Drahý hotel

Expensive hotel

معنی

A hotel with high prices.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Prague, 'drahý hotel' usually refers to anything over 3000 CZK per night. In smaller cities like Ostrava, 1500 CZK might be considered 'drahý'. The phrase is often used by 'Honest Guide' (Janek Rubeš) on YouTube to warn tourists about overpriced places in the city center. Czech companies often have strict limits on 'drahé hotely' for employees, preferring 'penziony' or 3-star options. During the communist era, 'drahé hotely' were often reserved for foreigners and the elite, creating a lingering association between high prices and exclusivity.

💡

Use 'Moc'

Add 'moc' (very/too) before 'drahý' to sound more natural when complaining: 'To je moc drahý hotel!'

⚠️

Gender Agreement

Don't forget that 'hotel' is masculine. If you talk about a 'restaurace' (restaurant), it's 'drahá restaurace'.

The 'Dear' Trap

If you want to say a hotel is your 'dear' favorite, use 'můj milovaný hotel' to avoid being misunderstood as talking about the price.

💬

Prague vs. Brno

Be careful using this phrase with locals; what is 'drahý' for a student is 'levný' for a tourist.
