Iron Gate Hotel & Suites hosts conferences, company events, receptions and banquets for up to 150 guests in the Jilská Palace Hall, plus private dinners and small meetings for up to 18 in the Jay Room. The hotel stands at Michalská 19 in Prague's Old Town, two minutes on foot from Old Town Square.
Seminars and company events
The Jilská Palace Hall is the main event space. The hotel states a maximum of 150 people and lists congresses, conferences, company events, receptions, banquets, training sessions, presentations and fashion shows among the formats it hosts. The room carries modern audiovisual equipment, which suits plenary sessions and product presentations.
For smaller groups, the Jay Room takes up to 18 people. The hotel proposes it for private lunches and dinners, working meetings, training and family celebrations. A board dinner or a steering committee fits here without booking the large hall.
Rooms and capacities
Two spaces can be booked: the Jilská Palace Hall (150 people) and the Jay Room (18 people). Both sit inside the same historic complex as the guest rooms, so participants do not travel between the meeting and the hotel. The hotel handles requests for either space directly.
Accommodation
The hotel has 71 rooms and suites. Categories include Superior Twin, Superior Double, Junior Suite, Deluxe Suite, Iron Gate Suite, Duplex Suite, Goliath Suite and Tower Suite. Most rooms keep original frescoes from the 14th century or painted wooden ceilings, so each room differs from the next. Guests have free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, room service and a concierge service. A computer and printer are available for guests who need to finish documents before a session.
A group that fills the hotel can stay and meet under one roof. For larger events, the hotel's rooms can be combined with the hall to house speakers and attendees on site.
Catering
The hotel restaurant, Deer, prepares most of its dishes in house. The menu combines traditional Czech cooking with some international dishes and includes game. A bar is also part of the hotel. Catering for events in the hall or the Jay Room is arranged with the hotel when you send a request.
History and setting
The building is the House at the Iron Door (Dům U železných dveří). It began as a Gothic complex, was rebuilt in the 16th century, and later received baroque and neoclassical changes. Around 1720 a tower was added to the house, with two floors at the level of the third and fourth storeys. The hotel describes the building as a national monument since 1958, within the Prague historic centre listed by UNESCO. The hotel is arranged around a quiet private courtyard and atrium.
Getting there
The hotel is in the historic centre, a few minutes' walk from Charles Bridge, the National Theatre, Wenceslas Square, the National Museum and the Rudolfinum. Covered garages near the hotel are available to guests, and the hotel can arrange a chauffeur and valet service. Contact reception in advance to organise parking.
