Mandarin Oriental, Prague

Mandarin Oriental, Prague is on Nebovidská, tucked away on the quiet side of the Vltava. It sits a five-minute walk from Lesser Town Square and a fifteen-minute walk from Charles Bridge.

The property sits inside a renovated former monastery, which separates it from the grander, more exposed hotels flanking the bridge. While those neighbors rely on proximity to the main tourist thoroughfares, the seclusion here feels deliberate. It is better suited for those who prefer the history of the building’s vaulted stone architecture over the immediate accessibility of the central city noise. With both a dedicated spa and its own restaurants on-site, there is little reason to leave the immediate block unless you are crossing the river.
