The 791-room Hilton Prague is less opulent and less centrally located than its luxury competitors -- but rates are also lower. Its interior atrium with an impressive skylight makes a big first impression, but this hotel excels in business casual rather than luxurious formality. The conservative rooms are modern but generic, with minibars and flat-screen TVs, and only the Suites -- with an extra bathroom, kitchenette, and three-jet body showers -- truly displays luxury status. The hotel offers an array of amenities, including a casino, multiple dining options, 38 meeting rooms, an indoor pool, huge gym, and a spa, but certain parts of the property appear a bit dated and in-room Wi-Fi incurs a fee. A more stylish and centrally located option would be The Augustine Hotel Prague, but the rates reflect these upgrades.
Scene
Large, modern hotel that mainly attracts business travelers
Hilton Prague is housed in a blocky building made up of clean lines from modern steel and sharp angles from glass architecture. The
lobby opens up into a massive, sleek atrium featuring a pyramid-vaulted glass ceiling. Guests are able to relax on multiple levels in chocolate leather seating set on glossy cream and tan floors. With trees, plants, and flowers planted around the edges of the atrium and in boxes placed here and there, it feels like an outdoor courtyard. Some parts of the hotel are chic and stylish, like the rooftop bar with multi-colored mood lighting and contemporary leather seating. Overall, the hotel has a 21st-century minimalist style that’s not overly luxurious, but still on par with the Hilton brand of contemporary and sophisticated decor. The biggest drawback for some guests is
Location
Near public transportation and dining -- but a 20-minute walk or more to major sights
The Hilton Prague is situated just off the banks of Vltava River, between the historic district and the business district. It’s conveniently
located near restaurants and public transportation; there’s a trolley stop and a metro that’s five minutes away on foot. But the historic Old Town -- full of restaurants, shops, and tourist sites such as the famed astronomical clock -- is about a 20-minute walk away or five-minute drive. Other sights are too far to reach on foot and are better suited to driving. Prague Castle is a 10-minute drive from the hotel, while
Rooms
Contemporary rooms with flat-screen TVs, kettles, and minibars
Compared to the rest of the hotel, guest rooms are conservative, with a neutral gray palette. Headboards with gray padding and blond wood furnishings complement the gray curtains and white linens, while the neutral-toned art pieces and photographs add a modern touch.
All rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, coffee- and tea-making facilities, evening room service, and minibars. Wi-Fi is not free, however. Upgrading to the Executive Rooms or the Suites will get you free breakfast, plus each Suite has a seating area with sofa beds, a kitchenette with a microwave, and an extra bathroom. Some rooms have views of the city, while others have views of the atrium and lobby. There are smoking rooms available as well. Simple, tiled bathrooms
