Picolo recommends · Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic
Four Seasons Hotel Prague
Wake up to the Vltava under your window and Charles Bridge and the castle lined up on the far bank, with the Old Town right behind you.
The first thing you notice is the water. The hotel stands on the Old Town bank of the Vltava, and from its restaurant and best rooms the river, Charles Bridge and the castle hill fit into one view that most visitors only see from the bridge itself.
Behind the facade, several historic houses have been joined to a newer wing, so one room may be baroque in spirit and the next clean and modern. The lanes of the Old Town start at the back door, yet very little of their noise makes it inside.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Four Seasons Hotel Prague
We chose it for the setting and the service. If you want Prague’s classic view from your own room and a hotel that runs smoothly from arrival to checkout, this is the one in town that does both.
It is the most expensive stay on our Prague list, and it is large. Travellers who want a small hotel with a neighbourhood around it, or who would rather spend the money on restaurants, will find better value elsewhere.
