Hotel Cerny Slon - A 14th-century Gothic hotel with medieval dining room and wine cellar in Prague's Old Town

Located in a listed historic building from 1359, Hotel Cerny Slon stands 164.0 ft from Old Town Square in Prague's medieval heart. This 4-star Prague hotel features Gothic vaulted ceilings and hand-painted 15-foot decorative ceilings in second-floor rooms. The restaurant, set under 14th-century Gothic arches, serves Czech and international cuisine, while the Bandol cellar bar offers fine wines. All 16 rooms include minibars, safes, and bathrooms with bidets, tubs, and complimentary toiletries. Third-floor attic rooms feature air conditioning, while second-floor accommodations are accessible by elevator. Free WiFi covers all areas of Cerny Slon. The property sits 1312.3 ft from Staromestska subway station and a 10-minute walk from Charles Bridge.

Pros

Historic building witnessed visits from notable figures including Tycho Brahe and Václav Havel

Restaurant serves traditional Czech dishes in medieval Gothic-vaulted dining room

Wine bar established in historic vaulted cellar

Located on a quiet side street next to Tyn Church and historic Ungelt grounds

Cons

Elevator serves only first two floors; stairs required for third floor access

Limited on-site parking (nearby secure garage parking available for fee)

“Staying here places you steps from Old Town Square, yet inside, the restaurant's Gothic arches whisper of a still older Prague. I think the blend of that prime location with such historical character makes it a distinctive choice, especially for families or anyone wanting to explore the city's heart.”
