The 100-room Augustine Hotel Prague is a luxury property housed in a series of renovated historic buildings, once part of a monastery, that dates back to the 13th-century.

Rooms are spacious and elegantly outfitted with contemporary decor, offering comfortable beds, well-stocked minibars, and large marble-tiled bathrooms with heated towel racks and floors. There's an elegant fine-dining restaurant as well as a popular and atmospheric basement bar. The hotel also has a luxurious spa that offers a variety of treatments and has a sauna, steam room, and modern fitness center.

Scene
Luxury hotel in converted monastery from the 13th-century with stylish, contemporary decor
Set across seven historic buildings that date back to 1284 and were once a monastery and a
brewery of the friars of Saint Augustine, this luxurious hotel retains many
historic architectural features, like vaulted stone ceilings, that are combined
with stylish, modern decor. The property can seem a bit labyrinthine at
first, though there is a consistent calm elegance across all of the spaces,
many of which are dotted with modern art pieces. The main lobby is
illuminated by a glass skylight and furnished with red and black cubist couches
and armchairs that pair well with contemporary sculptures and paintings
adorning the walls.
Location
Located in the small historic district of Mala Strana, close to Charles Bridge and Prague Castle
Located on a cobblestone street with a tram passing directly in front of it, the hotel is in a fairly touristy area with a lot of daytime foot traffic. It's about an eight-minute walk from the Charles Bridge and a 13-minute walk from Prague Castle in the Mala Strana, a beautiful and historic region of the city that is rife with winding
streets and lots of shops and restaurants. The Old Town with its famous square is just across the river and can be reached on foot in under 15
minutes. There is a bus and tram stop serving several lines down the street
from the hotel.
Rooms
Spacious, stylish rooms with luxurious bathrooms and an array of modern amenities
Historic architectural touches mix with contemporary decor in these elegant rooms, all of which are individually decorated and inspired by early 20th-century Czech cubism. Color
schemes generally follow a pleasing combination of neutral hues complemented by
bolder accents like greens and reds, with modern art paintings and posters
adorning the walls. There are also four Signature Suites, which include the
Fresco Suite featuring lovely trompe-l’oeil walls, and the Tower
Suite, which offers panoramic views over the city and Prague Castle. All
rooms have flat-screen TVs, well-stocked minibars, iPod docks, safes, and
free Wi-Fi, though no tea- and coffee-making facilities. Marble bathrooms
have heated floors and towel racks, fluffy bathrobes and slippers,
high-end organic bath products, and shower/tub combos with rainfall
showerheads. Suites have both walk-in rainfall showers and soaking tubs, and
some have recessed TVs. Travelers should note that some street-side rooms
might get noise from the passing tram.
Features
Renowned spa and restaurant, popular basement bar, fitness center, and free Wi-Fi
The elegant Augustine Restaurant serves fine food in a beautiful

St. Thomas Brewery Bar is a popular, atmospheric basement bar that serves
excellent cocktails as well as a dark lager brewed according to an ancient
recipe inherited by Augustinian monks since 1352. There's also a spa
with a dry sauna, steam room, and a full range of massage services, plus a fitness
center with modern machines and weights. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
