The Charles

This historic building with Baroque-style furniture and wooden beamed ceilings dates back to 1857 and represents the romantic charm of the historical Mala Strana (Lesser Town) quarter.

This architecturally interesting medieval building of the romantic Hotel Charles Prague offers the highest international standards of comfort and convenience while maintaining the charm of the historical and romantic setting of the Lesser Town - Mala Strana. The building is an original Gothic residential house, built in the middle of the 13th century when defensive ditches and ramparts were replaced by buildings and streets. Remains of previous ramparts are still preserved in the basement.

The house was burnt down during the Hussite wars and then renewed again in 1503. Expensive renovations were carried out during the Renaissance period, in the second half of the 16th century. The third floor was built in baroque style in 1686. The Lion's masks on the facade of third floor facing Mostecka street are the patrons of the building. The early-Baroque portal is visible from Josefska Street. In 1865 the staircase leading from the basement all the way to the attic was built.

The Charles Hotel Prague was established in 1890. The last renovation was done in 2008.

The Hotel Charles Prague has 24 above-standard large rooms and 6 romantic suites on 4 floors, connected by a modern lift. All of them feature Baroque-style furniture and original wooden beamed ceilings. All rooms of the Charles Hotel Prague have a private bathroom with shower or bathtub.
