Hotel Europa

The Hotel Europa in Prague was built in 1889 and first called “At The Archduke Stephan” – after Stephan Franz Victor of Harbsburg-Lorraine (1817-1867). This glorious building is a landmark of downtown Prague situated on Wenceslas Square.

The stunning art nouveau style dates to a rebuilding started in 1903 by two of the most famous Czech architects of that era. The interior is equally stunning, and has a delightful faded elegance; this is an hotel of another era and it hasn’t made the journey to 2007 without a few wrinkles! The Cafe Europa is worth a visit, just to enjoy the decorative interior and watch the world go by on busy Wenceslas Square. The interior has been used by film crews – “Mission Impossible” staring Tom Cruise for example.

Sounds swanky? Think again. Some of the rooms are rated 2 Star with no TV, shared bathroom, and no mini bar! In fact Hotel Europa even has a student floor!
