Augustine, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Prague
Ancient accommodations with a luxe touch
Nestled at the heart of the quiet district of Malá Strana, this 101-room hotel oozes historical charm, sited, as it is, in seven conjoined buildings – including a monastery – that date back to the thirteenth century. Bright, inviting guest quarters provide a stunning home base for tourists keen on exploring nearby Prague Castle, though in-house amenities – including a terraced, Czech-cuisine eatery and a bar housed in the monastery’s erstwhile barrel-vaulted hall – make a convincing case for an evening in. The spa, too, entices with invigorating treatments based on ancient recipes from the Augustinian order of monks.
