5 star hotel break

I%26#39;ve been brousing on and off for the last 2 weeks looking for a 5 star hotel in Prague for a romantic 4 day break towards the end of November... lots of choice but I can%26#39;t make the call on which one to choose! Want a suite / deluxe room (need very good accomodation and service) and probably want some leisure centre / spa... and obviously want good value - Le Palais, Pachtuv, Hoffmeister... any suggestions? Will places like Le Palais offer upgrades if I leave it late enough to book???

Mandarin Oriental have just opened a new hotel in Prague with a good opening offer of three nights for the price of two - see www.mandarinoriental.com




|||



And what about Four season? I am from Prague and I if you want the perfect service go to some 5* hotel. If you will need some other help, write me on n.b.a@centrum.cz.



Have a nice trip.

To me the Four Seasons is a disappointment, rather boring and unexceptional.Yes, the service is fab, but that is expected at their rates.





Le Palais goes out of the way with a genuine personal service. The location is a bit out of the center, but easy at reach. I would not mind the location.





In Mala Strana are two fantastic places, Alchymist, a kitschy, but romatic place with a super spa and Aria, a theme hotel with a little cinema, music theme, 3000 CD and DVDs to rent for fre etc. Very special. I am talking small hotels, not to compare with a George 5, ok.





Pachtuv is a fantastic city palais in great location (same as Four Season), but more a residence and you may miss some of the services a real 5 star offers.

Hotel Josef

Hotel Josef is very good, but just a 4star hotel.




|||



I would try the Four Seasons, but then if this is too expensive, go for the Mandarin.





Aria and Alchymist mentioned by Martina are also very good (Alchymist has an amazing underground wellness centre, but the decoration is a bit over the top)




|||



Thanks for all the Advice, The Alchymist is looking like my favourite currently! Communicating with them to get a deal for 4 nights!





Next job will be to plan some daytrips!

Four Seasons. Great location on the river almost at the end of the Charles Bridge and with an outside terrace just above the water (though probably unusable late Nov), walkable to everywhere, and you know what you%26#39;re getting with this brand. Josef is for the self-satisfied.

The Mandarin has a great location right off Charles Bridge and yet so quiet! It is an oasis. They are offering three nights for the price of two for the first half year. Much more elegant and distinguished than the Four Seasons. The only advantage of the FS are the rooms with a view over the Castle, but you pay extra for that. At some tables at the restaurant you have that view too, but just a few. The food at the Madarin is way better than here.

Hi - my parents stayed at the Le Palais. Although they couldn%26#39;t fault the hotel but location-wise it was too far out. It%26#39;s a good 40 mins walk to the hub of Prague. Nevertheless, they enjoyed Prague and certainly be going back but to another 5-star hotel called the Radisson which is much closer to the centre. They had a look inside and thought it was lovely.
