Character and identity
Set inside a 13th-century Augustinian monastery in Malá Strana, between Prague Castle and the Vltava, the Augustine spreads 101 rooms across a complex of historic buildings where a small order of monks still lives in a separate wing. Olga Polizzi's interiors mix gray marble, papal purples and reds, original frescoes and stone carvings with Cubist and modernist touches, including reproductions of Pavel Janak chairs and Adolf Loos chaises. The Refectory Bar pours herb-infused monastic cocktails and a St. Thomas beer brewed to the monks' recipe; Augustine Restaurant works in lighter, nouveau Czech cuisine. The hidden interior garden is the property's quiet anchor.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and culturally curious travellers who want atmospheric old-Prague lodging without the tour-bus crush. The monastery tour, the garden, the Cubist design references and the Tower Suite's 360-degree views over Malá Strana reward guests who care about provenance, architecture and a strong cocktail and dining programme.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting straightforward layouts, mobility-limited guests, and anyone after sleek modern uniformity. The labyrinthine plan and patchy elevator coverage make navigation a project, and the tram line at the gate leaves almost no sidewalk, meaning an awkward dodge into traffic every time you leave on foot.
Bottom line
What sets this hotel apart is the genuine monastic setting: a working Augustinian complex with frescoes, a chapel, a Harry Potter-ish library and a private garden you can actually use. Book it for the atmosphere, not for slick service infrastructure. Splurge on the Tower Suite for the view or the Fresco Suite for the original detailing; shoulder seasons keep Malá Strana navigable.
