Palais de la Chambre de commerce et des métiers de Prague

Le Palais de la Chambre de Commerce et des Métiers de Prague est un palais néo-Renaissance situé à l'angle de la rue U Obecního domu et de la place de la République dans la Nouvelle Ville de Prague. Il a été édifié comme siège de la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Prague, une institution économique importante de l'époque. Après 1989, le bâtiment a été transformé en hôtel de luxe.

1. Histoire

La construction a été commandée vers 1900 par la direction de la Chambre de commerce et des métiers de Prague. L'architecte Antonín Turek a conçu un grand bâtiment historiciste de quatre étages. L'exploitation du bâtiment a commencé en 1904. Le bâtiment a abrité le siège de la chambre, probablement jusqu'à sa dissolution en 1948. En 2009, le bâtiment a été transformé en hôtel cinq étoiles King's Court dans le cadre d'une vaste rénovation.
