Description

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.

History

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".

Accommodation

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. All guest rooms are comfortably designed according to the latest fashion, while sensitively set in the premises of the historical house At the Three Storks. Extant painted wooden ceilings remind us of the overall Rennaisance and Baroque reconstruction of the house. The windows offer beautiful view over Prague Castle and Lesser Town rooftops. The rooms´ cosiness is underlined by original graphics by important Czech artist Adolf Born. All rooms have luxury bathrooms, with a tub or a shower, remarkably incorporated into the space. The rooms are equipped with individually adjustable air-conditioner, minibar, digital safe and direct dial telephone. In order to make the guests´s stay more enjoyable, LCD TV sets with satellite reception and DVD players with large offer of films have been installed in each room.
