EASTERN EUROPE – CZECHIA – PRAGUE

The NH Collection Prague hotel on Mrazovka Hill is just one scenic cable car ride away, with stunning views of the Czech Republic’s capital city.

This upscale hotel embodies a harmonious blend of contemporary style and classic charm, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking a high-end experience in a culturally rich setting. The hotel’s design is a seamless fusion of modern aesthetics and traditional Czech elements, with a focus on creating an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort.

Cozy Rooms with Views

The NH Collection Prague has 136 rooms to choose from, each with immaculate views of the distant city skyline or vivid florals of Mrazovka Park. With three different room options, you’ll surely find the best suited for you and your party.

But no matter which room you choose, you’ll enjoy a private patio and rain-effect showers – a little quiet luxury for every guest.

Guest Rooms

The Superior and Premium Rooms at the NH Collection Prague accommodate up to three people.

The Superior Room can be booked with one king or two twin beds, and you can request an extra bed or baby crib if necessary. Both rooms also come with an in-room selection of pillows, a minibar to keep you nice and … hydrated, a pristine porcelain bathtub, and satellite TV.

If you need more space, the Premium Room is the way to go. It offers a king-size bed and sofa bed. An extra bed or baby crib is also available upon request.

The added space comes with a quaint sitting area perfect for business calls, signing postcards to your family back home, or doing your hair for a night out on the town. And when nighttime comes, enjoy a complimentary Netflix movie while snuggled tightly into the silky white sheets on a plush, comfy mattress.

Junior Suites

The Junior Suite features a king-size bed, sofa, sitting room, and extra bed or baby crib upon request. Your secluded bedroom is hidden by elegant taupe curtains that’ll make you feel you’ve awakened still in a serene, hazy dream. If you leave the blinds to your private patio open at night, you can be gently awakened by the soft morning sun and chirping birds.

Take time in the morning to savor a steaming cup of coffee, enjoying the fresh Prague air and incredible view of the city from the comfort of your outdoor patio. The Junior Suite is perfect for a family, honeymoon, or even just a quick getaway.

Round the Clock Dining Options

Though I recommend exploring every restaurant possible in the city, The NH Collection Prague does have a prodigious and decadent spread available for breakfast every morning. But if you’re not a morning eater, the hotel is also home to the II Giardino Toscano Restaurant. It serves flavorful and traditional Italian meals, while The Sky Lounge is the spot for light snacks and cocktails.

The Best Meal of the Day

The hotel’s breakfast buffet has something for everyone. Close your eyes and take in the aroma of freshly baked pastries and maple syrup. It floods your senses as you walk into the breakfast area where a magnificent spread of fresh fruit, yogurt, cheeses, and bread awaits you.

NH Collection also offers a la carte options for breakfast and kid-friendly meals that’ll power them up for a day of sightseeing.

II Giardino Toscano Restaurant

When you enter Il Giardino Toscano, you can sit under the indoor vaulted ceilings or soak up the night sky outside on the terrace.

The in-house sommelier will guide you through the extensive wine list and help you pair your favorite dish with the perfect wine. And yes, they do have gluten-free and vegetarian options!

With floor-to-ceiling windows, deep redwood floors, and spacious seating arrangements, your time here will be decadent and delicious!

Late Night Bites (and drinks of course!)

The NH Collection Prague’s Sky Lounge is located on the fourth floor to give you incomparable views of Prague’s cityscape. Open from 5 pm to 11 pm. daily, the Sky Lounge offers refreshing cocktails, light snacks, an impressive wine list. Plus you’ve got access to NH”s sommelier to guide you to the perfect glass.

And if you’re craving Italian at 11 pm, no worries. The II Giardino Toscano Restaurant provides 24-hour room service.

Exploring Prague

Being so close to the heart of Prague, the NH Collection Prague is ideal for visiting the historical city. Aside from the relaxing offerings of the hotel, you can bar hop downtown or take a trip to the Novy Smichov shopping mall with over 100 stores.

You’ll immediately be enraptured by the scintillating buildings and tiger lily rooftops, even before stepping foot onto the stately cobblestone walkways.

If you’re like me and would rather adventure in a beautiful and historic city, here are some of Prague’s must-sees.

The Staromestske Namesti

Staromestske Namesti is also known as Old Town Square and is an architectural treasure and crowning jewel of the city.

The Square is home to the striking Baroque Church of St Nicholas, the Rococo Kinsky’s Palace (now an art museum), The Gothic House at the Stone Bell, and the monument to Jan Hus. If the historical value of The Town Square doesn’t interest you, let the exquisite architecture and painstakingly beautiful design work persuade you to take this worthwhile excursion.

Connecting Old Town with Less Town

The Charles Bridge can get a little crowded, but it also has one of the most picturesque views in the city. Filled with musicians, painters, and vendors, it feels like you’re walking through a scene in a Disney movie.

Prague Castle

Last, but certainly not least, is the Prague Castle. Soaring ceilings and stained-glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of vivid colors across the castle interior’s shining dark hardwood. It’s a beautiful piece of history and architecture.

Spa Serenity

After a day exploring Prague’s historical city, you can return to your hotel room and relax your tired muscles in the serenity of a sauna or the comfort of a jacuzzi. Or, if you and your family are – go, go, go, you’re good to go. Head to the sports facility behind the hotel for a quick pickup game. You can also let the kids play safely on the two playgrounds in Mrazovka Park.

Maybe you can even convince your partner to chaperone the little ones while you hit the spa ;).

The NH Collection Prague’s spa is a serene oasis. Guests can unwind with a range of wellness treatments. There are services from massages to facials, all provided in a soothing and sophisticated environment.
