Hotel Josef

Prague, Czech Republic

Activities

  • Wander over to Old Town Square, see the Astronomical Clock and climb to the building above it for a fabulous view.

  • Meander around Mala Strana’s picturesque warren of streets, head up to Prague Castle and the cathedral, then farther still up the hill to Strahov Monastery, to peer through at door at its amazing libraries.

  • Explore the old Jewish quarter where Josef is situated, visiting various synagogues, and the Old Jewish Cemetery.

  • Look at Frank Gehry's famous Fred and Ginger building on the River Vltava, named as it appears to 'dance' like the famous couple, Astaire and Rogers. At its conception, it was a controversial design, juxtaposed against all the beautiful Classical and Gothic architecture of Prague, but it is now considered iconic

  • Stroll down to bustling Wenceslas Square, visit the upside-down horse sculpture in Lucerna Shopping Passage, and take tea in the fantastical, epic, Art Nouveau tearoom Kavárna Obecni Dum among the characters and chandeliers.

  • Attend a glorious classical concert in an outrageously grand church or concert hall, or sashay down to a jazz club for a sultry evening of superb live jazz or blues.

  • Work out in the snazzy fitness centre on the terrace.

Save to favouritesPrintMailHotel JosefDesigned by Czech-born Eva Jiricna, this is a cool, modernist 109-[r:PR010:room] hotel that appears on every Prague hip list. The location is fantastic: within 10 minutes’ walk of Old Town square, it’s tucked away in a side street. Although close to the tourist hotspots, it feels like a corner of real Prague. Reception adjoins a large, open dazzling-white bar-café area, which has a dramatic glass and steel spiral staircase that curls down to the basement. Two buildings, Pink and Orange, face each other across a grassy courtyard. It’s all head-to-toe designer minimalism, with lots of glass, white, perspex, and shots of colour. Jelly-hued chairs by Philippe Starck decorate the glass-sided walkway between the two buildings, differentiated only by the colour of room numbers outside the doors. Striking to look at and tranquil to inhabit, Josef feels welcoming and warm, a sign of good management from Austrian Manfred Tobolka and team. The attention to detail gives it that extra edge, and it feels equally appropriate for tourists and business folk.
