Hyatt has announced the opening of Andaz Prague, the first Hyatt hotel in the country, and the fifth Andaz hotel in Europe.
Designed by Brime Robbins, the 176-room hotel is located on Senovážné Square, within the historical ‘Sugar Palace’ that dates back to 1916, originally built for the influential Sugar Industry Insurance Association. The building has since been carefully restored and preserved.
A juxtaposition of heritage and modernity, Andaz Prague encapsulates the local culture that surrounds it while offering unparalleled luxury and comfort designed to elevate the senses.
The accommodation captures and combines the city’s rich heritage with modern creativity to deliver a luxurious respite with breath-taking city views. The rooms offer comfortable beds, many that are guarded by Bruncvík’s lion atop the blue velvet bedposts, which is a reference to one of many Czech legends that inspired the entire concept of the property.
Prague’s bohemian luxury is embodied within the suites, including the spacious, corner Residence Suites that feature windows that open to views of Prague’s Dancing Fountain. The palatial 1,400ft2 Penthouse Suite offers stylish, handcrafted furnishings, ornate mouldings, a marble fireplace and an exquisite sunroom.
Both guests and locals will delight in a modern Czech gastronomy within ZEM, which serves a combination of bistro dishes created with haute cuisine methods. Local ingredients coming from Moravia and Bohemia are crafted into modern versions of Czech comfort food through, using high-quality ingredients and natural flavours. The menu also honours the influences of authentic Nikkei, which include Japanese meat dishes from the charcoal grill and handmade dumplings. The standalone MEZ bar delivers signature cocktails, infused with local ingredients and inspired by the historical figures of Prague.
The Andaz Studios include three flexible event spaces that can accommodate anything from boardroom meetings to intimate private dinners, or can be combined into one large 1,615ft2 space for conferences, receptions and corporate events. The unique meeting spaces are inspired by Prague bygone sugar barons that used the building in the early 20th century. Meeting spaces Collegium 1 and 2 feature magnificent, high, ornate ceilings and oak parquet flooring, with sunlight flooding these rooms through their grand windows.
