Property Description
The Fairmont Golden Prague is a significant example of Central European Brutalist architecture, designed by Karel Filsak between 1968 and 1974. Located in the historic center of Prague along the banks of the Vltava River (known as Moldau in German), this iconic hotel provides guests with stunning river views. Directly across the river lies the beautiful Letná Gardens, which offer a picturesque landscape that blooms in spring, showcases lush greenery in summer, and displays vibrant autumn colors.The hotel has a storied history, beginning in 1974 when it opened as the Intercontinental Hotel. Over the decades, the hotel has hosted numerous celebrities, including Ray Charles, Elton John, Meryl Streep, Michael Jackson, and Luciano Pavarotti. It has also welcomed U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, as well as Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Hillary Rodham Clinton.The hotel itself showcases a blend of concrete, glass, and wood, embodying a carefully crafted "Gesamtkunstwerk," where every detail reflects artistic intent. In 2019, company R2G Heritage purchased the hotel and in 2020 initiated a major top-to-bottom renovation, investing over 130 million euros. The renovation aims to restore the hotel's original grandeur by preserving masterpieces created by Czech artists, such as René Roubí?ek's crystal chandeliers and Miroslav Hejný's sculptures, and incorporating additional Czech art and crafting throughout the property. The hotel was taken over by the Fairmont brand. The building is heritage protected and listed as an architecturally significant structure by the Conservation Office of Prague City Council. Sustainability is a key focus of the project, featuring geothermal energy systems to replace conventional heating and cooling methods. The building envelope has been upgraded for better energy efficiency, while increased green spaces and innovative water management practices—like rainwater harvesting—enhance the urban ecosystem. New water features, such as fountains and ponds, aim to improve the area's microclimate.
