Almanac X Alcron Prague
Prague, Czech Republic · Almanac Hotels · Core Luxury
Businessman and architect Alois Krofta opened the Alcron in 1932, coining its name from letters of his own plus the Alcron, a ship from Greek mythology; the Art Deco hotel became one of Prague's grandest, hosting Winston Churchill among the guests who filled it before Czechoslovakia's 1948 nationalization. It returned to private hands in the 1990s, ran as a Radisson property until 2019, then reopened in 2023 as Almanac X Alcron Prague after a 20 million euro renovation.

About Almanac X Alcron Prague
- The 1932 hotel was a technological marvel for its time, with its own backup power generators, an underground garage and service station, and an advanced staff call system.
- Pre-war guests included Charlie Chaplin; during the German occupation, Nazi officials Joachim von Ribbentrop and Karl Hermann Frank stayed there instead.
- The hotel's restaurant held a Michelin star until 2017, decades after Czechoslovakia's communist government nationalized the property in 1948.
- It operated under the Radisson flag from 1996, as Radisson SAS Hotel Prague and later Radisson Blu Alcron, until going independent again on 1 January 2019.
- The renovated hotel reopened as Almanac X Alcron Prague in 2023 and has since been awarded One MICHELIN Key for its design and hospitality.
