The Julius Prague nears opening
The Julius Prague has revealed images for the first time ahead of its opening in July. Founded by the Julius Meinl family, retail pioneers and creators of Viennese food emporium Julius Meinl am Graben, The Julius draws on a 160-year legacy of service, quality and innovation, and marks the family’s first entry into hotels.
Designed by architecture and design firm Matteo Thun & Partners, The Julius balances luxury and modern design with warmth, comfort and convenience. Evoking timelessness and spirit of European hospitality through a modern mindset, The Julius offers a place to relax, explore, work and treat as a home in the city.
Accommodations cater for both short and long-term stays in generously sized residences, while communal areas, lounges and co-working spaces enable guests to network, meet like-minded people or simply unplug.
Whether staying for one night, one month or more, guests experience the freedom of apartment living, with hassle-free access, easy-to-use technology and flexible amenities. Each booking is tailored to the needs of the guest, providing options such as an address for deliveries and detailed guides to help navigate the city.
The Julius Prague is housed within a large scale Neo-Renaissance building in the heart of the New Town, just steps from Prague’s Old Town gates. A central light-filled conservatory sits at the heart of the historic structure and directly connects communal areas with access to the property’s 168 individual residences.
Residences, communal areas and restaurants feature soft furnishings and a warm, clean colour palette, inspired by the works of the celebrated Czech artist Alphonse Mucha. The Emporium bistro and bar is a hub within the property and serves as a space for lunch or relaxed working during the day, before the lighting dims to a relaxed atmosphere, encouraging guests to enjoy the evening drinks and food menu. Sleek metallic finishes feature alongside modern tilework and coloured seating, providing an understated feel of luxury.
Residences are equipped with a living room and bedroom space, and in most cases an open-plan kitchen. Pastel colours continue alongside oak wood floors, soft linen sheets and contemporary bathrooms.
“For over 160 years, the Julius Meinl name has been synonymous with finesse, tradition and quality,” says Julius Meinl Vl., co-founder and CEO of The Julius. “Honouring our founding principles, the creation of The Julius is an exciting moment to not only look back on our legacy but to also establish a new future. It offers a chance to bring the expertise, experience and enthusiasm of the Julius Meinl family to a new sphere of hospitality, to a new audience and to new destinations. Good customer service, quality products and an environment to embrace innovation – three simple yet fundamental values that underpin everything we do.”
Following the opening, Julius Meinl will expand into new locations, with further details to be announced.
