8 Best Hotels in Prague, Czech Republic

Rivaling the best design hotels in capital cities around the world, this unique retreat goes toe to toe with many of the city's grande dame hotels; it's smart, fresh, and funky, with a modern art deco theme created by a host of top-notch designers. There's an art tour, a rooftop spa, and gorgeous decor, with artworks scattered throughout the public areas, although the rooms are perhaps a little plain considering the thought put into the other areas of the 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.

Set in a 15th-century palace just steps from Námĕstí Republiky, this stunning hotel and spa brings a high level of service and attention to detail to a still-scruffy part of the center. While the original baroque exterior is impressive, rooms are handsome with a burgundy-and-brown palette, wooden floors, a small desk area, and some of Prague's best beds. Suites have kitchenettes, a separate sitting area, and nifty Czech modern art pieces like pendant chandeliers. The hotel restaurant, Le Grill, is delightful.

This isn't the flowing hippie boho vibe that the name implies: Hotel Boho is chic, sleek, cool, and located on a fairly uninspiring but quiet street not far from bustling Náměstí Republiky. Catering to a funky international clientele, staff are unruffled but friendly. Rooms are modern, in grays and beiges, with '50s-style retro chairs.

Cool, clean, white lines dominate the decor of this ultra-hip modern boutique hotel designed by London-based Czech architect Eva Jiricna. There are no suites, only single and double rooms, so the sizes range from small to smaller, but Jiricna knows how to manipulate space, glass, and color to make even the smallest space breathable. 

This design hotel in the heart of Staré Mĕsto is a tasteful fusion of light, airy modernism, a look that works perfectly in the lobby, with chrome lamps and square armchairs, but is less successful in the blue rooms, which can be a bit gloomy. The location can't be beat, with excellent restaurants nearby and a five-minute walk from Old Town Square or the Námĕstí Republiky Metro station. Guests can even borrow a goldfish to keep them company in their rooms.

Dripping with glamour, this mammoth 19th-century neoclassical palace is now part of the NH Collection. The high-ceilinged lobby space, which was once a post office, sets the tone, and the big beds, chairs, and touches of green velvet maintain the period feel in the rooms. Elsewhere, there are plenty of other baronial touches, including a gorgeous Roman spa with mosaic tile flooring, renovated in 2022. 

Since opening in 2013, this trendy design hotel has been one of Karlín's hippest sleeping options, offering stylish, contemporary rooms with quirky, vintage touches. Guests will particularly enjoy the huge, warehouse-like lobby and common area, complete with a good bar-restaurant and free-to-use pool table and PlayStation corner, as well as the well-equipped fitness center. In addition to attracting the young and fashionable, the hotel is also popular with business travelers, thanks to its choice of six conference rooms.
