“The reason is that CleverNet, a subsidiary of Open Gate, already owns the neighboring property and land where the Kellner Family Foundation project is being prepared for the new construction of the Open Gate Primary and Secondary School,” said the PPF Group.
The new owner plans to complete the removal of the hotel. The space of the existing hotel garden will be part of the new Open Gate complex after the completion of the project, the group reports. Originally, Savo originally said that the large company Maraflex could make residential apartments.
In February, a group of experts proposed declaring the Hotel Praha in Dejvice a cultural monument. According to them, the hotel, built between 1979 and 1981, is a completely unique example of architecture that deviates from the period average.

Already in January, in connection with the sale of the hotel, speculations arose that PPF had bought the building. Petr Kellner and his then partner Jiří Šmejc have a house next to the complex. In addition, the Commercial Register shows that Maraflex has the same address in Cyprus as several Kellner companies. At that time, PPF representatives refused to look into buying a hotel.
