Urban Sketching: Hotels President and Intercontinental
Hosted by Ezequiel Gomez
2025-09-13 15:00 from 2025-09-13 15:00 2025-09-13 15:00
Right in the centre of Prague, on the banks of the Vltava river, there are two iconic buildings. Hotels President and Intercontinental (now Fairmont) are considered by some as an eyesore in the middle of the Jewish Quarter, and by others as some of Prague’s finest representatives of Brutalism. They have both been renovated several times trying to respect the original designs and Intercontinental reopened this year as Fairmont Golden Prague after years of renovation. Which one do you like/dislike more? This is an invitation to challenge ourselves by sketching something different, trying to draw one or a comparison of both. Join us and don't forget your palette of browns and grays!
