Pink bedspreads and furniture look out of place and dated
Le Palais Art Hotel Prague is a beautiful, luxury hotel in a residential area. The 72 rooms are spacious and homey, decorated with gorgeous paintings and sculptures though pink floral bedspreads are a bit much. The boutique hotel has an impressive art collection, an elegant Italian restaurant on-site, and a large
spa offering facials and massages. Free breakfast receives good reviews from
guests, and the hotel has an outdoor patio for those visiting in the summer. It’s
far from the main sightseeing attractions, but within walking distance to a
tram.
Scene
Luxury Belle Epoque property with art by Czech painter Milos Reindl
Built in the 19th century in the Belle Époque style,
Le Palais Art Hotel has beautiful architectural features including vaulted
ceilings and marble floors. There’s a wide range of art featured throughout the
hotel hallways, common areas, and rooms including sculptures, paintings, and
photographs. Two of the rooms feature art by Czech painter Milos Reindl along with personal photos of the artist. Luxurious indoor areas include a library with plum-colored velvet chairs and long romantic curtains as well as a lobby bar offering single malt whiskies
and Cuban cigars. There’s an elegant Italian restaurant with chandeliers and
white linens and a summer terrace where guests can enjoy a drink outside while
looking out at the rooftops of the Nusle Valley.
Location
Residential area removed from major attractions but close to a tram
The hotel
can be a challenge to find as it’s in a residential area where streets can
appear similar. The Le Palais is further from most sightseeing attractions than many other luxury hotels in Prague, but there’s a tram within a five-minute walk. Both Old Town Square with its famous Astronomical clock and Prague Castle can be
reached in less than 25-minutes on public transportation. The airport is around a 30-minute drive.
Rooms
Spacious, homey rooms with high-end bath products
Perky pink and yellow
bedding tart up otherwise classic rooms with pale walls and brownish carpeting. Homey
furnishings include wood desks, fabric chairs (more pink), and table lamps. Some rooms have
slanted ceilings, and two rooms feature urban art sketched on the walls, colorful
paintings, and framed photos of Milos Reindl. Le Palais Suite has a separate bedroom that feels more like a nook, with a big window, a small flat-screen TV, and a bed tucked into it. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, coffee/tea facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are
elegant, with brown marble countertops, matching shower/tub combos, makeup mirrors, and L’Occitane bath
products.
Features
Large fitness center, spa, and tasty breakfast
The large fitness center
is located in a carpeted basement room and includes a variety of equipment
including modern treadmills, exercise bikes, and free-weights, as well as a few dated-looking weight machines. The spa has a whirlpool,
sauna, and several showers and offers facials and massages for an additional charge. The free breakfast
buffet offers a variety of items and receives good reviews. A small, Italian restaurant on-site is convenient.
There’s also a lobby bar and an outdoor
terrace is available in the summer.
