Mottl Magic

Experience the Thrill of New Town

Did you know? Prague wasn’t just about ancient kings and cobblestone streets. Once upon a time, it boasted the largest medieval square in Europe. Fast forward to today, and steps away from the legendary Wenceslas Square, settled directly at Jungmann Square, you'll find Mottl House—your perfect basecamp to dive into the city’s vibrant vibe. 

But wait! Who was this Jungmann after whom the square was named? He was none other than Josef Jungmann, a towering figure in Czech culture, celebrated for his role as a poet and linguist who helped revive the Czech language at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. But let's not get too caught up in history just yet, because we've got some Mottl House to discover!

Exploring Mottl House: Where History Meets Hip

So, what’s the scoop on Mottl House? 

In a nod to heritage, Mottl House is named after Vendelín Mottl, the son of an innovative tailor who first used the tape measure in 1834. Vendelín continued this tradition of innovation, and in 1906, had the house built, which has been a protected cultural monument since 1958.

Nestled right in the heart of Prague, Mottl House offers a quirky blend of old-world charm and sleek, modern amenities in its apartments run by Adrez. This place has layers—each floor tells a tale of the centuries gone by, all refurbished to cater to today’s nomads. It’s like stepping into a time machine, but with super-fast Wi-Fi and seriously comfy beds.
