The story of one family
in the heart of Prague

For more than three decades, we have been writing the story of our family business. In the buildings we care for, hospitality continues to live on for future generations.


What defines us

Hospitality with heart

We believe a lasting impression is shaped by more than the setting alone. True guest satisfaction comes from the care, attention, and thoughtful details we bring to every stay.

Respect for places

Each of our buildings holds historic value. We care for them with respect and purpose, so that our venues remain a living part of Old Prague for generations to come.

Family approach

Guests return to us for an atmosphere they do not find elsewhere. Together, we create places where experience and a genuine joy in hospitality naturally come together.

From humble beginnings to a collection of hotels, restaurants and bars

 
1991
Every story has its beginning

In the early 1990s, a small takeaway window opens opposite the Astronomical Clock on Old Town Square. At the same time, under the direction of Petr Bauer Sr., a new chapter of the restaurant at U Prince begins to take shape.

1991 – Story begins
 
1992–1997
The golden nineties

For us, the “golden nineties” were golden in every sense. Following the opening of the first small eatery, Zlatý Strom restaurant is established, soon followed by a music club that becomes a prominent part of Prague’s nightlife.
Over time, the U Zlatého Stromu hotel is added, and the building evolves into a connected space of gastronomy, entertainment and accommodation - shaping the identity Zlatý Strom holds to this day.

1992–1997 – Zlatá devadesátá
 
2000–2001
A view that defines Prague’s Old Town

The story returns to where it began. At U Prince building, a hotel opens, accompanied by the rooftop Terasa U Prince - a restaurant with direct views of Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock and the towers of the Church of Our Lady before Týn.
From here, the panorama of the historic centre unfolds in full, changing throughout the day. The terrace becomes a place known not only for dining, but for one of the most distinctive views in Prague.

2000–2001 – Návrat ke kořenům
 
2010
Black Angel’s Bar - a new benchmark of Prague’s bar scene

At a time when the mojito defined much of the bar scene, Black Angel’s Bar arrived with something entirely different - an exciting, mysterious world of professional mixology. It helped shape the direction of bars in Prague and across the Czech Republic, and within five years ranked among the world’s top 10 hotel bars. Since then, it has upheld the standard that made it famous.

The beginning of the five-star story of Iron Gate Hotel & Suites

The beginning of the five-star story of Iron Gate Hotel & Suites
 Just a short walk from Old Town Square, Iron Gate Hotel & Suites opens its doors in 2016. A unique space where history is present in every detail - from rare frescoes to Renaissance painted ceilings.
In 2017, Deer Restaurant begins its operation on the ground floor.

2016–2017 – Iron Gate
 
2022
Jilská Palace Hall

The family of venues expanded with an exceptional multifunctional event space for conferences, celebrations, and weddings in the centre of Prague. With capacity for up to 150 guests and the support of an experienced team, every event is delivered with complete service.

2024
The evolution of Zlatý Strom

Zlatý Strom has undergone a significant transformation over the years, both in its interior and overall concept. Today, the space is shaped as a multi-level club with several bars and zones, creating a dynamic atmosphere throughout the evening.
In 2008, the original disco evolved into a music club, and in 2024 into a modern bar and club with a strong focus on unique design.
