Picolo recommends · Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic
Aria Hotel Prague
A roof terrace that looks down into a baroque garden and up to the castle, in a hotel where every floor is given over to a style of music.
At dusk, the terrace on top of Aria is hard to leave. Below you lie the terraced lawns and statues of the Vrtba Garden, above you the castle, and the steep streets of Malá Strana go quiet as the day visitors head back over the river.
The hotel is built around music. Floors are devoted to genres and rooms to individual composers and musicians, and there is a music director on hand to help you find concerts during your stay.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Aria Hotel Prague
This is our pick for a romantic trip to Prague. The terrace view is the clincher, and the attention to detail in the rooms and the music theme makes a weekend here feel like a small occasion.
The rooms are not big, and the interiors are dark and rich rather than light. If themed hotels make you wince, or you want a bright, airy room, look at another hotel in Malá Strana.
What you get
- Roof terrace above the Vrtba Garden
