A frozen moment in history…
Nowhere carries the same sense of history as Prague; it’s in the very air here, in the stones, and even in the excellent ale served on nearly every corner. That’s probably why the Old Town sprawls over the city, containing so many sights that you rarely need to head further afield. The hotel places you right in the heart of the city’s timeless cobbled beauty, with an unbeatable base on the river Vltava, just steps from the Jewish Quarter. Stroll out of your door and explore a historic world with a thriving cultural heart, from churches to museums to bustling market squares guarded by austere statues speckled with age.
Traditional, rustic charm…
In the hotel, the sense of history is all pervasive, from the cuisine to the walls of the building. Exposed beams in some rooms and bare stone arches in the charming dining room ensure you never forget the special place you’re in, as you glimpse Prague’s jumbled roofs and languid river through the windows. At the same time, traditional Czech specialities can be found alongside international favourites on the restaurant menu, so the spell is never broken.
Bohemian opulence
Most of all, though, Prague is about spectacle, and this jewel of a hotel is full of it. From the innumerable chandeliers twinkling throughout to the omnipresent marble, gold and Art Nouveau splendour, it’s full of an unforgettable Eastern opulence.
