Corinthia Towers Hotel

Frommer's Review

Opened in the mid-1980s, this hotel was one of the last "achievements" of Communist central planners. Reserved occasionally for delegates attending Party Congress meetings at the Palace of Culture next door (now the Congress Center), the hotel juts up from a hill with a gorgeous panorama of the city. The medium-size rooms used to be like those in a 1980s upper-middle-range Sheraton, but have undergone renovation. They are fitted with solid furniture and the beds have firm mattresses, but the decoration is pretty bland. The bathrooms are reasonably sized and have tub/shower combinations.

The hotel is American in its approach, with an AMF bowling alley in the basement. Though the city center isn't within walking distance, the Vysehrad metro station is just below the hotel entrance.

Note: The Maltese company which now owns the Corinthia Towers is itself partly owned by a Libyan state firm on the U.S. State Department's list for trade sanctions. A U.S. citizen staying at this place is technically breaking a federal law, although no known cases have been prosecuted. Check with the U.S. Embassy's consular section if you are concerned about staying here.
