Hyatt has opened its first property in the Czech Republic, with the unveiling of the Andaz Prague.
The 176-room hotel is located on Senovazne Square within the city’s former ‘Sugar Palace’ – a building dating back to 1916 which was originally built to house the headquarters of the Sugar Industry Insurance Association.
Features include corner Residence Suites with views of Prague’s Dancing Fountain, a fitness centre, Zem restaurant which offer “modern versions of Czech comfort food”, Mez bar, and three events space with ornate ceilings and oak parquet flooring.
The first Andaz hotel opened in 2007 in London, housed within the former Great Eastern Hotel, and there are currently 26 Andaz properties globally, but European expansion has been relatively slow.
Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht followed in 2012, followed by Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere and Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor in 2019.
Andaz Lisbon is also set to open in 2024, located in the city’s Baixa district on the pedestrianised Rua Augusta.
Commenting on the opening Doris Hecht, general manager at Andaz Prague, said:
“As the Andaz brand is known for stimulating the creativity and curiosity of each guest, we are honoured to introduce the brand to the Czech Republic.
“We are excited to welcome guests to Andaz Prague where we offer a unique experience through distinctive expressions of the local culture.
“The beautiful city of Prague continues to inspire many travellers to explore its rich offerings and Andaz Prague’s location offers guests the opportunity to take in some of the most stunning historic sites in Europe.”
