Vintage Design Hotel Sax

About this hotel

Vintage Design Hotel Sax is situated in four-storey boutique building dated from the 14th century, served as an orphanage in 16th century, a hospital for the poor in 18th century, an apartment block in 19 and 20th century and in 1994 was converted into a hotel. The interior of the hotel has extraordinary inventive design of the 50s/ liberal pop-culture of the 60s and futuristic experiments of the 70s created by architects Nadi Sádovská and Jaromír Pitzinger.

The interior collection goes beyond general "50s/60s/70s" styling to include original pieces by internationally recognised designers, among them Verner Panton, Marco Zanuso associate Cesare "Joe" Colani, Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames — furniture that is more commonly seen in design museums than in a working hotel. Combined with the building's long institutional history before its 1994 conversion, the result is a stay that functions almost as a small, walkable exhibit of mid-century design as much as accommodation.

Location

Vintage Design Hotel Sax has superb location in the heart of Lesser Town, up the hill from Malostranske namesti Square with a view on the panorama of the Lesser Town with sights of the Strahov Monastery, Prague Castle and the Church of St. Nicolas. Tram station Malostranské náměstí is very close to this Hotel in Prague .

Jánský vršek, the steep lane the hotel sits on, is one of the quieter residential streets of Malá Strana, tucked into the hillside below Prague Castle rather than on one of the district's main tourist thoroughfares. The climb up from Malostranské náměstí means fewer passing crowds than streets closer to Charles Bridge, while still leaving the castle approach, the Church of St Nicholas, and the tram stop at Malostranské náměstí within a few minutes on foot.
