In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Platnerska street, the hotel is steps from the astronomical clock in Old Town Square and the historic Jewish Quarter.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature Italian blue Carrara marble baths, while the attic Suite Library conceals a standalone copper tub behind a secret bookcase.
The sauna and hot tub
A light-wood sauna opens off white marble floors, and an open-air hot tub rests on the rooftop deck.
The spa
Treatment rooms use Codage Paris therapies, and a skylit relaxation lounge opens onto wooden rocking chairs on the terrace.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
George Prime Steak & Bar
This American steakhouse serves 30-day wet-aged prime beef and Californian wines beneath an expansive glass bubble chandelier.
Public spaces comprise an upper level spa in calming sea greens, and an adjacent rooftop bar offering sprawling views of the city.
How it began
Housed in a 1908 Neo-Baroque building, the property was revived by a local mother and son as a community home for travelers.
“The wellness area, including sauna and steam room, a Kneipp path and a Finland-inspired ice shower, is covered in white Carrara marble and warm wood.”
