“The “city of a hundred spires,” Prague is endowed with an incredible mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture. Once the crossroads of centuries-old trade routes, it’s now the cultural and economic centre of the Czech Republic, and one of the most visited cities in Europe.”
Four Seasons Prague is a luxury Old Town hotel situated on the bank of the Vltava River less than a minute’s walk from the famous Charles Bridge. The property is an amazing feat of architecture, a mix of old and new – an amalgam of four different structures resulting in a fantastic combination of old-fashioned luxury, modern technology and design.
This one-of-a-kind building has 141 guest rooms and 20 suites, each a different shape and size due to the particular design; you may stay in a Neo-classical, Neo-Renaissance or Baroque room. You can choose your style of stay, historical housing or modern pad. Our Renaissance room was decorated in muted blues and greens, with complementing Czech-style panels and a crystal chandelier hanging over the epic bed. The subtle and gentle colour scheme encouraged relaxation. It was the perfect retreat for a frantic city-discovery weekend.
It was easy to cool down and refresh in the full marble bathroom, complete with rainforest shower and huge Jacuzzi-bath. The ornate vintage carpet was a lovely, and surprising addition to the spacious bathroom. Like most Four Seasons hotels, the Prague branch supplies vibrantly scented L’Occitane miniatures in all the bathrooms.
In the mornings we enjoyed fresh juice, strong coffee and a magnificent buffet of continental and traditional Czech delights. It was the French Toast with maple syrup and roasted apple that really thrilled our tastebuds, the ideal morning treat.
The concierge organised in-room massages for the Sunday morning so we could relax in the privacy of our own room. It was expertly arranged, two therapists arrived at the door a few minutes before 10am to set up the equipment and towels.
Each Four Seasons hotel has its own style, character and personality though many share a love of Italian food and FS Prague is no exception – the restaurant, CottoCrudo is lovely for a casual, civilised Italian meal. We enjoyed an array of superior cold meats and Parmesan cheese, fragrant flavoursome pasta dishes and scrumptious desserts. I particularly enjoyed the creamy ravioli with asparagus and burrata, tomato and rocket salad. The service was exemplary, a kind waiter assisting us whenever needed. Prosecco was a welcome addition to the meal!
Perfectly located and perfectly poised, Four Seasons Prague is the ultimate haven of luxury for visitors to this quirky city.
