The trendy Icon Hotel & Lounge is an upper-middle-range property that attracts a young travel set with its hip interiors that feature mural wall-paintings, jewel-colored ottomans, and east-Asian-style motifs. Situated on a cobblestone street close to the popular shopping destination and tourist hub of Wenceslas Square, the boutique hotel offers 31 stylish, modern rooms with contemporary decor, high ceilings, handmade Hästens beds with luxurious linens, and a host of modern comforts. There's also a hip tapas bar and restaurant, as well as a small spa that offers massage treatments, plus a cool lounge bedecked in colorful contemporary art. Note, however, that noise might be an issue due to thin walls, traffic in street-side rooms, and the popular downstairs lounge. For something of a similar character, travelers might also want to consider the Design Hotel Jewel Prague, another hip, design-oriented property closer to the Old Town Square.

Scene
Hip, design-oriented boutique hotel with trendy, contemporary decor
A marble floor, stone buddha sculpture, and semicircular velour chairs are paired with a patterned yellow wall and chandeliers for an eclectic, trendy look in the small lobby of this renovated 19th-century building. The design-oriented boutique hotel features a smattering of hip elements throughout its hallways and common spaces, such as gold-painted doric columns in the stairways and an array of modern couches and armchairs in the popular lounge, where industrial pipes snake along the ceiling and colorful art, courtesy of young Czech artists, adorns the walls. As expected, the hotel attracts young, hip clientele, and the lounge can get boisterous and noisy.
