Description
The floor plan of the building is U-shaped. In the backyard are built two tall parts of the building next to the neighboring cells. They enclose a lower centre in which a swimming pool is integrated up to the second floor. Originally, this swimming pool was even equipped with a diving platform. The main facade differs with the ground and first floors from the rest of the facade. The emphasized first floor with big windows served as a cafe. The striking rest of the hotel's facade is dominated by an oriel, above which a canopy demonstratively protrudes over the street. The drama is heightened even further with the hotel's lettering AXA above the canopy. The two upper floors are slightly set back with terraces.

History
It was a team work of Vávlac Pilc as the architect an developer of the hotel and Běla Friedländerpová, a successful swimmer and diver. She must have had an influence on the construction of the hotel's swimming pool. She taught swimming and gymnastics mostly for women and girls. After the hotel was finished, she split off and married Václav Pilc.
This hotel was built between 1930 and 1932 and is today again in the hands of the family. The whole hotel was renovated in 2012 and 2013 and became a listed building in 2014.
