Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Leonardo Prague

Along with the usual singles, doubles, and suites, apartments are offered here at this enviable location: a quiet street near the Vltava River. The upbeat and helpful staff is a plus in a city not always known for quality service. There's free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

The hotel has its own wedding planner.

room

Rooms are modern with art deco flourishes (bentwood armchairs, ornate sconces), in a brown and orange palette.

YOU SHOULD KNOW The four top-floor junior suites look out on the river, Prague Castle, and the Charles Bridge, but note that other top-floor rooms have smaller windows with limited views.

bathroom

Bathrooms have marble tile detailing and soft linens, with nice touches like a small vanity mirror alongside the main mirror.

lobby

The pleasant yellow-beige facade of the hotel is echoed in the lobby, with the signs of the zodiac framed along the reception desk.

dining

The hotel's Platina restaurant and garden is an attractive location inside and out for a spot of modern Czech cooking.

drinking

The restaurant area doubles up as a bar, and supping a glass of wine or a tasty tankard of pivo (beer) in the courtyard/garden area, which has an open air section and a glass roof, is a relaxed start to an evening out in the Czech capital.
