Property Description

Travel + Leisure’s 2013 World’s Best Awards

Occupying a complex of historic buildings in central Prague, including a former brewery and the 13th-century Augustinian St. Thomas’s Monastery, The Augustine made its triumphant debut as an independent hotel in 2009. Its 85 exquisite bedrooms and 16 suites evoke the hotel’s monastic history while introducing elements of Cubist and Modernist design, and all open to breathtaking views of city landmarks. Two in particular, the expansive Charles Presidential Suite and The Tower Suite, feature sweeping vistas across the rooftops of Prague. The Tower Suite, housed in the original observatory of the monastery, spans three floors connected by a stunning spiral staircase.

After world-class dining at Augustine Restaurant, one of the very finest venues in Prague, guests can enjoy fine cocktails under a spectacular double-height, barrel-vaulted ceiling at 1887, the hotel’s stylish bar, or relax with a local beer at the historic St. Thomas’s Brewery.

The monastic theme extends to The Augustine’s exclusive spa, where signature treatments such as the St. Thomas Beer Body Ritual draw inspiration from the ancient secrets of the friars who once resided here. Prague Castle, the Wallenstein Garden,and the Charles Bridge are all within a short stroll of The Augustine. The hotel is located in the quaint Mala Strana district, whose spacious squares and narrow streets, lined with baroque palaces and Renaissance burgher houses, are among the most historic in Prague.

Dining

Augustine Restaurant: Executive Chef Miroslav Grusz’s seasonal menus and special dining experiences, such as summer grilling on the terrace, keep Augustine Restaurant among the chart-toppers of Prague’s finest restaurants in prestigious guides such as EURO Magazine and Grand Restaurant Guide. Here, the finest European cuisine is served in a sophisticated setting that includes plush banquettes and expansive windows that maximize views. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

1887 Bar: “Archangel” cocktails are the signature of this popular gathering spot, whose 19th-century Baroque frescos hearken back to its former days as the monastery’s refectory. Ranked among the top three bars in Prague by Barlife Awards (2010), it was also honored with the Interior Design of the Year award (2009) by The Sleep Awards.

St. Thomas’s Brewery: Here, in the historic setting of the original cellar, guests can take a step back in time to sample the Augustine monks’ centuries-old recipe for lager.

Relaxing

Augustine Spa: Within this UNESCO-protected luxury day spa, guests are pampered with holistic therapies in the one-of-a-kind setting of a functioning Augustinian monastery. In addition to exclusive signature treatments such as the St. Thomas Body Beer Ritual, which nourishes the skin using the monastery’s own time-honored lager recipe, the spa employs the finest spa products on the market, including those by ILA, Kerstin Florian, and SpaRitual vegan nail products.
