Accor has announced it will assume management of The Mozart Prague hotel. Following an extensive renovation, the hotel will join the Sofitel Legend brand, a collection of historic luxury hotels.
The Mozart Prague is owned by the Courbet group and has been part of the Ott family heritage since 1999. The hotel sits in the Old Town district in the heart of the Czech capital and is well-located at the base of the Charles Bridge with views of Prague Castle. The hotel dates back to the 17th century and has a rich history, having hosted numerous celebrities such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Wagner and, more recently, Vaclav Havel.
The addition of The Mozart Prague to Sofitel Legend will make it the seventh hotel in the brand’s portfolio. The Sofitel Legend brand comprises iconic hotels "appreciated for their timeless elegance." From the writing of Agatha Christie's masterpiece "Death on the Nile" to Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Godard's honeymoon, and even the birth of "James Bond," The Mozart Prague joins this select network to share the story of where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote six German dances.
The hotel will be the second Sofitel Legend in Europe, joining the ranks of Sofitel Legend The Grand in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Worldwide, other hotels in the brand’s portfolio include Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan, Egypt; Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo in Panama City, Panama; Sofitel Legend Santa Clara in Cartagena, Colombia; Sofitel Legend The Metropole in Hanoi, Vietnam; and Sofitel Legend People's Grand in Xi'an, China.
The hotel will undergo a renovation program with Ivo Nahalka, a Prague architect, to meet the standards of the Sofitel Legend brand. Further enhancing the luxury experience at the hotel will be a new restaurant with a globally recognized brand.
Until the start of the refurbishment works, The Mozart Prague will be managed by Accor under a white label and will retain its existing signage. Once the renovation activity is complete, expected in 2027, the hotel will reopen as the Sofitel Legend The Mozart Prague.
