When Bohuslav Fuchs was tasked with building a hotel in limited space, with limited finances and time, it was a challenge. Hotel tours offer a unique opportunity to see how he met this challenge.

About the venue: Hotel Avion

A functionalist hotel on Česká street, built in 1928 to designs by architect Bohuslav Fuchs. Together with Villa Tugendhat, it is one of only two Brno buildings in this style listed as a national cultural monument. The structure occupies a plot just 8 × 34 metres wide and, at 40 metres tall, ranks among the narrowest hotels in Europe. Following reconstruction in 2016-2022, it offers 37 rooms, a restaurant, café, a museum dedicated to Fuchs, and a panoramic rooftop terrace.

About: Bohuslav Fuchs

A central figure of interwar Czech architecture, Fuchs gave Brno its modern face through functionalist buildings that still define the city today. Trained in Kotěra's studio and in contact with Le Corbusier, his body of work ranks among the lasting achievements of Central European avant-garde.
