W Prague

Character and identity

Opened in December 2024 inside the 1905 Grand Hotel Evropa shell, W Prague reworks a landmark art nouveau address with a maximalist contemporary overlay. The "gold elixir" concept runs from the façade through the 161 rooms and suites across heritage and new buildings, with Mucha-inspired embroidered curtains nodding to Czech artistic heritage. Public spaces stack up: the W Lounge flips from daytime coffee to evening cocktails and opens onto a garden, Above Rooftop trades on city views, Le Petit Beefbar au Grand Café handles brasserie meat-forward cooking, and Minus One layers a speakeasy and performance venue underground. Away Spa adds a Finnish sauna, hydrotherapy circuit, steam room and whirlpool.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What you're booking here is a piece of bold contemporary design grafted onto a heritage Prague address, with the food, bar and spa programme to match. Splash out on the 990-square-foot Extreme Wow suite if the emerald-and-bronze theatrics appeal; otherwise a city-view room in the heritage wing captures the building's character. Early-opening rates are worth catching before the property settles in.
