Best cheap hotel in Prague: Plaza Prague Hotel
Best boutique hotel in Prague: BoHo Hotel
“Pretty much everything in this gorgeous boutique hotel has a designer stamp on it. Appearing on Europe’s trendiest hotels lists, the Icon’s sleekly minimalist rooms are enlivened with a splash of imperial purple from the silky bedspread.”
“In the quiet, cobblestoned Mala Strana district, this Gothic-Baroque beauty feels like an urban oasis hidden in plain sight. A 14th-century monastery, the Mandarin Oriental hotel blends original architectural features with contemporary touches.”
“Consistently rated one of Prague’s best boutique hotels, the Golden Well is hidden away at the top of a narrow side street in Malá Strana. Effectively built into the side of a hill below Prague Castle, the location affords spectacular views of the city.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Prague.
“Part of Spain’s Barceló hotel group, the Occidental Wilson Hotel opened at the top of Wenceslas Square in early 2016, offering 53 rooms in a central location with views overlooking the square, the National Museum and the State Opera.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Prague, Czech Republic.
“Last year also saw the arrival of a new Dancing House Hotel. The location along the river and south of Old Town is excellent, though the real pleasure comes from getting to stay inside the landmark riverside building by architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Prague, Czech Republic.
“The 57-room property, which opened in late 2015, offers timeless modern design inside an early 20th-century building. If you are looking for a stylish retreat ideally situated in the center of Prague, this is an excellent option.”
“This upbeat hostel enjoys a fairly convenient location in Vinohrady, a quasi-boutique aesthetic, and a unique mix of dorms, private rooms and apartments that are dotted with designer furnishings and generally devoid of drunken backpacker groups.”
“A blend of four-star hotel and boutique hostel, Mosaic House is a cornucopia of designer detail, from the original 1930s mosaic in the entrance hall to the silver spray-painted tree branches used as clothes racks.”
“A highly recommended, eye-catching boutique hotel, the Absolutum is located across from Nádraží Holešovice metro station. While the industrial neighbourhood wouldn’t win a beauty contest, the hotel compensates with a nice list of amenities, including smartly designed rooms with exposed brickwork.”
“NYX (formerly Fusion) has style in abundance, from the revolving bar and spaceship-like UV corridor lighting, to the individually decorated bedrooms that resemble miniature modern-art galleries.”
