This majestic edifice was built after 1770 by
architect Jan Josef Wirch, for Hubert Karel
Pachta of Rájov, and his wife. According to
Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, years later, count
Johann Pachta convinced the great Mozart
to compose a set of contredanses on the
spot, while he was visiting Prague as a guest
in 1787.

Royal Atmosphere
Everything here exudes the brilliance of royalty. From the Baroque façade, to the sumptuous rooms and suites fit for kings and
queens, this is a place to celebrate the most
special moments of your life, surrounded by
old-fashion decadence and opulent interiors
replete with frescoes and antique furniture,
that truly make your stay at this hotel a “once
upon a time” fairy-tale experience.
Stepping inside your room at Pachtuv Palace,
you will notice the palatial furniture: king size
beds, graced with luxury drapery and comfy
cushions; gilt-framed paintings; vintage mirrors, chests and wardrobes; all reminding of
the louche decadence of the past.

Chef Radek Šubrt creates bold, spectacularly
spoiling menus, the kind of dishes you can
only find in a royal palace. He treats a fabulously diverse range of local ingredients with
the respect they deserve, and brings the true
flavours of traditional Czech cuisine to your
table, on plates where a roasted leg of duck,
for example, is not just food, but culinary art
that excites and astounds.
Leaving your dinner table full and satisfied,
relaxed by the tranquil eating experience,
the world outside the Pachtuv Palace still
keeps a certain old-world charm. Beyond the
sounds of the modern city, you can still hear
the echoes of her glory-filled past. It’s time
for lovers to stroll along the river, admiring
the city towers and turrets enveloped in crepuscular light.
Back at your room at Pachtuv Palace, welcome the magic of the night with a glass of
