Prague is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, a historic metropolis brimming with rich culture and sophistication, frequented by discerning travellers and admired around the world. As the capital of the Czech Republic, or Czechia, as it’s locally called, Prague has an opus of stories to tell, stories which tumble into its gleaming boulevards and vibrant cobbled streets, hiding cafes and coffee shops and the banks of the genteel Vltava river. In Prague’s enchanting sprawl, one hotel perfectly embodies the city’s bohemian spirit, sophistication, charm, and ability to infuse heritage with modernist design – Andaz Prague.
Poised to be the new springtime and summer escape from the GCC, at just a seven-hour direct flight, Andaz Prague captures all that’s wonderful about European capitals – their heritage, glamour and impeccable sense of style. Literally translating to ‘personal style’ in Hindi, design is the essence of this new hotel, paying homage to Czech folklore with its artful fusion of architectural splendour with a curated selection of modern art that echoes a commitment to intertwining Prague’s heritage with contemporary creativity, crafting an experience that transcends the ordinary.
Housed in the iconic Sugar Palace, an opulent and storied building on Senovážné Square in the heart of Prague’s historical centre, Andaz Prague delights guests with 152 luxurious rooms and 24 expansive suites flooded with natural light and decorated with splendid, custom-made furniture and accessories inspired by Czech legends. In fact, the smallest rooms are a generous 28 square metres, with touches like elegant chaise longues. Lauded international design house Brime Robbins was enlisted to complete the stunning interiors, which combine Bohemian characteristics like stucco-decorated high ceilings and stand-alone tubs with state-of-the-art facilities and luxurious amenities – some suites unfold over a palatial 115 square metres.
As a new lifestyle destination for the city, Andaz Prague has cemented itself as a modern grande dame, drawing both travellers and locals with its drinking and dining pointers. ZEM Restaurant is a destination in itself, an avant-garde Czech bistro combining the visual aesthetics of Prague’s traditional coffee houses with 1920s retro-futuristic Czech art, literature, and engineering. The cuisine is Czech with creative Japanese touches, including plentiful halal options. In MEZ Bar, a Bohemian lounge open until 1am, good-looking locals chatter over killer cocktails and local Czech hops.
What truly makes Andaz Prague the most immersive and wonderful of European hotel stays is its unmatched location in the heart of historic Prague, a district known for its spellbinding architecture and priceless sights.
Rooms look onto historic landmarks, including the Jindřišská Věž tower, Church of St Henry and St Kunhuta, Haymarket & Grainmarket, and the Dancing Musicians Fountain. It’s a short walk from the hotel to the iconic Charles Bridge – a stunning stone structure spanning the Vltava River and the Powder Gate, one of the walled city’s original gates. Shopping is also a splendid pastime, with nearby Parizska Street presenting itself as the perfect location for the beloved GCC pastime of European summertime shopping. The elegant boulevard is lined with high-end fashion and jewellery boutiques, including Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier, to name a few.
After a day of exploring the Czech capital’s magic, its café culture, sun-dappled squares and picturesque riverside, Andaz Prague offers a cocoon of luxury and relaxation. The property boasts a high-tech fitness centre and beautiful spa, equipped with a luxurious Finnish sauna, steam bath, and relaxing treatment rooms – making Andaz Prague not only Prague’s shiniest hospitality star but also a city escape for a summer to remember.
