History of the Ambassador Zlatá Husa hotel
The Ambassad and Zlatá Husa Hotel is located in the heart of Prague on Wenceslas Square, a place where history has always been made and continues to be written. The hotel has witnessed many historical events significant to the nation. Its Art Nouveau style is a pride of the square. Originally, it consisted of two distinct hotels built around 1920. In 1964, the two hotels were connected and it has continued as the Ambassad and Zlatá Husa Hotel.
The history of the Ambassador Hotel is fairly typical, whereas the history of the Zlatá Husa Hotel has a slightly humorous twist. The owner was a very wealthy widow who had a young but quite unattractive daughter. The daughter was of marrying age, yet despite her great wealth, she remained single. She never married and was known in Prague by the nickname "Golden Goose."
That is a brief overview of the history. The unique character typical of early 20th-century Prague has been preserved in the hotel to this day. The stylish interior of the hotel lobby, the attractive environment of the French restaurant and the Ambassador conference hall, as well as the spacious rooms furnished with preserved period furniture, strive to maintain the tradition of old Prague and bring the atmosphere of the Art Nouveau era closer to its guests.
