Description:
The Hotel Praha is the most grotesque of the central-planners' whims. During the post-invasion 1970s, this terraced behemoth was built into a prime hill in the richest part of western Prague as a guesthouse for visiting party bosses, destroying any romantic notion that communism was all-for-one and one-for-all. It had all the brass, chrome, and marble veneer that Brezhnev and Castro could ever have wanted, resulting in a building that looks unintentionally kitschy. Before you dismiss the Praha as a relic, you might be interested to know that Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, and other celebrities have stayed here while filming in Prague. The draws are the fortresslike setting, massive guest rooms and bathrooms, private balconies, magnificent views of the city, and proximity to the airport.
