The Mala Strana, or Little Quarter, is home to the new Hotel Aria, one of the first boutique hotels in the world. Not only is the property beautiful and well-appointed, the boutique theme adds an interesting twist to your stay. There are four floors of guestrooms, each dedicated to a different musical genre. Accordingly, the floors are called Jazz, Opera, Classical and Contemporary Music, and each of the guestrooms on the floor feature a different musical artist or composer in the genre. This unique concept makes each stay enjoyable and inspirational. You may want to choose one of the deluxe suites: the Crooner Suite (honouring Frank Sinatra), the Elvis Presley Suite, called the Rock ‘n Roll Suite, or the Bach Suite. The remaining 48 suites honour other artists and types of music. The Hotel Aria is a truly musical experience.

The Hotel Pariz has been a fixture in the old centre of Prague for over 100 years. This hotel has been owned by generations of the family, and the love that they have poured into the property is reflected in the fine amenities, outstanding service and five star rating. There are 86 fully appointed suites and several world class restaurants on a site. Conveniently located near shopping areas, the Municipal House and historical sites, the Hotel Pariz is a gem in the heart of Prague.

Hilton (Pobrezni) - The choice of the past two U.S. presidents to visit (or at least, their officially announced choice), the Hilton is an annual favorite in our survey. It offers all the amenities one might expect of a hotel of its size and stature: restaurants, health clubs and conference facilities. It's slightly away from the city center on the riverbank but close to the Florenc metro stop.

Marriot (V Celnici 8) - here are plenty of beautiful smaller hotels in the Golden City, but this larger hotel is often overlooked. It offers a restaurant, bar, café, health center, spa and conference facilities. Its location close to náměstí Republiky metro station and the Palladium shopping center make it a convenient jumping-off point to get anywhere in the city. There is also an onsite casino if you're feeling lucky.
