The 1860 townhouse trades traditional Prague grandeur for a moody, botanical interior and an energetic cocktail crowd.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Falkensteiner feels more downtown Berlin than old-world Prague. Interiors mix moody lighting with sculptural furniture and elegant materials, giving the spaces an international feel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Wenceslas Square is a five-minute stroll away, and Prague Main Station sits just around the corner.
The rooms
Rooms focus on quiet comfort, keeping the central streets outside with heavy blackout curtains and thorough soundproofing.
The sauna and steam bath
A timber Finnish sauna and a glass-fronted steam bath sit framed by patterned green tiles.
Gym and relaxation lounge
TechnoGym machines line the vaulted fitness room, and the quiet relaxation lounge has plush daybeds under warm hanging lights.
The Monkey Bar
Crystal chandeliers hang over the curved marble counter, where bartenders mix signature cocktails and diners gather over sharing plates.
At the table
The morning buffet is set beneath crystal chandeliers, and made-to-order plates arrive at teal banquettes under vaulted ceilings.
How it began
Built in 1860, the building operated as Hotel Maria Prag for nearly two decades before its 2022 reinvention.
