Ramsay Joins Second Prague Hilton
NOVEMBER 1, 2007. The Hilton Prague Old Town has welcomed its first guests, becoming Hilton's second hotel to open in Prague and further reinforcing the brand's continued expansion in Eastern Europe.
Formerly the Prague Renaissance, the 305-room property has undergone a multi million dollar transformation, overseen by celebrated interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud, recognised for her work at The Boca Raton Resort & Club and New York's Carlyle Hotel. Influenced by traditional Prague architecture and modern Czech design, the hotel has seen the complete renovation of the ground floor area, including a revitalized reception and lobby area, an expanded ballroom and introduction of Gordon Ramsay's maze restaurant and cocktail bar. The project also included a complete refit of all guest rooms, including the addition of 15 new suites and a luxurious Presidential Suite.
Commenting on the opening Wolfgang M. Neumann, president Hilton Hotels - Europe said: "The Hilton Prague Old Town marks a significant step in our commitment to enhancing and developing Hilton's presence in Eastern Europe. With two properties now located in the historic Czech capital - just a 10-minute walk apart - we anticipate this new hotel will help us create new business opportunities in the city. Together both hotels will be able to accommodate larger groups particularly as Hilton Prague is scheduled to expand its meeting facilities in 2008."
