Julius Meinl Living - House of Julius Meinl

Space to live, beautifully

Julius Meinl Living, through its group companies, acquires prime real estate in Europe’s most celebrated capitals, each property chosen for what it could become: an exceptional luxury hotel in a remarkable building. We develop and operate every hotel ourselves, and our flagship properties carry the name The Julius.

Our hotels offer something rare. The character, craft and quiet warmth of true luxury, designed for a single night or a season. Alongside beautifully appointed rooms, our suites come complete with fully equipped kitchens, giving guests who stay longer the space and freedom to truly settle in.

Across the US, Asia and much of Western Europe, travelers have long sought this kind of stay. Central Europe tells a different story. Here, the appetite remains far greater than the market can answer. We intend to write that next chapter.

The Julius: Hotels & Services

Generosity of space defines The Julius. Our rooms average 35 m², and most unfold into a true living space: a comfortable lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, a beautifully appointed bedroom and bathroom. Five-star comfort, offered at a price that quietly surprises.

Each hotel provides everything you would expect of fine hospitality, from attentive daily service to thoughtfully designed shared spaces. And through intelligent use of technology, we open the door to far more: a curated range of services that adapt to each guest, whether they arrive for business or for pleasure.

The Properties

Our flagship hotel, The Julius Prague, opened in spring 2022 on Senovážné Náměstí in the heart of the Czech capital. It offers 168 rooms & suites.

Designed by the renowned architecture and design studio Matteo Thun & Partners, The Julius Prague balances modern luxury with warmth, comfort and ease. It carries the timeless spirit of European hospitality into the present day: a place to relax, explore, work and truly settle in.

At its centre sits The Brasserie. By day, it’s a bright setting for lunch or relaxed working. As evening arrives, the lights soften and the space turns to drinks, dinner and conversation.

The Julius Prague welcomes guests for a single night or an extended stay. Generously sized suites with fully equipped kitchens make longer visits effortless, while spacious lounges and professional co-working areas invite guests to meet, network or simply unplug.

Our second property, the Escala Hotel & Suites in Budapest, was acquired in June 2021 and offers 51 suites.

Acquired in March 2024, our Bucharest property is now being redeveloped to open as The Julius Bucharest in 2028 with 160 rooms & suites. A 2025 acquisition on Hegedű Street will become The Julius Budapest, opening in 2029 with 121 rooms & suites. The Julius Berlin, acquired in 2026, will follow in 2028 with 100 rooms & suites.

Central Europe & Beyond

Julius Meinl Living invests across the European Union, with the flexibility to look beyond it. Our initial focus, however, is deliberate: the capital cities of Central Europe, including Prague, Budapest and Bucharest. We believe these cities offer the strongest opportunity for our model today, combining rising demand with markets still waiting to be served.

In September 2024, The Julius Fund launched in the Czech Republic. The fund offers qualified investors the opportunity to share in the success of The Julius concept through shares and bonds issued by Julius Meinl Living Plc.
