W Hotels opens first Czech Republic property in Prague

Marriott International has opened its first W Hotel in the Czech Republic with the debut of the W Prague.

The lifestyle brand has been expanding in continental Europe with the opening of the W Rome and W Budapest in recent years.

The latest outpost is based in the former Grand Hotel Evropa in Prague’s historic Wenceslas Square. The original hotel dates from 1872.

W Prague includes 161 rooms and suites, as well as public areas such as the W Lounge and the Above Rooftop bar with views across the city. There are also seven rooms available to be hired for meetings and events.

George Fleck, senior vice president and global brand leader of W Hotels, said: “W Prague fuses the enchanted history of the storied destination with bold, visionary design, creating an experience that both honours the city’s deep cultural legacy and embraces its vibrant, modern energy.

“This opening is a further representation of W Hotels momentum in Europe and beyond, setting a fresh standard for what luxury can mean in the heart of such a beloved city.”
