O nas

Hotel Brixen Praha belongs to the company Brixen, as, which also operates the hotel Brixen in Havlíčková Brod and several apartment units in Prague intended for short- and medium-term accommodation. Hotel Brixen Praha was opened in 2005 and its name refers to the life and work of of the Czech patriot and European journalist of the second half of the 19th century, Karel Havlíček Borovský. Karel Havlíček Borovský, an eternal political rebel with permanent youthful anarchy in his work, fell out of favor with the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Francis Joseph II. For his opinions and criticism of state power, he had to leave his residence in Havlíčková Brod in the Highlands, as well as his work in Prague, and was moved to Brixen (Italian: Bressanone), a small town in Tyrol, Italy, where he stayed in a cozy hotel with pleasant service. However, he suffered from homesickness here. Towards the end of his life, he was finally released from exile and could return to his beloved Bohemia. Shortly after his return, he died of tuberculosis in Prague. Hotel Brixen thus symbolically returns asylum to the places he loved.
