The former hotel building, with its courtyard wings, included a restaurant, ballroom, and hotel rooms. For many years it was no longer in use and fell into disrepair.
The conversion to the new function did not require extensive interventions into the load-bearing structures, and the basic scheme of the original layout proved to be utilisable. The eastern façade facing the square was retained in its original form except for one glazed dormer. A local extension with a two storey residential unit was added to the western courtyard façade.
The design intended to exploit the simple, unadorned qualities of the original building, including its interiors, for the new function and integrate original artisan details.
The new entrance hall includes a restored inlay by Bohumír Matal. In addition, there is a mural by Patrik Hábl in the new café facing the square, with a plan to modify one section of the public space for outdoor seating in the future.
