Design Hotel Josef

Staré Město


Designed by London-based Czech architect Eva Jiřičná, the Josef was one of Prague’s first stylish contemporary hotels. The minimalist theme evident in the stark, white lobby (with its glass spiral staircase) is continued in the bedrooms, where things are kept clean and simple with plenty of subtle neutral tones. The glass-walled en suites are especially attractive, boasting extra-large rainfall shower heads and glass bowl basins.
