After Nine Months, Holiday Inn Prague Completes Renovation And Unveils New Premises

Holiday Inn Prague has successfully completed an extensive renovation of the hotel lobby. Guests have been able to use the new Open Lobby since mid-June. They include the reception, two new meeting rooms, a pop-up, a foyer suitable for coffee breaks, the Esprit restaurant, the Délicatesse bistro with an open kitchen and summer terrace and the Bites & Wine bar. The renovation which took a total of nine months was done while the hotel was in full operation.

"We are absolutely satisfied with the result," says Kamil Zlomek, the hotel's director. The architect of the IHG® Hotels & Resorts group, which owns the hotel franchise, also praised the final appearance. "According to him, this is one of the most impressive renovations, it is fantastic," adds Kamil Zlomek. The renovation was entrusted with full confidence to architect Jan Mackovič from the architectural studio mackovič architecture s. r. o.
 
As a result of the reconstruction, the Open Lobby was created. It is a completely new, modern format that changes the traditional form of the hotel lobby by connecting public areas such as the reception, lobby, restaurant, bistro and bar to create one open, integrated space. This concept was created by analysing the needs of guests who want not only to work but also to relax and have fun.
 
During the festive Open Lobby Party, Lenka Žlebková, General Director of the Prague Congress Centre, under whose manage ment the hotel also falls, praised the successful reconstruction: "I would like to thank our shareholders and investors, which are the City of Prague and the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, for investing funds in our hotel after 22 years. At the same time, I thank the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, past and present, who have supported this investment and continue to support us. I would also like to thank the contractor Capexus for their communication and positive attitude and the project manager Richard Smisek, without whom we would have had a hard time completing the project. However, I would especially like to thank all the employees of the hotel. It has been a challenging nine months, and yet we have not closed for a single day."
 
The Open Lobby party also introduced a new gastronomic concept based on ingredients from local farmers who use proven, honest and traditional forms of processing, production and bree ding with respect for natural resources and the environment. This concept allows guests to get exactly what they need at any time of the day. Whether it's an all-day menu, a drink at the bar or a seat in the bistro or on the terrace. Of course, there is also the option to take food and drinks with you to your room.
 
The main purpose of the entire renovation is not only to moder nize the hotel but also to make it more accessible to the general public, not only to hotel guests.
