Now Called: Almanac X Alcron
The Almanac X Alcron Hotel is not my typical choice. On previous trips to Prague, Czech Rep. I’ve always preferred small historic hotels in the Old Town. But for once I took the advice of a friend, and I’m glad I did. The Alcron Hotel is located in Prague’s New Town. In fact, it’s about two minutes from Wenceslas Square. The hotel is on a side street so you get the dynamic hustle and bustle of Wenceslas Square, without the noise.
Welcome to the Almanac X Alcron Hotel, Prague

I can’t praise the front desk staff enough! From politely answering all my questions to bringing me a glass of water without me asking, as I sat in the lobby, hours after checking out!

Is a Prague Old Town Hotel Really Better than a Prague New Town Hotel?
If you’d asked me a week ago I would have told you to definitely stay in the Old Town – close to Prague’s top attractions. But after my stay at the Alcron Hotel Prague, I’d rather have a short walk to the Old Town and a classic luxury hotel with all modern amenities, than a hotel in the noisy Old Town where it’s hard to find a decent-looking place to stay.
Old “historic” is great, but the Old Town hotels I looked at were old “old”, musty, with drab dark decor. It is literally minutes from the New Town Prague Alcron Hotel to the Old Town, and it’s in the heart of the shopping district!!! Shoppers beware! Be prepared to stop at the ATM several times. Wenceslas Square is home to top European clothing stores, and the Czech Rep. is notoriously cheap. And if you have kids, don’t miss nearby Hamleys.
Hot Prague Travel Tips
- Across the road from the Alcron Hotel is Lucerna Passage with the famous upside-down horse. But don’t stop there. In the same passage is the most unusual elevator you’ve ever seen – no doors, and it doesn’t stop!
- From the Alcron Hotel walk straight out the door and down the first street to reach one of Cerny’s most famous Prague sculptures – the Rotating Head. And speaking of artist David Cerny, I could have spent my entire trip visiting the incredible works of public art by Cerny in Prague.
- For shopping in Prague try Wenslaslas Square; Prague Market, and the Fashion Arena Outlet.
