History

Villa Lanna was built in 1872 by industrial entrepreneur and art collector Vojtěch Lanna to be a summer residence. It was designed by Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann, and is decorated with frescoes painted by Viktor Barvitius on the basis of cartoons by Josef Mánes. Viktor Barvitius is also the author of fresco decorations on the interior.

The villa is situated in the Bubeneč district of Prague. Its grounds are along the former main road used to reach Stromovka Park.

Building arrangement

The ground floor is composed of a foyer with a reception desk and two social halls with rich murals. The smaller social hall, originally the billiard room, with the seating capacity of 18 is optimal for holding ceremonial lunches or dinners. The larger hall, with the option of an outdoor terrace, is suitable for holding seminars, conferences, banquets, weddings and family celebrations.

The first floor consists of a lounge with a terrace offering a view of the garden. A recently reconstructed tower gives a view not only of the surroundings of Villa Lanna, but also of the Prague Zoo or the Troya castle with its contiguous vineyards.

Accommodation

Guests can choose from various options of accommodation. There are 7 rooms on the 1st floor of Villa Lanna; bathrooms are shared by two rooms. In the year of 2000, the accommodation capacity was extended by 17 rooms with the addition of two separate buildings on the grounds. These rooms have private bathrooms. A barrier-free room is also available. All rooms are equipped with a satellite TV, a refrigerator, a telephone and a wi-fi or cable connection.
