Independent in Walachije, Zlín: hotelgids voor Walachije

March 2016

Building Nr. 34, Zlín, Czech republic

Tomáš Baťa was born 140 years ago and after WWI he succesfully founded a shoe making business and he became the biggest shoe manufacturer and shoe retail seller in the world before WWII with some 35 thousand employees worldwide.

In Czech republic he actually reformatted the town of Zlín in South Moravia. In 1926 Baťa invited many architects (eg. Le Corbusier) and built a whole new aglomeration in Functionalism style. Not only the manufacturing halls, but also offices, shopping mall, hospital, cinema hall, hotel and houses for his employees.

Most of the new architecture was built before WWII, but some buildings added later actually respected the original vision seamlessly. One of them is the 10-storeyed central shoe storehouse, called Building Nr. 34 built in 1949-55 after the shoe factories were nationalized. With roughly 45 thousand square meters of space it is a real collossus. Ground floor was used for train transport, second for trucks. There was an oval rail on each storey and vertical movement was handled by elevators. On each side of the building there were outside fire escape stairs. As most of the buildings in Baťa's Zlín it had an steel and concrete sceleton made of 6x6 meters modules and raw bricks facade.

'The hotel (and offices , houses) has seen better days. Room is OK - large bed is of good quality. Breakfast is not up to standard and runs out before 8:00 without refill. the receptionist is the only person who understands english - other than that you need hands and feet for communication. Restaurant next to reception is of good qualtiy but not much people visiting. Parking behind the hotel has to be paid for and is very small - next parking is public but far distance.'

'Verbazingwekkend goed hotel in een vrij klein plaatsje waar je dit niet verwacht. Prachtige kamer (aparte slaapkamer), ramen kunnen open, waterkoker, minibar, mooie badkamer met bad en douche (hoewel douchekop te laag hangt en boven het bad zit). Vriendelijk personeel. Enorm goed ontbijt met van alles. Parkeerplaats is in het weekend te klein, maar achter het hotel zijn genoeg publieke plaatsen om te parkeren.'
