Augustine Hotel, Prague

Augustine Hotel, Prague occupies part of a working 13th-century Augustinian monastery in Malá Strana, beneath Prague Castle and within an easy walk of Charles Bridge. Its 101 rooms and suites are arranged across historic buildings, where vaulted ceilings, frescoes, stone arches and restrained contemporary detailing preserve the atmosphere of the former monastic complex without turning the experience into a museum stay. The hotel’s character is quiet and inward-looking, with gardens and terraces offering a welcome pause from the city’s busy streets. Dining centres on Augustine Restaurant, which places modern interpretations of local and European flavours in a former monastery setting, while The Refectory Bar serves drinks and the property’s St. Thomas beer. A spa, fitness facilities, event spaces and access to selected church and library tours add substance beyond the rooms. It is a distinctive base for exploring Prague on foot, with history always close at hand.
