Restored monastic citadel
Stone cloisters, sundial courtyards, and vaulted corridors connect seven historic structures, sharing quiet grounds with an active Augustinian community.
“The 101 rooms are a chic combination of old world charm and modern luxury, with generously sized marble bathrooms…”
Where it shines
Remarkable
Seven 13th-century structures encompass a living Augustinian friary and private theological library.
Notable
Vaulted monastic ceilings and Baroque frescoes contrast with angular Czech Cubist furnishings.
Notable
Suites carved from monastic cells pair heated marble bathrooms with Prague Castle views.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Built into the remains of a 13th-century monastery, Augustine sits just beneath Prague Castle in the Malá Strana quarter.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked along the cobblestones of Malá Strana, the grounds sit between the Wallenstein Garden, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle above.
The rooms
Formed from adjoining monks' cells, rooms balance vaulted ceilings and exposed beams with heated marble floors and castle views.
The spa
Subterranean treatment rooms host beer-inspired massages and body rituals, set beside a private hammam and Finnish sauna.
The gym
Mirrored walls and cardio machines equip the 80-square-meter fitness room, illuminated in the evening by candle lanterns.
Dogs stay too.
Augustine Restaurant
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the dining room to the Sundial Garden courtyard for seasonal Czech cooking.
Instead of monastic austerity there’s a tasteful sense of modern luxe. Rooms are done in rich fabrics in warm earth tones and dressed up with elements of local design.
St. Thomas Brewery Bar
Set inside the original monastery brewery, this vaulted stone cellar retains whitewashed arches and terracotta tile floors.
At the table
Beneath Baroque vaulted ceiling frescoes, the Refectory Bar pours dark St. Thomas lager brewed from a 1352 recipe.
How it began
Founded in 1284, the complex preserves an operating friary where resident monks still lead private tours of the theological library.
