(Evropa is the Czech for Europe.)

This grand art nouveau building at Wenceslas Square in central Prague started life in1872 as a building in the Neo-Renaissance style. Its current looks dates to 1903-05 when it was redesigned by Bedrich Bendelmayer and Alois Dryak. (At the same time the interior was overhauled, to obvious great effect since it has been used for films such as Titanic.) The hotel got its current name in 1951.

The current state of affairs for this hotel is a bit enigmatic. Up until a few years ago it was a 2-star hotel (so we can assume that the rooms themselves were a bit less grand), but it closed a few years ago for refurbishments and to turn it into a 5-star hotel. It was supposed to open again in 2020 - no surprise that it didn't, but the trail of information I could find ends there.
