Chg Forecast Investment The total hotel transaction volume in Prague declined by 85% during the first nine months of 2020.

While this deal was agreed before the COVID-19 Trends outbreak that had a notable impact on investment activity, the sentiment remains somewhat positive with at least one deal expected to close later this year. So far there is no evidence of COVID-related yield change, however, some upward pressure is expected given the increased uncertainty and restricted Prime Yields access to financing. Nevertheless, the relatively high number of investors looking for opportunities and lack of assets on the market should prevent any major change.

This was primarily driven by a significant drop in occupancy to 21% (down by Performance 73%), as well as a decline in ADR by 27% to €67. While there were some signs of recovery during the summer months, performance began to decline again in September, setting a muted outlook for the rest of the year.

  • Guide to Industrial and Technical Structures in Prague
    Guide to Industrial and Technical Structures in Prague Guide to Industrial and Technical Structures in Prague The Guide you hold in your hands is rather special, in that it shows you Prague from a seldom mentioned perspective. Whilst we shall make our way into Prague by first reminding ourselves of several well known landmarks, such as the Petřín lookout tower, Sova’s mills, or the Šítkovská water tower, this is only to draw attention to the continuity and importance of distinctive technical works and commercial and industrial structures to the life and development of the metropolis. These are just a setting-off point on our journey to see what stays out of the limelight. A Guide to Prague‘s technical structures can only be a brief excursion, given how very numerous they are. The entries are sorted for clarity by the various Prague districts, from the historical centre outwards, to what used to be the outskirts. The Guide primarily offers some attractive sights to see, as well as alternative tourist destinations, giving their exact addresses and GPS coordinates. It reveals curious and often surprisingly impressive places, but also draws attention to threatened heritage. Benjamin Fragner 01 PETŘÍN LOOKOUT TOWER PETŘÍN FUNICULAR 02 This feat of a 62m high lookout tower was drawn up by civil The idea to build a funicular to Petřín Hill came in 1890 along engineers F. Prášil and J. Souček from Prague bridgeworks, with the Petřín Tower project. The funicular was opened on 25th which then supplied and assembled the steel construction in July 1891 and was at the time the longest cabled track in the the incredibly short period of five months.
