W Prague

The W Prague on Wenceslas Square is identified by its ornate, turn-of-the-twentieth-century Art Nouveau façade, which features verdigris and gold ironwork balconies, red window mullions, and a gilded sculpture crowning its pediment. Originally constructed in eighteen seventy-two and dramatically rebuilt between nineteen oh five and nineteen oh six, the building served for decades as the Grand Hotel Evropa. In the interwar years, under the ownership of Karel Šroubek, it became one of the most glamorous addresses in Central Europe.
