There are many excellent boutique hotels in the Czech capital Prague, ranging from the site of a former nuclear bunker with views over Wenceslas Square in Old Town, to a converted Augustinian 14th-century brewery right by Prague Castle, via a retro-furnished design hotel in Malá Strana.

This peaceful family hotel with 36 rooms occupies a converted convent in Old Town. The interior has been modernised and the most spacious suites can fit up to five people.

Sleek modern design runs all the way through this minimalist hotel near Old Town Square and distinguishes it from many of the other choices in the neighbourhood.

It is always nice to stay in a hotel with a story and the Jalta Boutique Hotel certainly has one. The site once hosted a secret nuclear bunker which doubled as a covert listening post allowing the secret police to spy on guests in the 1950s. It’s now a fascinating museum beneath the hotel. Fans of Soviet architecture will find themselves in a reverie at the Jalta, especially those with views over Wenceslas Square from their room.
Hotel Pod Vezi

Hotel Pod Vezi is in the Mala Straná district, a hillside area also known as Lesser Town with views across the Vltava Vltava to Old Town. The hotel is surrounded by incredible architecture such as the Charles Bridge but the pink 18th-century building still manages to stand out. The roof terrace has great views of Prague Castle, while many of the 16 rooms have great vistas too.

This converted Augustinian 14th-century brewery sits under Prague Castle and goes a bit under the radar surrounded by a number of more grand hotels on the tranquil side of the river. What makes Three Storks stand out is the helpful and friendly staff, the spaciousness of the rooms and elegant design that does not betray its history. You must be sure not to miss the complimentary breakfast in the restaurant each day.

Offering services that are above and beyond what most comparably sized hotels in Prague’s Old Town do, the Emblem also ranks among the most aesthetically pleasing spots in the city centre, thanks to its keen eye for art and design. Though the hotel’s rooms aren’t huge, they are meticulously put together and often feature a one-of-a-kind design or an original artwork. Luxurious but down to earth, the hotel has many additional facilities including a private smoking lounge and rooftop whirlpool tub.

Housed inside Žižkov Television Tower, One Room Hotel offers unrivalled views across Prague and its surroundings. Though you’d be forgiven for booking a room here just for the view, the hotel looks amazing inside too, with rooms featuring an open-plan layout and furnished with king-size beds and two-person-sized bathtubs. A great choice for a romantic getaway, rates are not cheap but are well worth the extra cash if you’re planning something special.
