NH Collection Prague Carlo IV
Prague, Czech Republic · NH Collection · Core Luxury
Viennese architect Achille Wolf finished this Neo-Renaissance palace in 1890 as the Mortgage Bank of the Kingdom of Bohemia, a listed building whose lobby still runs on four black alabaster Ionic columns and original frescoes. Under communism it became Prague's postal-censorship headquarters, the 'black cabinet.' Converted in 2003-04 as Boscolo Carlo IV, with DAM's courtyard wing and the old bank vault now a bar, it entered NH Collection around 2021.

History
The Neo-Renaissance palace at Senovážné náměstí 13 was designed by Achille Wolf and completed in 1890 as the headquarters of the Hypoteční banka Království českého (Mortgage Bank of the Kingdom of Bohemia). After 1945 it housed Prague's international-post directorate and, under communism, the 'black cabinet' postal-censorship office. Italian designers Maurizio Papiri and Adam D. Tihany, with Czech studio DAM, converted it into a hotel in 2003-04, adding a courtyard wing. It operated as Boscolo Carlo IV until Minor/NH took the Boscolo portfolio; it has been NH Collection Prague Carlo IV since about 2021. The former bank hall is the lobby; the original vault is now a bar.
The setting
NH Collection Prague Carlo IV sits toward the east of Nové Město in Prague. The Powder Tower is roughly 5 minutes' walk, Václavské nám. is roughly 9 minutes' walk, and National Museum is roughly 10 minutes' walk. Nove Mesto is Prague's New Town that is not new: Wenceslas Square's slope, the National Museum as a full stop, and a river-and-Old-Town walk that still feels like a night out.
