Grand Hotel Europa, Art Nouveau palace hotel in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The Grand Hotel Europa stands at Wenceslas Square with a distinctive facade combining geometric patterns and ornamental Art Nouveau elements across five floors.
Built in 1872 as U Archivevody, the structure underwent a complete transformation between 1903 and 1905 under architects Josef Schulz and Bedřich Bendelmayer.
The hotel gained recognition in 1912 when Franz Kafka held his first and only public reading within these decorated walls.
Located 700 meters from Prague Main Railway Station and 20 kilometers from Vaclav Havel Airport, the property offers direct access to public transportation.
The hotel interiors served as filming locations for international productions including Mission Impossible and several Czech motion pictures.
