Ian Bryan Architects (IBA), one of the Czech Republic’s leading international architectural and design practices, is pleased to announce the completion of the re-designed Executive Lounge at Hilton Prague.

The brief was to totally re-think the public spaces of the executive floor. By unifying all the areas, we were able to create the new executive zone as a consistent and memorable experience.

The focal point is the expanded executive lounge which seamlessly extends from the lift lobby reception and break out areas. Four new meeting rooms are created including, in pride of place, a new board room. The lounge itself is broken down into distinct zones including an intimate entry area complete with lounge seating, a fireplace and a coffee / refreshments bar. Copper coloured chain curtains enable partial separation from the lounge zone when the main buffet bar is not in use and help to delineate the multiple seating settings provided.

The design direction draws on the flamboyant architecture and character of the City of Prague. Rich and deeply coloured textures are paired with brass and copper metalwork reflecting Prague’s theatrical traditions whilst the unique carpet designs are reminiscent of typical cobblestone pavements. Decorative light fittings inspired by Czechia’s glasswork and specially commissioned art works connect with bohemia’s hunting and musical heritage, to complete the picture.

This refurbishment project is a part of an ongoing working relationship between IBA and Hilton Prague going back over 20 years. Major projects have included the roof top Cloud 9 Sky Bar & Lounge, the refurbishment of all 791 guest rooms and a new spa.

Hilton Prague is one of a few properties of this size in the entire Europe, especially considering its central location. Named #1 Top Hotel for Meetings and Events in Europe by Cvent for two consecutive years, Hilton Prague is not only an ideal home away from home for travellers, but also the perfect place for hosting meetings, conferences or social events.
