U Zlaté podkovy

Suites of Hotel U Zlaté podkovy are located in the very centre of Prague, in the historical Nerudova Street, just a few steps from the most significant historical monuments in Prague, e.g. Loreta, the Prague Castle or the Saint-Nicolas Church. Along the former Royal Route, which runs through the Nerudova Street towards the Prague Castle, you can admire Renaissance and Baroque burghers' houses with conspicuous house signs. Burgher house U Zlaté podkovy - originally in the Gothic style - mentioned already since the beginning of 15th century, which underwent a substantial reconstruction in the Renaissance style in 16th century, had a horseshoe in its sign already at that time and since 1723 it has existed in its present extent. The sign of house U Zlaté podkovy contains a mystery: What was first, Saint Wenceslas or the horseshoe? The horseshoe was once really bringing good luck. He who had his horse properly shoed, reached his destination safely. It used to signify good luck to find a horseshoe. Let yourself get captivated by the suites in the very historical centre of Prague.
