Prague's first floating
boutique hotel

A floating boutique hotel in Art Deco
on the Vltava, since 1969

Since 1969, Prague's first floating hotel, Botel Albatros, has been moored on Ludvíka Svobody Embankment. After the renovation, the interiors were recreated in 1930s Art Deco.

1969 — the first botel in Prague

Albatros was launched in 1969 to a design by architect Zdeněk Davídek. This is how Prague's botels (boat + hotel) came to be. Admiral (1970) and Racek (1971) followed, but Albatros remains the first

Part of the Prague skyline

In half a century on the Vltava, Albatros has become part of the Prague skyline. In its early years, moored between Štefánik Bridge and Štvanice Island, it gathered the city's elite on board. Today the botel keeps the same aesthetic and is open to everyone who wants to see Prague from the water
