Le Palais Hotel, Prague

Prague is a European city that still possesses a strong link to its past. Many of its historic buildings have survived through wars and the passing of time. It is a rare experience to visit a place with this much history but to truly absorb the essence of the Prague, I chose to stay in the Le Palais Hotel. This building possesses so much personality that is in sync with the tone of the city and is therefore a great place to base your tour of Prague.

Le Palais was originally built as a private residence in 1841 in the lovely Vinohrady district. It was completely redesigned in the Belle Époque style between 1888 and 1897. The intention of this remodel was to create something “different and of greater beauty” and I think they accomplished it.

The public rooms at Le Palais are nothing but opulent. Touches like original frescos by Czech painter Ludek Marold and antique furniture make you feel as if you are a guest in an aristocrat’s home. The 60 spacious rooms and 12 suites are furnished in luxurious fabrics and fine furniture. All of the bathrooms have marble baths and heated floors. My room’s amenities included: satellite TV, a DVD players, high speed internet, a trouser press, a coffee and tea station, complimentary shoe shine and a mini bar.

Located within the building is their five-star restaurant Le Papillion. The cuisine that Chef Radek Subrt makes is French with a modern twist. The restaurant offers a panoramic view that is not only breathtaking but romantic.

The Relax and WellnessCenter at Le Palais is one of the best equipped spas in Prague. They have a sauna, a whirlpool, a state of the art fitness center, steam baths, a solarium, hydro-jet therapy and aroma showers featuring lemon and eucalyptus scents. Of course they also offer traditional massages and body treatments.

A hotel is not made of amenities alone, and the Le Palais has an award-winning staff. In fact they were the winners of the 2004 Connoisseurs Choice Award and are a member of the Leading Small Hotels of the world.

For a truly unique experience that borders on historical opulence stay at the Le Palais Hotel.
