After decades as InterContinental Prague and a full gut renovation under Czech owner R2G, it reopened April 15, 2025 as Fairmont Golden Prague: 320 rooms on the Vltava beside Old Town, earning Michelin Two Keys in its first eligible year.

About Fairmont Golden Prague
- Guests began arriving in August 1974; the Inter-Continental Praha grand opening followed on December 7, 1974.
- Interior designer Miloslav Hejný's original elements were kept through later renovations, even while the Fairmont rebuild stripped the building to its concrete shell.
- Renamed the Golden Prague Hotel managed by Fairmont in May 2020, then closed for the multi-year renovation that produced today's Fairmont.
- Nine stories on the Vltava near Old Town and Josefov, with Old Town Square about a six-minute walk and Charles Bridge about eleven.
History
Fairmont Golden Prague opened in 2024, occupying a historic building in the heart of Prague overlooking the Vltava River and the Old Town panorama. The property represents Fairmont's entry into the Czech Republic and Central Europe's most visited city. The conversion of an architecturally significant building into a contemporary luxury hotel was undertaken to meet demand from luxury travelers to one of Europe's best-preserved historic capitals. The hotel's opening adds a fifth Fairmont property to the European portfolio.
The setting
Fairmont Golden Prague commands the northern end of Pařížská at the Vltava riverbank, within the UNESCO-protected Old Town beside Josefov, Prague's historic Jewish Quarter. Often called Prague's Champs-Élysées, Pařížská was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and today ranks among the world's most expensive retail streets, its Art Nouveau facades housing flagships for Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Gucci. Old Town Square with the Gothic Týn Cathedral is a six-minute walk; the medieval Astronomical Clock is seven minutes away; and Charles Bridge, lined with Baroque statues, is eleven minutes on foot — anchoring the hotel at the apex of Prague's historic luxury triangle.
