Historic elegance
Well-located in the sought-after Malá Strana area, the Residence Nosticova is just two minutes walk from the famous Charles Bridge. This charming boutique hotel is close to a number of galleries and restaurants as well as the 9th century Prague Castle. Just across the Vltava River is the Old Town Square containing the Týn Cathedral, Astronomical Clock and St Nicholas Church. The narrow streets nearby have excellent restaurants and shops, all housed in restored historic buildings.
This delightful boutique hotel is a favourite haunt of celebrities looking for a discreet luxury hotel in Prague from which to explore this historic city. With just 16 individually appointed rooms and suites, the Residence Nosticova perfectly captures the historic atmosphere of this classic city. Although the building dates back to the 17th century, it has been completely renovated by skilled carpenters, masons and fresco artists to create the bijou residence it is today. Features such as the circular stone staircase have been retained, but there are now many modern conveniences such as a lift to all floors, excluding the penthouse.
Visitors’ attention is drawn this way and that by a suit of armour, a delicate mural on the old walls, or an appropriately placed antique. Each room has its own individuality and style, from the standard suites right up to the luxurious penthouse with its parquet floors and skylight windows. The linen is beautifully embroidered and the shell-shaped bath is the perfect finishing touch to the spacious bathroom.
Although the hotel is small and intimate, it manages to offer five-star service to each of its valued guests. For a romantic getaway the Residence Nosticova is hard to beat as it is one of the most charming and individual boutique hotels in Prague. With canopied beds, vaulted ceilings, fresh flowers and the latest high-tech entertainment systems, each room is both comfortable and charming.
The fabulous adjoining Alchymist Restaurant completes the excellent facilities of this luxury hotel, serving Czech and international cuisine in a fabulously OTT baroque dining room. Every square inch of the vaulted ceilings are ornately painted, while magnificent chandeliers are suspended over gilt-edged marble-topped tables. Dining here will certainly leave a lasting memory. The Alchymist Spa is equally lavish in its décor, with frescoed ceilings and window dressings which would grace any royal palace.
For exceptional boutique hotel accommodation in an excellent location, the Residence Nosticova is one of the most unique boutique hotels in Prague.
