Welcome to The Mark Luxury Hotel Prague
The Mark Hotel is conveniently located in the very centre of Prague, just a few steps away from the
Municipal House and a short walk from the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square and a number of
other historical landmarks.
The hotel is situated within a completely reconstructed building that dates back to the 15th Century
and was originally a baroque mansion. Its many famous owners include Count Felix Vršovec
Sekerka of Sedčice, Count František Věžník of Věžník (who gave the name to the building –
Věžníkovský Palace), and František Josef, the Count of Vrtba. The childless Count Vrtba
bequeathed the palace to the Lobkowicz family who then sold it to Gremial health funds. The first
reconstruction of the building was carried out in 1928 and then in 2008 it was completely restored,
resulting in a beautiful symbiosis of neo-classical elements and modern design.
The hotel opened its doors to its first guests in October 2008. Offering 75 generously built and
beautifully appointed rooms, most of them suites, the hotel offers timeless elegance combined with
tasteful contemporary features, furnishings and fittings.

...Introducing Ondřej Koráb, Executive Chef
Ondřej Koráb acquired his culinary skills from true experts in
their field: shortly after graduation he travelled to London,
working for 2½ under the guidance of Michelin chefs in the best
restaurants of Great Britain. In Foliage Michelin-starred
restaurant he worked under British chef Chris Staines, which he
considers one of the most valuable experiences of his career. He
then worked in a team of renowned French chef, Daniel Boulud.
After exotic Asian and traditional European cuisine, he switched
to ‘molecular gastronomy’ under the expert tutelage of British
TV star Heston Blumenthal at The Dinner restaurant, which has
ranked among the top 5 two Michelin star restaurants of the
world. In September 2011, Ondřej went to Toronto, Canada,
where he cooked in a number of the best restaurants in the city,
before the prospect of trying his own recipes brought him back to
Prague to capitalize on his experience abroad and
display his unique cooking style. After 18 months
of working as a Junior Sous Chef, he started
working in Le Grill restaurant in February 2014,
becoming Executive Chef in June 2014.
For Ondřej, cooking is not just work, but fun. His
passion for creating the ultimate gastronomic
experience has led Ondřej to perform in several
competitions. From 2005 – 2008, he competed
with the junior national team of the Czech Republic, with which he won two silver medals in
international competitions in 2006 - the IKA Culinary
Competition, held in Erfurt, Germany, and the
Culinary World Cup in Luxembourg. In the same year,
the team was placed 1st in the Gastro Hradec culinary
competition. This was followed in 2007/2008 by a
junior category Chef of the Year bronze medal, a
position he defended well after returning from abroad
to win third place in the Chef of the Year 2013/2014 as
a senior. Ondřej’s favourite hobbies include attending
Michelin restaurants, his love of food also inspiring his
growing collection of first-class cookbooks.

held in the Czech Republic and, together with her team-mates, she represented the Czech Republic
in the IKA Culinary Olympics 2012 in Erfurt, Germany where she won a bronze medal. In the past

The Golden City of Prague
This city of legendary beauty known as the “Golden City” or the “City of One Hundred Spires” is
situated on the winding banks of the Vltava River. Prague’s position at the crossroads of centuriesold trade routes has made it a popular destination for travellers, and with its romantic atmosphere,
unique combination of architectural styles and many historic monuments such as the Prague Castle,
Old Town Square, Municipal House, Rudolfinum and Charles Bridge, Prague is an art-filled jewel
in the very heart of Europe. The historical centre of Prague is listed as a UNESCO world heritage
site, but the City is just as well known for its art and cultural scene. Visitors can choose from
various museums, galleries, theatres, music clubs and traditional pubs, as well as fine dining
restaurants.
The Leading Hotels of the World
As the largest luxury hotel collection, with more than 420 of the world’s greatest properties in over
80 countries, The Leading Hotels seek out the exceptional. From grand palaces to intimate city
hideaways, from ancient castles to sumptuous safari tent villages, from tropical aeries to mystical
paradises, all are utterly unique and boldly independent. Each celebrates the culture of its
destination, rather than trying to mask it with corporate-mandated sameness. Established in 1928 by
several influential and forward-thinking European hoteliers, it started with 38 initial members. With
eight-decade-long commitment to providing unforgettable, authentic travel experiences, LHW
selects only hotels that meet the highest standards for quality and distinctiveness. To The Leading
