He then switched to pair skating with Veronika Havlíčková. In 2006, he began competing with Laura Magitteri representing Italy.[4] They were the 2007 & 2008 Italian national champions. Their partnership ended in January, 2009.[5]
Hotárek teamed up with Stefania Berton in early 2009.[6] They won the silver medal at 2010 Italian Nationals and were selected to compete at the World Championships. They placed 11th in their debut at the event.
During the 2010-11 season, Berton and Hotárek won silver at the Nebelhorn Trophy and also debuted on the Grand Prix circuit, finishing sixth at Cup of Russia.
