Hotel Juliš
Pavel Janák was clearly inspired by the famous Fuchs' Hotel Avion in Brno when designing the hotel.
On the site of the hotel, there originally stood a late Baroque building, which was purchased in 1917 by Karel Juliš with the intention of establishing a large confectionery factory here after the war. However, in 1919, he was not granted permission for a major reconstruction, so he requested modifications from Pavel Janák, who cubistically adjusted the ground floor and added two balconies. Inside, a café and patisserie (with decoration by František Kysela) were established. In the 1920s, a cinema was added to the rear. Due to increasing operational demands, Juliš applied again for a demolition permit in 1928, which he received after two years.
Pavel Janák was again commissioned to build a new building. He designed a reinforced concrete structure with a façade featuring alternating bands of glass and white opaxite.
On the ground floor, there was a large restaurant, patisserie, and café with internal galleries; the continuous space was enhanced by, among other things, glass partitions. Hotel rooms were located on the upper floors, and a cinema was in the basement.
Unlike Fuchs' Avion, the Juliš Hotel significantly exceeds the height of the buildings on either side, yet it is not taller within the block, which also includes Ludvík Kysela's Lindt house, the Baťa department store, Peterka's house, an early work by Jan Kotěra, and the most recent new building - the Euro Palace.
