How restoration and extension were brought together around a 176-room city-centre hotel concept.
The project in context
A concept for the comprehensive restoration and extension of a protected city-centre building, planned around a 176-room hospitality programme.
A city hotel has to connect a memorable guest experience with efficient daily operation. Location and architectural identity matter, but so do circulation, servicing, room planning, and adaptability.
A successful hotel conversion connects the identity of the address with the realities of daily operation.
Connecting experience with operation
The hospitality programme gives the protected building a clear operational future while the proposed extension supports the capacity the use requires.
Hospitality planning brings public spaces, guest rooms, back-of-house functions, and the surrounding city into one sequence. Each part needs to support both the visitor and the operating team.
Keeping an urban hotel relevant
Guest expectations and travel patterns continue to change. A strong city-centre identity, practical planning, and spaces that can evolve give a hospitality asset a more durable place in its market.
For Jindřišská 16, long-term relevance comes from protecting the project’s defining idea while allowing its spaces, operation, and relationship with Prague historic core to respond as needs evolve.
