The History
Almanac X Alcron Prague began life as the Alcron Hotel, founded by Alois Krofta, who saw an opportunity in the foundation of an independent Czechoslovakia in 1918 to build one of Prague’s first world-class hotels. The Alcron opened in 1932, taking its name from a boat in ancient Greek mythology.
The hotel was state-of-the-art in its design, interior furnishings and equipment, a tradition continued by Almanac X to this day. Krofta was renowned for designing innovative equipment used in the hotel and for personally ensuring guest services were top-notch. The reputation of the Alcron spread quickly, attracting First Republic Czechoslovak celebrities and dignitaries.
Krofta’s ownership of the hotel was “supervized” during the Second World War by the Nazi occupiers, but it retained its reputation as a place of luxury. During the Communist era it was nationalized, and Krofta died a broken man in 1958, having seen his life’s work apparently destroyed.

After the Velvet Revolution of 1989, Krofta’s descendants lodged a restitution claim for the hotel. When they finally got it back from the state, the property had fallen into disrepair. The WSF Group bought the hotel and set to work restoring it to its former glory. By the end of the 1990s, the Alcron had been re-established as a byword for luxury in Prague.
The Alcron converted to the Almanac X brand in 2022. Extensive renovation works began, including an interior redesign in a chic, elegant style throughout the lobby, guest rooms, famous restaurant and bar, and roof terrace.
Owned by the Haselbacher family, based in Vienna, the hotel today presents a distinctively pan-European style of luxury. An unforgettable interior design inspired by Prague from Tres Cinco Uno creative studio combines with the finest locally inspired cuisine and expert service for a uniquely modern Czech experience.
