The Vaníček Hotel
Architect: Neznámý
Year of completion: 90. léta 20. století
On the slope of Strahov Hill, in Na Hřebenkách Street, you can find one of the most famous abandoned hotels in Prague. Once a four-star establishment with a view of Prague’s panorama, today it is only a devastated reminder of the wild 90s. The reason why Hotel Vaníček has been deteriorating since 2010 is due to ownership and legal disputes. Instead of accommodating guests, the building has been occupied by homeless people and drug addicts. The remnants of the seven-story hotel still display architectural details of sharp shapes and cascading arrangement. Given the rapid decay of Hotel Vaníček, the chances of its rescue diminish every year.

Na Hřebenkách 60, 150 00 Praha 5-Smíchov
