Hotel Andel's Design

About this hotel

The hotel Andel's of Prague was designed to be the heart of an entirely new building complex called "Andel City". It brings a whole new dimension of style and hospitality to Hotels in Prague . It is a four-star plus hotel, which strives to provide everything for its demanding guests: comfortable, stylish rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, a top notch health and relaxation centre, great dining and a very modern conference centre.

The hotel was designed by the British architecture practice Jestico + Whiles as the centrepiece of the wider Anděl City redevelopment, one of the largest urban regeneration projects undertaken in Prague after 1989, transforming a formerly industrial stretch of Smíchov. Guests enter through an oversized pivoting door into a lobby lined with textured limestone and roughly hewn stone, where a marble-topped reception desk and semi-transparent, metallic-threaded curtains give the space a distinctly contemporary character. At its centre, a staircase enclosed by etched-glass walls offers a modern reinterpretation of the grand staircases found in Prague's older hotels.

Location: The hotel is excellently placed in the heart of Prague, on the left bank of the river, in a part of the "Smichov" district. All the historical sites can be reached in no time by public transport, or also on foot. "Novy Smichov: is an upscale shopping centre where you can find just about anything you need. The Andel are is a crossroads for the underground metro, and many trams have routes passing through the area.

Location

The Anděl area takes its name from a former Golden Angel pharmacy that once stood nearby, and it has become one of Prague's busiest transport hubs, with the Anděl metro station on line B connecting guests directly to the Old Town and city centre in a few stops. Adjoining the hotel's Anděl City complex is the striking Zlatý Anděl building designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, one of Smíchov's most recognisable pieces of contemporary architecture. The district is also home to the Staropramen brewery, one of the Czech Republic's major beer producers, and lies within walking distance of Bertramka, the villa where Mozart stayed and worked while in Prague, now a small museum dedicated to him.
