Mandarin Oriental, Prague

The fantastic allure of Prague comes from its historic architecture. To create Mandarin Oriental, Prague we adopted the spirit of the city by carefully restoring a 14th century monastery that must be seen and experienced to be believed. Here, on the left bank of the Vltava River, are quiet, cobbled streets and the city's most picturesque houses under the watchful guard of Prague Castle. Guests can marvel at views of the city's ancient spires and red rooftops from our individually designed rooms and suites or indulge in our world-class Spa, located on the site of a small Renaissance church. Not to be outdone, our Baroque dining room is a fitting showcase for our innovative approach to cuisine and our Grand Ballroom, crowned by vaulted ceilings, is the ideal location for special occasions and meetings.

I spent my most recent birthday in Prague, a city I had always longed to visit for its historic architecture and magical appeal. Home base was the brand-new Mandarin Oriental, Prague. set inside a lovingly restored 14th-century monastery. From this left bank setting, I could spend hours strolling the quiet cobblestone streets. Later, from my individually designed suite, I had a bird's-eye view of the ancient spires and rooftops of the neighborhood. Don't miss dinner at Essenssa, where the Baroque atmosphere is as enticing as the extensive wine cellar and contemporary European cuisine.
