A hotel, a room and a tower: the story of Prague's Tower Park

A hotel doesn't have to have rooms. You can have only one room

A hotel doesn't have to have rooms. You can have only one room

But today the hotels anticipate that it is outrageous. In the same way that rooms can already be booked for a nap, Nor does a hotel need to have rooms. You can have only one room . If the rest of the requirements are met, we can call it a hotel.

The Hotel Droog , in Amsterdam is the European benchmark for a one - room hotel . It's modern and functional, like a good Dutch-style exercise. But he's not the only one. prague (perhaps a little tired of being so Prague?) stands out with its own single-dose hotel.

This is of some interest, but the real crux of the matter is where the hotel is located, which they call One Room Hotel at Tower Park Praha . They have installed it in Tower Park Prague, former television building, which has just been renovated . It is the tallest tower in Prague and the highest observation deck in the entire Czech Republic: it is 216 meters high.

The Prague TV Tower

The Prague TV Tower

It was built between 1985 and 1992 and the city shouted to the sky: “how are they going to destroy our profile?” . They built it and nothing happened. It never happens. In fact, they love to go up to look at that baroque theme park that the beautiful city of Prague has become (oops, I said it) from above.

With its capsule structure, its will to dominate the city and to be a mirror of a historical moment, Tower Park reminds me of the Atomium in Brussels. Both have a gazebo and a restaurant. But in the Prague tower you can sleep, and in the Atomium you can't. One of the capsules has been converted into a room that can be booked for short periods of time for money. I mean, in a hotel.
