Why we love it
The setting
The Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa sits in Malá Strana, the Lesser Town quarter below Prague Castle. The building is a restored Baroque house on a quiet cobbled street, with a planted courtyard and a fountain at its centre. Prague Castle's entrance gate is under 300 metres away, so you can walk up to the castle grounds in a few minutes. The river, Charles Bridge and the Old Town are all within an easy stroll. It is a quiet pocket of the city, well away from the heavier foot traffic across the water.
What to expect
Rooms carry the hotel's period style, with painted ceilings, antique furniture and chandeliers. The Deluxe Double comes with a double bed and a private bathroom, and breakfast is included each morning. Downstairs there is a spa with an indoor pool set against an exposed stone wall, plus treatment rooms. Public spaces run to a vaulted salon and a small cafe. Just 46 rooms over three floors keep it quiet and personal rather than busy.
Things to do nearby
Vrtba Garden, a terraced Baroque garden, is about 140 metres from the door. Prague Castle's gate is roughly 290 metres away, with St Vitus Cathedral and the Golden Lane inside the complex. From there it is a short walk down to Charles Bridge and across to the Old Town Square and the astronomical clock. Petřín Hill, with its lookout tower and gardens, is also close by on foot. The Lesser Town's bars and restaurants are on the streets around the hotel.
Best for
Couples after a quiet, central base for a long weekend in Prague. The spa, pool and included breakfast suit a slower trip, and the castle is minutes away on foot.
