I Stayed at the $160,000,000 Communist Ultra-Luxury Hotel - Fairmont
The ultimate 17-minute cut of the $160M Fairmont renovation. Faster, deeper, and with the long-awaited UV test. I’ve re-edited this based on your feedback to show you only the best (and the dirtiest) parts of Prague's most expensive hotel.
I stayed at one of the most controversial $160,000,000 hotel renovations in the world. The Fairmont Golden Prague — once a brutalist communist landmark — has been transformed into an ultra-luxury hotel. But was it really worth it?
In this video, I take you inside the newly reopened Fairmont Golden Prague (formerly the InterContinental). For decades, this building defined communist-era architecture in Prague. Today, after a massive €160M renovation, it’s trying to redefine luxury in Europe.
From a surprising room upgrade to a full hotel experience, we’ll explore everything: the brutalist exterior, the iconic Zlatá Praha restaurant with its gold details, the wellness with that insane pool view, and even a UV cleanliness test.
So is this the best hotel in Prague — or just a very expensive transformation? Let’s find out.
