Restaurant
Monastiq Terrace
Monastery garden walls shelter the cobblestone courtyard terrace, where tables sit beneath canvas awnings for summer dining.
Housed within a former Dominican monastery with roots in the 14th century, this elegant hotel is an architectural delight.
Monastiq Restaurant
Groin-vaulted stone ceilings arch over parquet floors, where the kitchen serves modern takes on Bohemian heritage recipes.
At the table
Teal stools line the brass cocktail bar, where bartenders mix Bohemia-inspired spirits beneath illuminated shelving.
How it began
The interconnected buildings date to the fourteenth century, incorporating outer stone walls from the 1330 Church of St. Mary Magdalene.
“Vaulted ceilings and arched hallways retain the medieval character of the 14th-century monastery that originally stood here in the Malá Strana district.”
