To get to the hotel from the airport, take bus no. 119 to the last stop, Dejvicka, on the green line (line A), and then take the metro to station Florence. Exit the station, cross tram tracks, follow the street to the bridge, don’t cross the road, turn right, and keep going until you see the Hilton (about 3 minutes away).
The hotel is a modern building of blue glass, and it takes up a whole city block. There is, both above ground and underground, parking that costs 50Kc per hour or 750Kc for 24 hours. The hotel is very large; it has eight floors and is built as a square with an atrium. Two elevators have glass sides, and you can enjoy the view as you are going up. In the lobby there are several shops that sell jewelry and crystal ware. There are several small fountains with flower beds on top and a restaurant with a beautiful carpet. On the fourth floor, there is a modern art piece that looks like a ball made of needles. Balconies facing the atrium have tropical plants on them.
The room I was given had one king-size bed and a sofa that would pull out into a full-size sleeper. There was also a desk with a chair, a coffee table, two nightstands, several paintings on the walls, and a large wardrobe with a full-size mirror. A teakettle and iron were in the room. The bathroom was a decent size with a sink and a bathtub. The toilet was separate, with its own door. Furniture was of cherry color and had a birds-eye design.
I bought a phone card at the airport. It comes with a smart chip, of which the smallest denomination is 200Kc; each minute to US costs about 6 to 9Kc. You can use those in the phones in the Hilton lobby. The hotel has a sauna, which is complementary, and a gym, which you have to pay for. The executive lounge is on the eighth floor.
