Hotel Okresní dům, Cultural center and monument in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.

Hotel Okresní dům is a four-star establishment in central Hradec Králové offering 21 rooms in various configurations, from standard double rooms to luxury suites and a presidential apartment. The building combines the function of a modern hotel with its status as a protected cultural monument.

The building was constructed between 1903 and 1904 to a design by Jan Kotěra, after mayor František Ulrich began negotiations with him in 1901. It was Kotěra's first commission in Hradec Králové and his first project of this scale. The builder was Robert Schmidt, with Kotěra supervising, and it was completed in October 1904. In 1910 it was physically connected to the neighbouring Grand Hotel, and Josef Fňouk altered the exterior and interior in 1921 and 1928.

The building's name comes from its role as the district office for the Okresní zastupitelstvo and městská rada. The ground-floor café, part of the Grand Hotel from the start, was decorated with a mural by Jan Preisler; since 1923 a copy hangs there, while the original is in the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové. The building has been a protected cultural monument since 1958.

Each room features a flat-screen television with satellite channels, internet connection, and a minibar for guest convenience. Parking is available on-site, and the central location allows visitors to explore the city on foot.

The café wall painting was by Jan Preisler; since 1923 the original has hung in the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové, and a copy marks the spot. Kotěra's built-in furniture survives partly in place and partly in the Museum of Eastern Bohemia, but the Thonet chairs are gone.
