'Five Quarters' of Prague
Visiting Old Town, Prague Castle and Strahov Monastery – staying at fine central hotels
Hotel Rott
In the very centre of Prague adjoining Old Town Square with a beautiful frescoed façade, this newly refurbished 4-star hotel combines the historical atmosphere of original Roman houses with modern amenities. Restaurant, Lobby Bar and 83 spacious rooms with private facilities, hairdryer, mini-bar and satellite TV.
Hotel Pariz
In Bohumil Hrabal’s novel ‘I Served the King of England’,
the narrator describes some fi rst impressions: ‘the Hotel Pariz was a wonder to behold’ he recalls, ‘so beautiful in fact that I almost fell over. The mirrors on the wall, the copper banisters, the door handles, and the impeccably polished chandeliers...’ Thankfully neither the totalitarian nor the developer’s hand has over the intervening period ravaged this splendid scene. Built in art nouveau style (1907) this 5-star landmark hotel has been updated to suit the demands of the modern traveller with the ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ restaurant and Café de Paris. 86 rooms with airconditioning, private facilities, hairdryer, safe, mini-bar and satellite TV.
