At the hotel
Co-working space with hot-desks and a break-out area, lounge, gym, self-service laundry room (staff service for an extra charge, on request), bike racks, and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: smart TV, organic bathrobes and slippers, ionic hairdryer, and vegan ADA Cosmetics bath products. And all rooms and suites have a kitchenette or kitchen with a ceramic stovetop, microwave, Smeg kettle (with teas) and toaster, coffee machine with capsules, fridge, and Villeroy & Boch bone-china crockery; some rooms have climate control too.
Our favourite rooms
A more burnished modern look here acts as a counterpoint to Prague’s fabulously fussy Baroque styling. However, the terracotta rooftops are reflected in the autumnal hues used, alongside sleek wood and marble finishes, and brass accents. The Penthouse has the best view that sweeps across the City of a Hundred Spires for lingering looks. And, if you do become so enamoured of Prague (easily done), all except the Superior Room have a kitchenette or kitchen and wardrobe space, for longer-term stays.
Packing tips
The hotel is as much a creatively charged community space as it is somewhere to relax, so bring your laptop for productive stretches in its co-working space, and download the Mywellness App, which can be linked to the gym’s equipment. And, staying here for, say, a month, is easily done, so bring a few extra outfits, and then download AppWash, which lets you use the self-service laundry room (a few euros a cycle, open 6am to 10pm) without the faff of finding change.
Also
The 98-square-metre guests-only gym (open 6am to 10pm) is divided into three zones (cardio, strength and ‘cooling down’), with top Technogym equipment (including a Kinesis Personal work-out machine).
Children
All rooms except the Superiors and Deluxe Studios have a fold-out sofa (free for under-6s), so families can comfortably stay; however, you can only watch the Astronomical Clock so many times, so bring your own distractions and any necessary toys or kit.
Sustainability efforts
The building has been awarded a LEED gold certificate and there are electric-vehicle charging stations on-site.
