After opening its new Motel One Vienna State Opera, the Motel One Group has now opened its first hotel in a landmarked building, from the turn of the century, in Prague’s first district. The main railway station, the Republic Square as well as Charles Bridge and the Old Town’s Church of Our Lady in front of Tyn are all reachable by foot. The hotel lounge, which represents a living room, breakfast café and bar all in one, is decorated with handmade marionettes as a reminder of the theatre and puppet-play traditions of Prague. The chandeliers from the world famous Bohemian crystal glass in the bar reflect the baroque atmosphere of the city.
