Fodor's Expert Review Aria Hotel

This charming music-themed property kicked off Prague's luxury hotel boom in the early 2000s and still holds up well against the competition. While the music theme may be more of a gimmick than an amenity, that's forgivable considering that the hotel hosts live concerts and even has an on-site music librarian. Rooms are sleek and decorated in sandy tones with red and pink punctuations, flat-screen TVs, and spacious, well-lit bathrooms. Another attraction is the rooftop restaurant and bar, with drop-dead gorgeous views of Prague. Although it's at the base of the street leading to the American embassy, there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
