The recently renovated Almanac X Alcron Hotel has more to offer than just peace and quiet, though. There’s also plenty to discover. And no wonder, this is one of the marvels of interwar Prague, whose name was synonymous with la crème de la crème. The Alcron was built in the early 1930s by Alois Krofta, an architect and visionary hotelier in one. He chose a location a few steps from Wenceslas Square and made it a legend. In its heyday, the Alcron was considered Prague’s top hotel, and its current reincarnation is proud to take on this glorious mantle.

Behind the discreet façade, there’s an interior that retains the best of the geometric Art Deco beauty, while offering all the mod cons you could ask for. Right now, there’s nothing to prevent the bride from falling asleep on the comfortable bed or enjoying a drink while Prague lies spread out at her feet. These moments are set aside for the important person – herself. But soon it’s time to swap her satin lounge wear for a gown with a train. The doors open wide, revealing a festive table, the extravagant cake is set directly on the marble table top creating a decadent still life. The bride enters, reflecting the ubiquitous gold of her surroundings and reminiscent of Adele from Gustav Klimt’s painting. The moment for composing yourself has passed, dear bride, so lengthen your stride, show your best side, and let the wedding commence.
