Today's use: Hotel

Today guesthouse Radun is used as a hotel, so you might sleep in a house of Bohuslav Fuchs.

Description

This house has three floors facing north, towards the street. To the right, at the northwest corner leads the entrance into the guesthouse. Since the terrain slopes towards the south, the south side has five storeys. This is ideal for running a guesthouse to have more rooms facing south. As the house is the last property standing in the street towards east, the balconies on the east side have also been made particularly large, compared to the guesthouses Viola and Avion next door. The addition of further building parts on the south side in 1939 made it possible to create even more balconies and terraces.

Like all Bohuslav Fuchs guesthouses in the Bílá čtvrť district, this one was also equipped with a living area for the owners. Otherwise, guest rooms and common rooms were located in the house. The facade was covered with a white lime plaster, which gave the quarter its name.

History

The building permit for the house was granted on January 25th, 1928 and the inauguration ceremony took place as on August 22nd, 1928. The owner of the house was Josef Martiník, a school headmaster from Vizovice. In 1939, extensions on the south facade were made at the owner's request. In communist Czechoslovakia, the guesthouse was nationalised and taken over by the Czechoslovak State Spa (Československé státní lázně) and was used as a children's sanatorium, at least until 2005. Extensive renovation works were carried out and the house was made suitable for the needs of a hotel.
