LOCATION
Location of a hotel is one of the key factors to make hotel a success. This argument is valid even
more for the smaller hotel. The smaller size and the market of excellent services appeals very
much now to the modern-thinking independent travelers. A Small Charming Hotel should be situated
within the Prague city centre, yet in a quiet street, allowing its guest to reach the centre
by walking. The Small Charming Hotel is an oasis just slightly away from the noise and hustle-bustle
of busy streets and plazas.
CHARACTER
There is no charm without character. Character of the hotel is mainly created by the building
architecture and its infrastructure. The property´s character must make the guest feel comfortably,
allowing him to have fast access to hotel public areas and yet offering enough privacy when needed.
An important aspect is the building size. According to our experience, maximum hotel capacity under
standard Prague conditions, where a proper character can be developed and maintained does not exceed
the 100 rooms.
HOSPITALITY
This discipline is under the absolute influence of hotel personnel. The guest must always feel he
is welcome at the hotel, each member of staff must show her/his sincere interest in helping and
assisting the customer. Each guest must have the feeling she/he is not just a booking reference,
but as an individual she/he is very welcome at the hotel. Hotel personnel must be truly professional:
cordial and friendly, but discreet at the same time. In our terminology, “Hospitality” we understand
as discreetness but not ignorance; cordiality but not insolence, precision but not lack
of cordiality. Attention to the guest starts the moment he books his room and it ends the moment
he leaves the hotel door. Every stay musts be a memorable one! This approach differentiates Small
Charming Hotels from larger properties, where dedication to individual guests’ needs are limited
due to the smaller ratio of service personnel to the clients.
CATERING
Catering is a very important service which strongly contributes to the overall opinion the guest
makes about a hotel. Breakfast is crucial: the assortment and quality and the presentation of food
and beverage, plus the friendliness of the catering personnel is extremely important part
of our concept. For the guest breakfast is often, after accommodation, the only service consumed
in the hotel, and therefore contributes greatly to the guest´s opinion about the total quality
of the hotel.
CALM
Calm is a contrived and controlled atmosphere in our hotel concept. As we realize it, Calm is not
the antinomy to Noise, as most guests are willing to spend their valuable time in a hotel, which
is right in or very near to the city center and generally noisy. The hotel management must create
a calm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the hotel. Great attention must be placed on creating
a comfortable and calm environment for the guests in their rooms. They must never be disturbed
by any operational process ongoing in the building, and certainly never unnecessarily bothered
by over an overly zealous staff. Establishing this relaxing and calm environment is the result
of perfect organization and coordination among the hotel management and staff. No managerial
stress would ever be passed onto guests.
CHARM
Charm does not necessarily mean luxury in our concept. Charm is that rare ambiance that is created
from excellent taste displayed in the art of hospitality combined with the presentation and use
of the hotel’s physical plant, its services and its character in a way that creates a clear and
positive impression on the guest. Charm as we mean it, will be comprehensively and constant
displayed throughout the total Hotel experience. Our hotel management and service personnel
will be trained and managed in our approach that not only considers the basic services and amenities,
by very importantly, attention to all details. This is what many times makes
the difference!
