The hotel includes the stylish Restaurant U Rychtáře,
which is located in the monumentally protected object

reservation could be done for the dates October 10 – 16,
2015. The sight-seeing programs for interested participants and accompanying persons will be organized in
Prague. Regarding to the fact that Prague is a much
frequented tourist centre and the capacity of hotels is
limited, all participants are asked to send their accommodation requests as soon as possible. All rooms will
be allocated on a ﬁrst come, ﬁrst served basis.

Prague,
a city with over a thousand-year history, was established
and developed at the intersection of strategic routes
connecting key centers on the European continent. Its
leading position and favorable climate led to the
successful development of trade, arts and crafts,
scientiﬁc research and knowledge. The town is one of
the most important historical cities of Europe. The
past centuries have left their mark here primarily in
art and architecture. Through the course of time
Prague has gained a reputation as a major European
center of culture, education and humanism. An area
of more than 8 sq. km registered in the UNESCO
World Cultural and Natural Heritage Register. Prague
is also a modern European metropolis full of energy,
music, and art. It’s a city of contrasts: Serene green
isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city’s
seven hills are just steps away from the architectural
treasures and bustling street life of the city center. It’s
a place where different architectural styles stand
cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that’s both
intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget
once seen.
Conference venue

Prague city, a quiet part of Prague 6, Ruzyně between

Prague Airport, easily accessible for passengers traveling by plane or car. The hotel is
