Prague’s Landmark Riverside Brutalist Hotel Reopens as Fairmont, Combining History and Upscale Design

The reopening of one of Prague’s ultimate luxury hotels marks one of the most significant moments in the city’s recent hospitality history. Formerly the InterContinental Prague, the landmark brutalist building has reopened as the Fairmont Golden Prague after a five-year, $200 million restoration. It is the first Fairmont property in both the Czech Republic and Central Europe.

“It’s one of the largest hotel transformations Central Europe has seen in years,” said Karolina Jovanovic, marketing communication manager at Fairmont Golden Prague. “The architect wanted to show respect for the building’s legacy while giving it a new life that meets today’s expectations for luxury.”
