Kings Court Prague Deluxe Hotel

This patch of ground has seen some power moves. Historically, it held a massive Royal Palace. Sovereigns like Sigismund of Luxemburg and Jiří of Poděbrady lived here instead of at the seat of power at Prague Castle. Later, the palace fell apart. It spent the 18th and 19th centuries as a military academy and a barracks complex. The bank Živnostenská banka bought the decaying site in 1900. They cleared it to build a Palace of the Chamber of Trade and Commerce. Antonín Turek was the architect. He finished the facade by 1905. Matěj Blecha changed things in 1922 and another floor went on in 1956. Then GEMA ART GROUP did a huge renovation between 2007 and 2009. They saved the old facades and the stained glass. The Kings Court Prague Deluxe Hotel opened that November and turned the old bank into a five-star stay.

The spa is buried under the old foundations. It is a high-tech space for fixing your tired legs. Most city hotels treat gyms as an extra. Here, it is the main event. The wet zone has a pool kept at 32°C. It has a counter-current system. You can swim against the flow to get a workout in a small space. There is a Finnish sauna and a steam bath too. These help after a day on the hard cobblestones. You can relax in low light between sessions. The gym stays open 24 hours. Professionals use organic brands like Nobilis Tilia and Inlight for treatments. Entry is free for suite guests and those in executive rooms. Others pay a daily fee. This keeps the place quiet and never too crowded.

It has heaters and wind blocks so you can sit outside even in winter. You get a great view of the square. Breakfast is a big spread with fresh ingredients. It is very popular.
