaxation, as if all your worries have been left behind.
The combination of beautiful surroundings and physical activity is a potent antidote to stress and anxiety, and you'll leave feeling refreshed and renewed.




Meet Your Captain
Hotel Kapitán isn't just another corporate hotel. It's a family story, a personal journey, and a genuine commitment to authentic hospitality.

FORMER SEA CAPTAIN
Now Your Hotel Captain
Daniël ZuiddamOwner & Your Personal Host
At 38, Daniël embodies the authentic spirit of Hotel Kapitán. A former sea captain from Rotterdam, he took over this family business in 2012 and has poured his heart into creating something truly special.
After years managing the hotel remotely while pursuing his maritime career, Daniël made the life-changing decision in 2024 to return to Seč full-time. True to his Rotterdam mentality of "niet lullen, maar poetsen" (don't just talk, get to work), he's been hands-on with every aspect of the hotel's renovation.
This isn't a corporate chain or faceless hospitality group. When you stay at Hotel Kapitán, you're welcomed into Daniël's vision of genuine, down-to-earth hospitality where every guest is treated like family.
