Hotel History
The building dates back to 1857 and consists of Late Gothic, Renaissance, and Neo-baroque features. The building, also known as 'The House at the Golden Eagle' and 'The House at the 3 Lambs', is under the protection of the memorial office and Czech National Heritage. Its historical parts restrict the range of reconstruction. The basement retains remains of a rampart approximately 4 meters deep. The first mentions of the purchasing of the house are from 1408, when shoemaker Veleslav, called Stemberk, bought the house from shoemaker Vaclav Jikrnac for an unknown price. The lion masks on the facade of the third floor facing Mostecka street are the patrons of the building. The house consists of a stoned staircase, squared wooden parquets in some parts of the rooms, painted beam ceiling, doors and original wall paintings in parts of the rooms.
Location and Access
The Charles is located in Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), featuring views across the Vltava river to the old town. The hotel is near Prague Castle, the Royal Gardens, St Nicholas Cathedral, Old Town Square, Jewish Town, and Petrin Hill. Hotel Charles is part of the Royal Road, which starts in Nuremberg and leads to Prague Castle through the Powder Tower, Wenceslas Square and across Charles Bridge. Nearby landmarks include the Dancing House (2 km), Petrin (1 km), Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock (1 km), StaromEstske namEsti (1 km), St. Vitus Cathedral (1 km), Clementinum (1 km), Wenceslas Square (2 km), Jewish Quarter walk (1 km), and Lennon Wall (0.3 km).
Hotel Services
The Charles offers 24-hour reception and laundry service. Facilities for disabled guests are available. Pets are allowed on request with a special supplement. The hotel provides daily housekeeping. Ironing facilities, heating, and air conditioning are available. The hotel gives two points for every night spent at the hotel that can be used to access museums, monuments, cultural events, and tours from licensed guides for free.
“I appreciate the hotel's historical setting, matched with its obviously spotless upkeep and genuinely helpful staff; the medieval architecture near Charles Bridge makes it ideal for couples wanting a bit of romance. Breakfast is plentiful, and the uniquely decorated, air-conditioned rooms offer modern comfort. A worthy choice in a vibrant area.”
