The Meran Hotel was built in the years 1895 -
1906 by the Hájek family on a narrow building site originally
considered unsuitable for a hotel structure. Despite of this
prejudice, it has become one of the most remarkable architectural
sights of the Wenceslas Square, together with the adjacent Evropa
Hotel. After the decease of Mr. Hájek - Father in 1937, the hotel
was passed to the hands of Son and Dughter, the inheritors, aged two
and three respectively. | |

During the Nazi occupation in Word War II, the hotel
was a German property under the name of the LUNA Hotel. The
war ended, the property was restituted to the Hájek family
with its original name of the MERAN HOTEL. Nationalized in
1954, the Meran Hotel under its name disappeared, merged with
the Evropa Hotel.
