In Mala Strana, Mandarin Oriental, Prague occupies a former monastery close to the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, giving the hotel a rare sense of quiet within the historic city. Vaulted ceilings, old stonework and contemporary interiors shape accommodation across the layered building, with each space reflecting the irregularity of the site. Monastiq restaurant, the bar and garden spaces keep the atmosphere intimate. The spa uses the former chapel foundations as part of its setting, with cobblestone lanes, embassies and Baroque facades surrounding the hotel.
