The Augustine Hotel Prague

View at dawn from an upper floor room at The Augustine

The professional Mr. Lubos, our maitre'd.

The very elegant and cozy bar.

Returned to Prague and Budapest recently and chose one of our preferred properties for the corporate incentive group we escorted. The Augustine is a former monastery comprising of 7 buildings dating from the 13th century, and now offering 101 luxury rooms. It is a beautiful example of retaining historical ambiance and architectural detail, while adding modern day luxuries like heated floors and linen sheets. The location is delightful, just  5-10 mins walk to the Charles Bridge and just below Prague castle.

Lobby and public spaces have a contemporary vibe and the courtyard that sheltered monks in past centuries, now is dotted with lovely sofas, greenery and an outdoor dining venue. But on cold afternoons, nothing beats the cozy and luxurious bar with it's high windows and ceilings and delicious light bar menu.

The lower level houses a small but lovely spa and the original brewery, (the monks still produce a scrumptious beer), which now is a fun and atmospheric pub in the evenings.

And one more comment. Mr. Lubos the low key and completely competent maitre'd , is not only great to work with, but the first  in my experience, to absolutely refuse a well deserved gratuity. How impressive. The staff over all was anxious to please. Enjoy some lovely extras here when you book through me.
