Fairmont Golden Prague reopened its doors as one of the year’s most anticipated luxury launches, not just for its modern elegance but for the way it revives one of Prague’s most iconic 1970s buildings. Standing along the Vltava River, the hotel blends Czech design, global flair, and the vibrant spirit of a city that balances heritage with contemporary sophistication. It delivers a stay that feels artistic, warm, and deeply rooted in Prague’s architectural identity.
The hotel embraces the bold modernist architecture of the 1970s and transforms it into a luxurious visual statement. Wide glass façades, sculptural windows, and colored glass panels create a bright, gallery-like atmosphere throughout the property. Instead of masking its original structure, the redesign celebrates it turning mid-century elements into a refined contemporary aesthetic that attracts guests seeking a hotel with character and story.
Before its rebirth, the building housed the legendary InterContinental Prague an iconic address that welcomed presidents, celebrities, and global figures. After a complete redesign led by Czech investors and local artisans, the hotel now serves as a showcase for Czech craftsmanship, glasswork, and artistic identity. Its revived story adds emotional depth to the guest experience, making the stay not just luxurious but culturally meaningful.
Guest rooms balance the clean geometry of modernism with soft, warm touches. Locally crafted glass lighting, calm color palettes, and geometric textiles create a restful atmosphere. Stone-finished bathrooms and thoughtful lighting add comfort, while the sweeping river and city views turn each room into a living painting. The result is an inviting retreat that blends simplicity with elegance.
Perched at the top, Zlata Praha restaurant gives guests panoramic views especially breathtaking at sunset. The menu draws inspiration from European ingredients with modern culinary techniques. Additional dining venues across the hotel bring together Czech flavors and global appetizers, delivering dishes that focus on quality, precision, and beautiful presentation.
The spa offers one of Prague’s most serene wellness experiences, featuring a dual indoor-outdoor pool, three saunas, and treatment rooms that incorporate Czech crystals and advanced relaxation methods. Designed as a peaceful escape, the spa overlooks surrounding gardens, giving guests a sense of calm away from the city’s rhythm and making it a key attraction for travelers seeking balance and downtime.
