Aria Hotel
Prague, Czech Republic
High-class haven for the musically-minded, hidden in the heart of Prague
The original owner of Aria brought his stateside savvy and love for
his hometown to bear on this former theatre. His mission: to create
the most distinctive hotel in the city. The result is a treat for
all the senses. Feast your ears on archive performances,
state-of-the art technology and the show-stopping Petrof grand in
the roof-top garden. Rest your eyes on the elaborate entrance
mosaic, feel the warmth from the heated Chilean granite floors and
inhale the aroma of the fire in the intimate Music Salon. As for
your taste buds, Coda, the hotel’s restaurant, will keep them
royally entertained.
In keeping with its stunning Renaissance surroundings, Hotel Aria
is a sensual tour de force. Whether sipping cocktails by the
waterfall, wallowing in a massage and sauna, or simply revelling in
the unique design of your room, this is harmony so pure that you'll
want several encores.
