Hotel Union

Hotel Union is located close to central Prague, five minutes away from the Prague Congress Centre, underneath the fortification walls of the Vysehrad monument. It was built in 1906 in Art Nouveau style, and completely renovated in 1992. It now holds a CzechTourism certificate in the Three Star category.

The surrounding area is rather charmingly named Nusle, disappointingly pronounced 'noose-leha' not nuzzle. All the same, it is an attractive part of town, a matter of minutes away from the sights of the Old Town but not without a magnetism of its own. The Hotel Union is very easily accessed by tram, with numbers 7, 18 and 24 stopping right outside the door at Ostrcilovo Namesti stop.

The Hotel Union also possesses local amenities in abundance, with plenty of convenience shops and restaurants on your doorstep. Turn left out of the hotel onto the main street Jaromirova and you will already see an oversized potraviny (off license and grocers all rolled into one), as well as other newsagents, bars and restaurants. Turn left again onto Nezamyslova for a usefully placed pharmacy round the corner.

In addition to the aforementioned trams, there are also night trams 53 and 55, which run from the centre throughout the night. Your local day trams, 18 and 24 trundle into town in under ten minutes, stopping along the way at Karlovo Namesti which has your nearest metro station, part of the 'B' or yellow line.
