Opened in 2006, the Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa has been created from four renovated bourgeoise houses in Prague’s beautiful Lesser Town.

Structured in the seventeenth century, this hotel gives guests and visitors the true experience of staying in an elegant and luxurious boutique accommodation.

Representing Belle Époque architecture, the Le Palais Art Hotel constructed in 1871 provides a true representation of what it’s like to stay in the lively hub of Prague’s second district. While not situated in the old town, Le Palais Art Hotel is centered around the city’s best culinary experiences and nightlife offered in the city. Some of which, are located on the hotel’s property, as it’s home to fine dining spots like Restaurant Artista.   

Situated on the winding cobblestone streets of Prague’s old town is Domus Henrici’s Boutique Hotel. Steps away from Prague’s Castle, guests can enjoy the convenience of being in the historic center from many of the city’s traditional and historic landmarks. As Domus Henrici is located just a short walk away from Charles Bridge, it’s recommended that guests take advantage of a staple bucket list item and see the sunrise from the middle of the bridge as the sun sheds light onto old town. Those staying at this boutique hotel, are treated to complimentary coffee and tea as well as breakfast and wifi.

Recommended for those who appreciate the art of Prague and want to experience the true meaning behind the city of a hundred spires, The Grand Mark is the ideal accommodation destination.

Designed by Barbora Skorpilova and structured by architect Borek Sipek, Design Hotel Neruda is a true nod to hospitality incorporating quality and luxury. Promising unique amenities, welcome gifts upon arrival, as well as complimentary breakfast, it almost would appear that the cherry on top (for the Design Hotel Neruda) is the close proximity to iconic spots such as Prague Castle and Lennon’s Wall. While being located in the heart of the historic city center is the major draw of the Design Hotel Neruda, it’s clear that their characteristic and charm make the experience for guests one to remember.

Merging together comfort, quality, prime location and convenience are just a few offerings provided by Savic Hotel in Prague’s city center.
