PRAGUE ISSUE 127 Sep 2008

Hotel Praha is a cantilevered modernist curve set in eight hectares of gardens and forest, built into a hilltop in one of Prague's finest residential neighbourhoods. A unique government-protected landmark, the early 1980s architecture is clean and elegant - no chintz or lace curtains to be found here!

Although Hotel Praha is located in a big city, its ample grounds and hilltop location provide an unusual and welcome amenity: total peace and quiet. The property has hosted distinguished guests from around the world, and with 2,700 m2 of meeting space it has organised many important conferences and events.

Hotel Praha is famous as a set for movies, TV commercials, TV programs, music videos and many other similar projects. It has also provided accommodation for actors including Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Mads Mikkelsen, Adrian Brody, Tom Cruise, Mark Ruffalo, Rinko Kikuchi, Antonio Banderas, and many others. As well as famous actors, Hotel Praha has hosted many famous politicians and musicians, such as Crown Prince Naruhito, Mikhail Gorbachev, James Brown and Montserrat Caballé.
