Capital of Czech Republic, as well as of Central Bohemia, Prague boasts a particular charm.

The charm of a city which in its history has joined its own country’s culture to the Jewish and German one.
The charm of an old town with a magical atmosphere, with alleys and glimpses that have inspired artists and writers over the years.
And the charm of a precious architectural patrimony, ranging from the Gothic to Art Nouveau, to modern art.

Into this evocative city, we selected two special addresses, which combine history and luxury: a splendid 5 stars hotel that occupies an ancient monastery and a spa built in a former Renaissance chapel.
