The 5-star NH Collection Prague Carlo IV, housed in a heritage-protected neo-renaissance palace, has revealed a design overhaul to provide upgraded services and an ambiance of a past splendor with all modern comforts for its discerning clientele.
The majestic lobby pays homage to the former bank‘s terminal hall, with refurbished wooden frames on the original bank teller’s windows. The ceiling regained its former appearance of square glass panes, affording more light. Elegant seating in beige, light grey, and hues of brown and green mirror the earth colors of the giant palm trees, which adorn the lobby once again as they did when the hotel first opened in 2003.
The dining venues have also undergone a renaissance. A new lobby bar is a welcome addition to the opulent hall. The hotel’s multifunctional restaurant, aptly named “1890” after the year in which the neo-renaissance palace opened as the First Mortgage Bank in former Bohemia, is located just behind the lobby hall. It follows its full length and affords ample space for guests with different seating options and intimate corners. A new menu will concentrate on tasting plates, whereas the 1890 lobby bar menu will offer sharing platters and a new twist on Czech staples.
The hotel’s wellness and spa facilities received brand-new tiling for its 66-foot-long heated pool and two whirlpools. In the second phase of the renovation, later in the year, an updated look is planned for the sauna and steam room.
Last but not least, the guest rooms in the historical wing have received a design update while still keeping their old-time attributes such as high ceilings, soft wooden floors, and marble bathrooms. The tastefully appointed rooms in the modern wing exude casual elegance and the bathroom redesign uplifts the guest experience.
