Scene
A historic and ornate Art Deco hotel
Old world glamour and history combine with a good mix of local and tourist traffic at the Art Deco Imperial Hotel. Built between 1913 and 1914, this hotel’s Art Deco/Art
Nouveau design not only shines, but takes guests back in time. The lobby is
spectacular with exquisite stained glass, a grand staircase, and elaborate tile
designs while ornate items such as statues and upscale, detailed carpets cover
the common areas. Plush, antique leather seating decorates the hotel and there
are free newspapers in the lobby. Cafe Imperial features herringbone patterned wood floors, granite-topped tables, and the original mosaic ceiling from 1914.
Large, bright windows help fill the wood paneled area with natural light and there
are lovely antique light fixtures. Prime Bar also fits into the historic feel with golden tray ceilings and plump red vintage couches. The luxurious feel of
this hotel comes down to all of the magnificent small details that combine to
create an authentic Art Deco experience.
Location
In the heart of Prague’s Old Town, many sights are within easy walking distance
The Art Deco Imperial Hotel is located on the corner of a busy road in the
center of Prague’s Old Town. Restaurants, shops,
and offices are within walking distance, as are the Palladium Shopping Centre,
Hybernia Theatre, Prague City Museum, Republic Square, and public transportation.
Since trams are free and busses/metro stations are under a two-minute walk
away, a rental car is not necessary to get around the city.
Rooms
Somewhat ordinary rooms with luxury accents like marble bathrooms with heated floors
Although not as remarkable as the common
areas, the rooms still have Art Deco style and posh tones in a good size space.
Detailed carpets in leopard and intriguing prints are set against vintage-style
tan curtains with large tassels while a unique envelope-style bedspread gives
the area some character. Large geometric gold mirrors cover the walls and all
rooms have photos of historic Art Deco details from the hotel hanging over
the bed. Some rooms also have antique pattern couches and wood armchairs. Well-stocked
minibars include various types of drinks and coffeemakers, bathrobes, and
slippers are in each room; upgraded rooms have Nespresso machines as well. Flat-screen
TVs rest on old school wood cabinets and some rooms have welcome fruit plates
and water. Even though rooms are soundproofed, some still have street noise.Brilliant multi-toned marble bathrooms
are sleek and rich with silver/gold antique fixtures, heated towel racks, and
heated floors. Speckled granite countertops have L’OCCITAN or Nature Philosophy
amenities in addition to makeup mirrors. All bathrooms have large tubs with
showers, but some have deep soaking tubs with jets and separate walk-in
showers. Each bathroom includes a scale as well as a lovely flowery scent.
