Mandarin Oriental Prague

The monks who lived here once upon a time would be truly floored by what their former address has become: a showstopping ode to luxury, in every inch. Many rooms have the charmingly asymmetrical sloped ceilings and handsome parquet floors of their medieval years, but plenty of modern day perks: like underfloor heating in the bathroom and a calming color palette of blues and neutrals. Instagram influencers and people that want to be will love the Premier Castle View Room, where baroque-inspired soaring vaulted ceilings and rounded windows peep out on 9th century Prague Castle.

Tucked in a 14th century monastery, with 99 cozy rooms and a spa and pool within a Renaissance-era chapel.

Pious. There’s a buzzing cocktail bar here, plus a covered terrace and topnotch Asian fusion restaurant.

You like to experience local flavors as much as you can when you travel, and spa treatments in the former chapel include a scrub down with linden poultices (made with the national tree of the Czech Republic and scented with chamomile oil).

The concept of private dining is taken up a notch here, thanks to the setting—a subterranean wine cellar with walls that date to the middle ages, and even an actual well, set safely beneath a glass floor. With each sip, you feel a little more like you’ve reached nirvana. Who can go back to real life after this?
