Alcron Hotel

Top choice in Prague


Located just a few minutes' walk from Wenceslas Square, this five-star hotel is the modern reincarnation of the 1930s Alcron Hotel, and has long been favoured by celebrities and diplomats. Many of the original art-deco marble-and-glass fittings have been preserved, including in the beautiful, Michelin-starred Alcron restaurant, and the renovations have been far more tastefully executed than in many other refurbished Prague hotels.
