More broadly, though, he said, 'Hotels, just like other accompanying services, should be a part of airports, especially in cosmopolitan cities like Prague.'
Bursik said the most critical need at the airport is conference facilities, but a hotel must accompany them.
'The construction of this site will give Prague the opportunity to host a number of meetings and conferences that ECM feels has been lost in Prague because of its absence,' Bursik said. He pointed out that the closest suitable facility now is the Diplomat Hotel, which he estimated is about a 20,minute car ride from the airport. -
