Grand Hotel Prague Towers Hotel
Grand Hotel Prague Towers, formerly known as Hotel Forum and Corinthia Towers, is a five-star high-rise building from 1988, located in Prague's Nusla near the Prague Congress Centre. This modernist building reaches a height of 84 metres, has 26 floors and provides extensive facilities including 539 rooms and a wellness area with swimming pool. The building represents a significant dominant part of the city of Praha 4 and an important element in tourism and international meetings.
The building of this hotel complex started in 1984 and was finished in 1988. During the second half of the eighth decade of the twentieth century, preparations were made for gradual political and social changes in Czechoslovakia which resulted in the fall of the communist regime at the end of 1989. At that time large hotels and modernist buildings were built in the metropolis for the development of tourism and international events.
The modern height building grew in the 1980s. Together, it has 26 floors, 24 above ground. The total height is 84 metres, with an antenna reaching up to 90 metres. The indoor areas offer a varied background including accommodation rooms, congress halls and a wellness area.
Property is owned by International Hotel Investments registered in Malta. Over the years, the premises have undergone changes in names and operators. It was originally called Hotel Forum, later named Corinthia Towers and since April 2024 it has been operated as a long-term tenant by the Czech Inn Hotels, which renamed it Grand Hotel Prague Towers.
In 1984, the construction of a facility originally called Hotel Forum started. In 1988, the building was successfully shut down. In April 2024 the Czech Inn Hotels network took over the operation of the complex and modified the name to Grand Hotel Prague Towers. On the last floor there is a 14-meter swimming pool with wellness and fitness zone, solarium and a dry and steam sauna Apollo Day Spa. The hotel has 25 congress halls and meeting rooms, and the largest hall can accommodate up to 700 guests. There are also private parking areas and garage with washing line.
The hotel currently operates in full operation under the management of the Czech Inn Hotels network.

Welcome, distinguished visitors. Stop for a moment, take a breath and look ahead. You are standing in front of just one of the most prominent dominant of the fourth part of Prague, in an area known as Nusle. In front of you stands an impressive height structure, which with its size itvarom completely controls the surrounding space. It's a building that carries history for decades and can be seen from many places around. Feel its power and the way its lines float up to the sky. It's a place where the ambition of the last century meets the modern demands of today.
Let us now go back in time together to understand how this building came into being and why it is standing here at all. Let's go back to the year one thousand nine hundred eighty-four. At that time, in Czechoslovakia, it was considered how to significantly develop tourism and attract more visitors from abroad. It was a strategic plan of the state that wanted to show its modern face and provide accommodation at the highest level. It is in this context that the construction of this complex has begun. At that time, the construction was not known by its current name, but it was called Hotel Forum. Imagine the eighty years, the time of concrete structures and the belief in technological progress, when this building gradually rose above the Nusles. The entire construction process lasted four years and was completed in the year one thousand nine hundred eighty-eight. It was a really brave building at the time to serve as a symbol of the expansion of tourism.
Now please look up again. Pay attention to its architecture and overall dimensions. What you see is a five-star high-rise building that reaches an overall height of eighty-four meters. But if you turn your eyes and look up, you'll see an antenna that goes up to a height of 90 meters. This antenna gives the building even greater vertical dynamics. The entire building consists of twenty-six floors. Try to imagine what view n offers from the highest floors. It is basically a sightseeing platform from which a large part of Prague can be observed. Look at the facade and see how this building breaks down the Nosli horizon. Although we have many modern glass towers in Prague today, this building retains its specific character from the late 1980s. It's an architecture that was supposed to be functional, massive and representative.
When we talk about this place, we can't ignore its transformation. This building has not only undergone physical maintenance, but has also changed its identity several times. As I mentioned before, she started as the Forum Hotel. Later, however, it became known as Corinthia Towers as part of the changes in ownership and administration. Each of these names brought a new era, new standards of service and new guests from all over the world. However, the latest chapter of this story began to be written very recently. In April in the year two thousand twenty-four there was a significant change. The operation of the hotel took over the Czech Inn Hotels network and with this take came a new name under which we know the building today, i.e. Grand Hotel Prague Towers. It is fascinating to see how one building adapts to changing times and markets, while still remaining the same architectural point on the city map.
You might be wondering what's inside these walls. Even though we're standing outside now, we can imagine the scope of this complex. The building provides a total of five hundred thirty-nine rooms. Imagine the many people who have lived here over the years, the business meetings that took place here, and the personal stories that took place in these corridors. In addition to accommodation there is also a large relaxation zone with a swimming pool, which serves as an oasis of calm in the middle of a busy city. It's a place where the luxury of a five-star standard is combined with the practicality of a high-rise building.
Here's one interesting thing that will help you better understand the importance of this place. At the time of its creation in the 1980s, this building was not just an ordinary hotel. It was part of a broader vision of infrastructure development for foreigners. At that time, it was very important for visitors from other countries to have accommodation that meets international standards, while making this building visible from a distance to serve as a beacon for travelers. It is basically a monument to a certain era when Czechoslovakia tried to open up the world through modern architecture and services.
When you stand before Grand Hotel Prague Towers today, feel the contrast between this monumental construction and the surrounding construction of Nesla. It's a meeting of two different worlds. On the one hand, there is a quieter residential area and on the other hand this vertical tower, which resembles the dynamics of the city. It's a place that teaches us that architecture isn't just about materials and meters, it's about how the building becomes part of the city's memory.
Now that you know the history, dimensions and transformations of this unique place, I suggest you go around the building again and watch from different angles how its silhouette changes depending on your perspective. Note how dominant it is in space and how naturally it became part of the Prague panorama.
Thank you for your attention and for stopping by this fascinating building for a moment. I hope this short trip to history and architecture has helped you better perceive where you're standing. Now you can continue your journey and discover other hidden and familiar corners of our beautiful city. I wish you a pleasant rest of the day and many other unforgettable experiences while exploring Prague. Goodbye.
Tips for visitors
The best time to visit this high-rise hotel in Nusla is early in the morning or at sunset, when the sun's rays light up the entire metropolis beautifully and provide the best light for taking stunning photos of the Nusla Valley and the historic centre.
Transportation to the building is very easy because it is located in the immediate vicinity of the underground railway station Vysehrad and the tubus of the Nusel Bridge; for cars it is possible to use the parking space directly at the building, and we recommend to verify the current standing and connection possibilities in advance in the respective search engine.
Don't forget to take a high-quality camera or smart phone with a wide-angle lens, comfortable shoes for exploring the wider surroundings and possibly warmer clothes for staying in the upper floors of the building where the stronger wind can blow.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings awakening nature around this modern high-rise building, where surrounding parks and alleys in Prague grow green and first trees flourish. The lighting is very pleasant due to the longer day and the sun's rays reflect the glass windows of the building in the late afternoon. The atmosphere is calm and optimistic. In this period, you will not meet such large crowds of people, so you will enjoy the tour in complete peace. Suitable clothing should consist of a lighter jacket or coat and fixed shoes for longer walks. The best time to visit is the late morning, when the morning cold has receded and the city is full of fresh energy.
Summer offers long sunny days and warm evenings that are ideal for admiring panoramic views of the entire city from the upper floors of the building. Nature in the surroundings is fully blooming and rich green, with sharp noon light gradually transforming into soft summer twilight coloring of the sky. The atmosphere is very lively because the main tourist season is in full swing. The practical advice is to avoid the biggest midday heat and arrive rather early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature falls. Put on air clothes made of natural materials and remember to wear sunglasses and headgear because the shade is less.
Autumn transforms the surrounding landscape into a palette of warm yellow, orange and red colors, creating a stunning spectacle for every observer. The lighting is often made up of morning fog and low sun, which gives the whole place a slightly melancholy and romantic touch. The number of visitors is significantly reduced after the summer rush, which guarantees a calmer experience without pressure. We recommend wearing a warmer sweater, waterproof layer and solid shoes because the weather is variable and the wind often blows. The best time of day is an early afternoon, when the warm rays of the sun will at least ease the cold autumn air for a while.
Winter covers this place in a completely different atmosphere, especially when sometimes a snow blanket appears on rooftops of houses in the metropolis. Lighting is specific because darkness comes very early in the afternoon and the city lights up thousands of evening lights that create a magical contrast to the night sky. The atmosphere in advent time is quiet, festive and chamber. As temperatures are low below freezing, it is absolutely necessary to wear a high-quality winter jacket, hat, gloves and warm shoes with non-slip soles. The best time to visit is around noon, when there is the best chance of at least a weak daylight before it soon gets dark and gets stronger.
