bye hotel prague
 

time to search for another location for european summit in prague :) hotel praha have been bought by one of most rich guy in my country and the hotel will be demolished and new schools will be build there ... r.i.p., not remember it much, but what a great communistic architectural treasure ... :( just some off topic shit ... have a nice day and weekend everyone! :thumbsup

I could not believe how few rooms it had for being so massive in size.

yes, it was not for normal humans, it was for communistic elite and top visits in our country in communistic times. gorbachev and other bosses have been sleeping there :) good times ... for few :1orglaugh

:upsidedow

that why the event is moved to Budapest this year

can't find anything in Google about it being sold and closing.

the rich guy who bought it is donating it to the government to build a school on?

oh cool what a nice change :) cant wait ... :1orglaugh

i think there will be some private schools maybe for international clients ... there are just some informations in czech internet news

r.i.p. hotel praha :)

Kind a stupid to demolish it,why not just re-decorate it?Also i find it realy strange how that is only hotel with sufficent conference rooms in entire Prague(alteast Andreas said that)

Not, exactly. It is/was the only 5 star hotel that fit our group size, I meant. I looked at over 40 five star hotels in Prague, and the ones in the historic center are tiny (20-70 rooms) - so that does not work for us. And the large chain hotels (InterConti, Hilton, etc.) they got 400-700 rooms - so I cannot rent them exclusively - and I do like to believe that having an entire hotel to ourselves does improve the event overall.

Well, the Praha is the past - the Buddha Bar Hotel is the present :) And after that we will have to just wait and see where the journey leads us next :) Where would you like us to go next? :) :)

Looking forward to seeing all of you in Budapest in September - at what currently appears to turn out to become the largest Summit ever!

I will miss Prague and looking forward to Budapest as I'm sure Andreas and Walter will pull off a great show as usual! :pimp

even Brezniev was there ?

Incredible place, sad to hear it's being demolished.

Loved the size of the rooms :thumbsup

damn right out of the 70s

Loved Prague... loved Hotel Praha... I'm sure I'll love Budapest and the Buddah Bar hotel as well...

i'm sure it was poorly booked by regular guests or tourists - too far from the center

but it was kind of a time travel being in there

I dont know,i am still kind a in shock.

Why would they do it? That is weird thing they want to destroy such nice place. Will a school bring him more money than hotel?

problem is that the current owner have his home right second to the hotel, so i bet he didnt liked the noise and so, now he will have his own open gate school for rich students from around the world ... so, good for him, but people hate that fucker from this point ... what a piece of motherfucking rich asshole ... :Oh crap :upsidedow btw the demolishing started already ...

just bumping about the history :)

Crazy,tho it is kind a unusual why they allowed him to crush as it is some sort of cultural/historic monument,think in my country such thing would not be allowed.And the reason for it's best,how it "cast a shadow " after 5 pm to his house lol

yeah, thats czech republic. the whole hotel have been nominated for cultural monument, or how to say that, and there have been no problem, because of all those interiors and all those treaures inside, but meanwhile the process have been completed, whole interiors have been sold item by item, so at the end the building was not that special so no cultural monument sign, no reason not to sell it ... fucking crap, this is czech republic, welcome lol :1orglaugh :Oh crap :upsidedow

interesting, but what a poorly edited video, with those construction sounds each time they show a picture of how it was. Annoying as fuck and doesn't add anything.

Yes, it is a pity. I started to like it. The hotel kind of grew on you event after event. Not the most beautiful hotel, but definitely "different" :-)

I liked it :2 cents::thumbsup

I will be shocked to see how we will fit in this current parkhotel praha that the show is at. I looked at it on google maps, and it's like 12-15 meters wide at most?

https://www.google.pl/maps/@50.10188...m1 !1e1?hl=en

Compare the building width to the width of the red car in the parking there...

It will be fine Konrad. No worries. :)

As you can see only the top of the hotel is that narrow. The ground floor is wider (see the white building more to the right from the main building).

And there is another level below (gets daylight from the other side), and 2 huge terraces, if the weather is nice.

But agreed - it is not the size of the Hotel Praha - that thing was a monster! :)

Is there anything around it? I'm looking on google maps and all I can see is a train station, trams, busses, etc. Any old town or anything near?

It is strange that you worry about such a thing. I mean they know how many people can fit there and would not organize the event if it could not fit the people. It is not like their first organized event, so there is impossible to make such a mistake.

Nothing is impossibe! But, we will be fine. I am sure. The hotel is a lot larger inside than it looks from the outside ;-)

It is about half way between where our old hotel was and the city center. About a 5 minute taxi ride to the center.

crazy shit in this thread! I'd like to rent an apartment for my guys and me for the Prague trip, is there a page you recommend other than booking.com? ;P

airbnb.com would be the first one that comes to mind...
