LOCATION: I am looking out the windows from the first floor of a building on Ungelt and Tyn court and I am watching the human bustle below: tourists admiring the architecture, patrons in comfortable armchairs at the garden restaurant, and above all of that the majestic Tyn cathedral tower with its melodic bells. I visualize what the Ungelt looked like in the Middle Ages when it was also the center of commotion: foreign buyers who came with their goods, also admired the city's architecture, and refreshed themselves in the local pub. They always stayed here for at least three days to offer their goods as the law required.
As time went by, Tyn court witnessed a number of historic transformations - the said building burned down and was reconstructed in 1689. The mandatory fee for storing goods, the so-called UNGELT, has not been paid by foreign buyers for some time now. Nevertheless, foreigners continue to be the Ungelt´s most frequent visitors. Transformations of the times are rather symbolically brought to mind by the name Metamorphis restaurant immediately by the east gate into the Ungelt.
ACCOMMODATION: Each hotel Metamorphis Prague room offers you comfort and the base you need, including bathroom, satellite TV, telephone or security system. If needed, the reception desk will also provide a security box for valuables or secretarial services. If your are planning to stay longer, we would recommend suite no. 21 which is the largest and has a completely furnished kitchen. The room is ornamented with the original tiled stove. A perceptive visitor will surely be delighted by the quantity of live greenery or the original paintings by the contemporary Czech artist Miloslav Holec. All Metamorphis hotel rooms can be equipped with an extra bed.
