| Hotel At The Three Storks - luxury hotel in Prague
Welcome to a newly open luxury boutique hotel situated in the
historical heart of Prague, in Tomášská street,
Lesser Town. We offer
you a singular and original ambient designed by AI DESIGN architectural
studio in cooperation with Eva Jiřičná Architects atelier in London,
sensitively set in the premises of the historical house At the Three
Storks, thus creating perfect harmony between the extant Renaissance
interior and the most advanced design.
During the reconstruction of the
house, major emphasis was put on application of clear line and
combination of natural materials, metal, stone, glass and wood. Highly
unconventional interior design may be found in the hotel reception and
lobby bar dominated by a reception desk and a bar, both made of
illumined cut stone. Another interesting feature is a panoramic lift
finely incorporated in the old architecture, faciliating access to
individual guest rooms.
The hotel offers accommodation in 10 double De Luxe rooms, 8
standard double rooms and 2 single rooms. The low number of rooms
warrants intimacy and hominess of a small hotel, whereas at the same
time meets international
five-star service quality standards.
The hotel is situated in the picturesque quiet neighbourhood of
Lesser Town bellow majestic Prague castle, in the near vicinity of
attractive and interesting tourist sights and renowned restaurants.
The first mentions of the house, sometimes also called Altmann
House or House At the Kings Magi, date back to the 14th century when, in
this locality, the Augustinian Order founded the first Monasterial
Brewery of St.Thomas. The only reminder of this period preserved until
today is a large Gothic cellar. In the first half of the 17th century,
the house was reconstructed in the Rennaisance style and given the name
of House At the Three Storks and a house sign with the embossment of
three storks.
Today´s appearance of the facade comes from the Classicist
reconstruction in 1794 and 1820, when the connection with three
neighbouring buildings resulted in the current aspect of the whole
house. The facade with the house sign on a stone plaque and the main
portal date precisely from this period.
In the 1930´s, the history of the renowned Wallenstein
restaurant, named after famous Czech aristocratic family and frequented
by number of well-known personalities, started evolving in this house.
The name of the House At the Three Storks has its implication.
The stork used to be a carrier of good news and blissful home. We
strongly believe that every visit to this house will comply with the
Latin saying originally placed under the house sign: "Frustra mundus
invidet, quando Deus providet" - "The world envies in vain, when God
takes care". |
