Hand-blown glass, sculpted wood, and gilded fixtures run through the interiors, while six dining venues, including rooftop Zlata Praha, offer varied views of the city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Positioned where Pařížská Street meets the Vltava River, the hotel sits steps from the historic Jewish Quarter and Old Town Square.
The rooms
Interiors feature dark oak, geometric textiles, and warm stone bathrooms with standalone tubs and sliding glass doors textured like rainwater.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated water flows through automatic glass doors between the timber-ceilinged indoor pool and an outdoor terrace with hydrotherapy loungers.
The spa and gym
Treatment suites look out onto the garden, set beside three saunas, a steam bath, and a courtyard-facing fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Zlatá Praha serves seasonal tasting menus high above Old Town spires, and Golden Eye pours cocktails under curved gold ceilings.
Rising above it all is the geometric magnificence of Seventies modernism realised in concrete and golden tiles – all texture and shadow.
How it began
Built in 1974 to host Cold War dignitaries, the brutalist landmark underwent a meticulous restoration to showcase Czech craft and cinema.
“Located inside a brutalist landmark built in 1974 right in the UNESCO-endorsed Old Town, this hotel reopened in April 2025 after a much-needed gut renovation.”
