What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Housed in a former Art Deco landmark, it still carries the elegance of its 1930s origins, but with a sharper, more present-day outlook.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked onto Štěpánská Street in New Town, the hotel sits steps from Wenceslas Square and the historic Lucerna Passage.
The rooms
Herringbone oak floors and curated Czech paintings anchor rooms featuring limestone bathrooms with heated floors and walk-in rainfall showers.
Sauna and massage
A wood-lined dry sauna sits beside a private treatment room for massage therapies arranged with Mystic Temple Spa.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights line the gym floor beneath warm terracotta ceilings and mirrored walls.
Dogs stay too.
Alcron Bar
Drinks are poured over a long red marble counter, with cocktail recipes drawn from the hotel's 1930s lore.
At the table
Brasserie 1932 serves plant-forward Czech dishes beneath crystal chandeliers and a restored Art Deco dance mural.
How it began
Architect Alois Krofta opened the Art Deco landmark in 1932, quickly drawing luminaries from Charlie Chaplin to Ella Fitzgerald.
