Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel

The Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel fits right into Prague’s picturesque Malá Strana district. Set across a maze-like collection of seven buildings which formed part of the St Thomas Church and Monastery, few hotels capture the essence of Europe’s cultural capital quite like this hotel. At the Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Prague, there is a delicate magic to how the hotel blends monastic austerity with modern luxury. It’s in the religious statues, ceiling frescoes and ornamental iron fixtures of the buildings, which interior designer Olga Polizzi perfectly blended with modernist furnishings and artworks. But where the rich history of the hotel really shines through, is the stone-floored and brick-walled Brewery Bar where monks first concocted the particularly fine-tasting St Thomas’s beer in 1352, or in the monastery’s secret library , stacked with centuries-old books. A stay at the Augustine is a true taste of Prague’s history and beauty, and the location of the hotel, sitting right below the Prague Castle, doesn’t hurt either.
