Dancing House Hotel, Prague

Jiráskovo nám. 1981/6, 120 00 Nové Město, Czech Republic (show on map)

The Dancing House, or Tančící dům, is one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks. Completed in 1996, this deconstructivist masterpiece was designed by architects Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry. Its unique shape features two contrasting towers—one solid and angular, the other fluid and glass-clad—that mimic a pair of dancers, originally nicknamed “Fred and Ginger” after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Beyond its striking appearance, the building carries deep symbolic meaning. It was constructed on a site that had remained empty since a 1945 bombing, and it represents the rebirth of Czech culture and democracy following the end of communist rule. It was a pioneering project, notably utilizing advanced software to model its complex, organic curves with millimetric precision.

Today, the Dancing House serves as a luxury hotel, offering guests a chance to stay inside a piece of modern art. The building also houses a top-floor restaurant and a gallery, providing visitors with stunning panoramic views of the city.

Its location on the Rašín Embankment is perfect for exploring Prague’s historic core. You are within easy reach of the Vltava River, which hosts vibrant markets at the nearby Naplavka riverbank. A scenic walk or a short tram ride takes you to major attractions like the historic Charles Bridge, the sprawling Prague Castle complex, and the medieval Old Town Square. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or simply a traveler looking for a unique stay, this building is an unforgettable highlight of the Prague skyline.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Last year also saw the arrival of a new Dancing House Hotel. The location along the river and south of Old Town is excellent, though the real pleasure comes from getting to stay inside the landmark riverside building by architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic.”

Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Prague.

Telegraph review:

“Built by Frank Gehry and known colloquially as the Fred & Ginger building (after its dancing shape). The Dancing House is now a hotel with 21 rooms, a café and restaurant with a panoramic terrace. While comfortable enough, service is patchy at best, and its popularity with tourists undermines any special feeling.”

Perfect location with everything needed.

Amazing location, beautiful view, and beautiful rooms with a lot of space. Very clean with very nice mini bar.

The only downside is that you get free pass to the rooftop only once, I think for guest should entrance be allowed as long as they stay at the hotel.

A lovely hotel, great location and highly recommend!

The hotel was very luxurious for a reasonable price. The breakfast was always very well stocked and staff very helpful. The hotel room was very clean.

The rooftop bar wasn’t very organised and staff appeared stressed when it was busy.

Great Stay Overall, Disappointing Reception Interaction

Location, breakfast, design of the room, value for money

There was one staff member at the reception whose behavior was noticeably unprofessional. She repeatedly rolled her eyes and showed an attitude whenever we requested assistance. For example, when our key card did not work, my husband asked for it to be reprogrammed. Instead of assisting promptly, she rolled her eyes and questioned whether other family members were in the room. Only after confirming that they were waiting in the corridor did she reprogram the card, all while displaying clear displeasure. This was not an isolated incident; we experienced similar behavior from her on multiple occasions. In contrast, the rest of the hotel staff were consistently polite, helpful, and welcoming. Unfortunately, this particular employee does not reflect the hotel’s standards of hospitality and left a negative impression on our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our (too short) stay here

The bed was exceptional. The facilities were really nice. It had an unusual exterior design. We had the best breakfasts there of anywhere we have traveled in 2025--even champagne, fresh juice and delicious cheeses. Also the view from the restaurant was awesome.

I am really coming up empty on this one.

The nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom was the largest I’ve ever seen. The bed was super comfortable. Wonderful coffee provided as a complimentary treat for the guests, as well as tea. Apples on the table, candies. I am delighted. And I will always come back there.

Fabulous stay highly recommend

Very elegant to stay there, beautiful room, access to rooftop bar and viewing terrace. Cleaned daily, water and fresh fruit available in room, every little desk in reception area and walkways had water, fruit and sweets. Got a free little gift at end of stay, very helpful staff. Plenty of toilet rolls, shower gel and clean towels daily.

Only two small improvements would have made it perfect was a smart TV and better drainage on shower cubicle.

Very good

Wonderful area, walking distance to a lot of attractions. Clean, big room and big bathroom. You get a one time free entry to the rooftop (6.5 EUR)

The hotel sharing the same entrance and elevators with a rooftop that is visited by hundreds of tourists every day. Also the lift noise is not pleasant in the late or early hours when the guests want to rest. Unfortunately the entrance to the room and the bathroom had occasionally sewage smell. Not value for money if that continues to be a problem.

It’s uniqueness being an attraction by itself. Nice location and views are amazing at the restaurant where breakfast is served. Tram from the central train station stops across the property.

Nothing to dislike.

Dancing House is the latest icon representing over 1000+ years of Prague architecture.

I booked a standard room overlooking the inner court yards of Prague buildings; not picturesque but rather authentic... and worth the bargain price I booked the my stay for.

i just had a basic plumbing problem but it was taken care of best as possible considering the problem.... otherwise it felt comfortable and safe especially since I was traveling solo for the first time in Prague.

Dancing house has great comfortable rooms in an iconic building at a great location, but don’t expect much in the way of

The building is iconic, the rooms are clean and well appointed. Every room we saw was a little different. The restaurant and bar at the top has amazing views.

This is more of a business building than a hotel… Don’t expect anything in the way of lobby, bar, Bellmen, etc. There is no one to help with your bags, the hotel just has a few floors in a building that also contains offices.

It is very centrally located very easy to get to buy train, tram or bolt. Just a few miles from the broadcast even closer to the old town… Rooms are very comfortable. The bathroom is a good size with two sinks, which is very appreciated in Europe.

Exceptional Stay – A Hidden Gem in Prague

I was so relieved to find this amazing hotel after a bad experience elsewhere in Prague. It completely exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable — right in the center and just steps from Charles Bridge. I booked a city-view room, and it was exactly what I hoped for. They also have river-view rooms if you prefer that. The staff were extremely professional, friendly, and helpful — I felt genuinely welcomed. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was for the soundproofing, and it absolutely delivered. Even though my room was connected to another (which was occupied), I didn’t hear a single sound. The peace and quiet were impressive. The hotel also has a cozy café, a rooftop area, and a fantastic restaurant — all of which made the stay even better. Overall, an incredible value. I really hope their prices stay the same!

Quiet small room

very good location, just 15 min of walk from main attractions and city center. On the other side of the road near the river there many locations to sit next to the water and to drink a beer or any other drink. Breakfast with a view from 7'th floor was really great

The room with a view to the river was little bit noisy.
