Winding cobblestoned streets, arched stone bridges, skyline-dotting spires… the city of Prague is built to charm. A unique blend of just about every architecture style, from Romanesque to Gothic to Art Nouveau, the Czech capital has a lot to offer visiting design and history buffs alike—and consequently, the best hotels in Prague have a lot to live up to. When the backdrop looks like it’s been plucked straight from the pages of a fairy tale, bland hospitality simply won’t do.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Hotels in Prague:
- For Design Inspiration: Sir Prague Hotel
- For a State-of-the-Art Spa: Mandarin Oriental
- For Five-Star Luxury: Four Seasons Prague
- For a Mod Boutique Stay: Hotel Josef
- For an Extended Visit: The Julius
If you’re planning a visit to the City of a Hundred Spires (even its nickname is idyllic), consider timing it to the fall. Fewer tourists and mild weather make it a the optimal moment to explore every corner of the town; and with the right accommodation, your trip will be made all the more memorable. Traditionalists in search of a luxury hotel with old-world elegance definitely have their pick of exceptional options—both the Mandarin Oriental and the Four Seasons have Prague outposts; the former is located in a Medieval monastery—though those who prefer boutique stays are also in luck. The city’s newest crop of properties pays homage to its bohemian roots through rich colors and eclectic pairings.
Ahead, take a look at eight of the best hotels in Prague.
Mandarin Oriental
Housed in a circa 14th-century monastery, this sprawling property is well-positioned in the heart of the city and offers 99 rooms and suites to choose from. Period details—like vaulted ceilings and original parquet flooring—dot the hotel, and some of the guest rooms overlook the tranquil monastery garden. From June to September, you can sit outside on a sunny terrace at the Monastiq restaurant, which serves up contemporary Czech dishes. The real highlight, though, has to be the spa: It’s located in a former Renaissance chapel, where glass floors reveal Gothic ruins.
- Amenities: Spa, fitness center, on-site restaurant, bar, meeting spaces, sauna
- Bonus Tip: Pre-spa treatment, unwind in the tea lounge with a cup of herbal tea to get in the relaxation mindset.
- Address: Nebovidská 459/1, Malá Strana, Prague, 118 00
Sir Prague Hotel
Bordering Prague’s New Town by the Vltava river, Sir Prague opened its doors earlier this year and is already making a name for itself. This is in no small part due to the design: Courtesy of Linda Boronkay (the former design director of Soho House), each of the 76 rooms both references the traditional charm of the city and gives it its own flair. (The zellige terracotta-and-burgundy tiling and matching marble in the bathroom feels decidedly current; the ancient wood beams in the bedroom bordering it, less so.) After a day of sightseeing, unwind in the cozy, Murano chandelier-lit library, or head outside to the quiet courtyard to grab a bite.
- Amenities: Gym, library, courtyard, on-site restaurant, bar, pet-friendly
- Bonus Tip: Fans of cubism will appreciate the custom, hand-painted artwork done in the style, spread out in each of the guest rooms.
- Address: Náplavní 1618/6, Prague, 120 00
Hotel Josef
Another newcomer, this one from 2002 (“new” is relative in a city that’s over 1,000 years old), Hotel Josef offers a sleek antidote to many of Prague’s more indulgent, ornate hotels. It’s the work of architect Eva Jiřičná, who prioritized minimalism through an abundance of glass and steel in each guest room, offset by warm ’70s colors and plush textiles so your stay will still feel welcoming. Wellness is a big focus at Hotel Josef: There’s a spa and a gym, yes, but guests are also invited to participate in morning runs on Tuesdays and Fridays and sign up for personal training. If you want a balance of old and new during your trip to the Czech city, this is the stay for you.
- Amenities: Fitness center, on-site bakery, personal trainer, bar, spa, terrace, garden, sauna
- Bonus Tip: Don’t skip the breakfast: There’s an on-site bakery that uses flour imported from France for its flaky croissants.
- Address: Rybna 20, Prague, 110 00
Mozart Prague
Named for perhaps its most famous guest (this spot dates back to 1765), The Mozart is located in Pachtuv Palace and was re-christened in 2021. This spacious hotel houses 69 rooms and suites, a wellness center that includes everything from a salon to a sauna, a restaurant, and a café. Decor-wise, expect grandeur at every turn, from the four-poster beds in every bedroom to crystal chandeliers to (in some instances) intricately detailed murals covering every square inch of the ceiling. Even the courtyard, where guests can start their days with a leisurely breakfast, feels impossibly opulent.
- Amenities: Spa, sauna, multiple on-site restaurants, bar
- Bonus Tip: A complimentary smart phone is included in each room—perhaps not a giant innovation in 2025, but it’s useful if you want to pare back your own screen time and use the provided one to navigate the city.
- Address: Karoliny Světlé 208/34, Prague 1, 110 00
Four Seasons Prague
Classic five-star luxury meets Old Town charm in the Prague outpost of the Four Seasons. The hotel is situated by the Vltava River, with the iconic Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square within easy walking distance. The hotel has a range of rooms to choose from, starting with guest rooms outfitted in lavish jacquard textiles and marble bathrooms and going all the way up to a private villa that can sleep nine. From an Italian fine dining restaurant to a rooftop Japanese spot, the Four Seasons takes a global approach to its eateries; though you can also get a taste of local treats at the traditional afternoon tea, hosted daily in the Gallery surrounded by Czech artwork.
- Amenities: Indoor pool, spa, fitness center, airport shuttle, afternoon tea, multiple on-site dining options, bar
- Bonus Tip: Warm up before dinner by grabbing a martini from the martini trolley in the seasonal lounge.
- Address: Veleslavinova 2a, Prague, 110 00
W Prague
One of the newer arrivals to Prague’s hospitality scene, W Prague opened its doors in December of 2024. Well, technically, re-opened would be the more accurate statement: The luxury hotel is housed in the old Grand Hotel Europa, which has been carefully restored (while incorporating a few of those glitzy features the W brand is known for along the way—none of the 161 rooms could be accused of pared-back minimalism). There’s a spa, a hot tub, a pool, and two sauna spaces for kicking back before a night on the town. Or, you could also stay in. The hotel puts up weekly DJ sets—best enjoyed from the rooftop terrace, which boasts panoramic city views.
- Amenities: Indoor pool, spa, fitness center, bar, mutiple on-site retaurants, rooftop terrace, pet-friendly
- Bonus Tip: The hotel is situated right on the bustling Wenceslas Square, which, come November, hosts a truly impressive Christmas market.
- Address: Vaclavske Namesti 826/25, Praha 1, Prague, 11000
The Julius
If you like the home feel of an Airbnb but the convenience of a hotel, The Julius may be the way to go. Nearly all of the rooms and suites come with a full kitchen (complete with Villeroy Boch plates and Smeg appliances), so you can prep meals at home and really get comfortable. Clean lines and a fall color palette rule in this mod space, which seems tailor-made to serve as a calming base from which to explore the city—or use as a temporary home for longer stays. Speaking of: Remote workers with deadlines to answer to will love the co-working space, which is well-outfitted with lots of seating, a smart TV, and a coffee area.
- Amenities: Fitness center, on-site restaurant, bar, EV charging, bike rentals, kitchens, self-service laundry
- Bonus Tip: There’s a gourmet food shop located right next door that sells Julius Meinl-branded products (the hotel’s founder) like fine chocolates and artisanal marmalades, should you want to pick up a souvenir from your stay.
- Address: Senovážné Náměstí 3, Prague, 110 00
Iron Gate Hotel Suites
It’s not often you get to stay in a UNESCO-protected building; the Iron Gate Hotel, whose origins can be traced to the 14th century, offers you that chance. It has been renovated a few times, but the history of the space remains front and center—including a Gothic roof truss from approximately 1380 and a handful of similarly dated wall frescoes. It’s not all old-world, though. Each of the 71 guest rooms and suites is equipped with modern creature comforts. Deer, the hotel’s restaurant helmed by executive chef Lubomír Dolejš, puts a contemporary twist on traditional Czech food with dishes like Kulajda soup and Fallow deer carpaccio.
- Amenities: Airport shuttle, on-site restaurant, bar, pet-friendly
- Bonus Tip: Take advantage of the chauffeur service for easier pick-ups and drop-offs.
- Address: Michalska 19, Prague, 11000
