Mandarin Oriental, Prague
Historic accommodations across the river



Built on the site of a restored 14th-century monastery, this elegant property, tucked into a cosy enclave of the cobblestoned Malá Strana district, is without a doubt among the city’s most celebrated hostelries. Its 79 rooms and 20 suites boast subtle earth tones and vibrant shades of blue, while in-house dining comprises mouth-watering Asian fusion cuisine courtesy of chef Jiří Štift, who works with ingredients sourced from the local countryside. An adjoining edifice – a former chapel – plays host to an atmospheric spa whose comprehensive treatment menu was developed according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.
