Hotel Avion Fuchs Exhibit

The  Hotel Avion opened in 1929.  The most striking thing about the 10-storey hotel is that it is only eight metres (26 feet) wide.






The hotel was designed by Bohuslav Fuchs who is considered to be one of the most important Czech architects of the 20th century.  Most of his work is in Brno.

In 2010, the functional building was designated as a Czech Cultural Monument.  Following years of disrepair, the hotel was under renovation from 2016-2022.

Inside of the hotel is a museum exhibit of Fuchs' work in Brno.  Some of it I've seen before, such as the Bohuslav Fuchs House, and some I'll need to go check out.

The exhibit it pretty interesting.  It's free for hotel guests and 99 Kč ($5) for visitors.
