Fallout shelter

On the second underground floor, the hotel has its own secret fallout shelter complete with massive concrete walls which prevent any radioactive contamination. The shelter has room for 250 people. One room leads through a small entrance onto a semi third floor, where stands a tank which was once used for drinking water as well as water for the hospital in case of an attack on what was then Czechoslovakia. The tank has not been used in more than 20 years. In the early days of its operation, there also existed a general staff hospital with a secret entrance. The hospital was apparently serviced by 30 doctors and nurses. In 1997, the shelter was removed from the network of fallout shelters for civilian protection.

The second basement was designed as a prominent fallout shelter for 30 actively employed people and a further 250 people who required shelter. It had to withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion as well as aerial bombardment. There was a spare unit available, as well as a special water tank and a hospital. In addition to the operating room, there was an area to administer electric shocks and gypsum-making rooms, areas designated

The hotel basement is currently undergoing renovation. For this reason, we apologise that no tours of the fallhout shelter are possible. Thank you for your understanding.
