The Hotel Alcron was constructed by its owner/architect Alois Krofta, a local businessman, and opened in 1932.

[2] Pre-WWII guests included Charlie Chaplin and Winston Churchill, while Joachim von Ribbentrop and Karl Hermann Frank stayed at the hotel during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.

[4] Following the fall of communism, the hotel closed in 1990, and the Krofta family filed claims for restitution in 1992.

The three women were eventually each given 1/3 ownership, which they each sold in 1995 to an Austrian-based firm, Crown WSF Ltd.[3] In 1996, the new owners contracted Radisson SAS Hotels to manage the property upon its reopening.

It was completely rebuilt and modernized at great expense, with the historic public rooms restored to their original Art Deco style.
