Alchymist Prague Castle Suites

I have been in 12 countries in less than 2 years. This is the most unique and impressive stay to date, and I will tell you why. Firstly, ***last time I stayed in Prague*** I had to be in a different hotel, a sterile corporate chain. It was fine but the corporate hotel chain added nothing to the Prague experience: it was crowded, and small bathroom, and pillows that gave me the ick -- again, a corporate hotel -- last time. Everything changed when I stayed at the Alchymist. My observations: 1. Martina, the manager sets a professional but warm and authentic tone. Any staff you meet follows her example. From the prosecco at check in, to allowing a bit later checkout (if they can, they will), I enjoyed her assistance. 2. The room exceeds expectations; it is expansive and luxurious. You can trust the online photos. 3. My friends tease me that I am a "pillow fiend." This bed was as nice as mine at home (my bed is my big splurge). Bed linens and bath linens, robes, slippers, are Ritz Carlton level quality (which is where I stayed before this, in Hungary). 4. There are complimentary treats in the room. Chocolates at night. If you need more snacks, use the honor bar. 5. Breakfast surprisingly has the possibility of just about anything you could want, for a place with few rooms. Everything is to the right standard. I love the coffee machine to get any type of coffee you want. The charming woman who cooked my eggs one morning was wanting to cook again, but there was so much on the buffet I needed to try. She wants you to be happy. 6. Location, location, location. There will be a QR code in your suite that gives you lots of tourist tips and suggestions. If you are new to Prague, use it. Also, ask Martina et.al. to arrange your transport. I learned the hard way about taxi drivers who are bullies and thieves in Prague.-- Google it. 7. There is no improvement needed here.

This hotel is a true gem. It’s a boutique property located just minutes from everything, offering an ideal location. The suites are exquisitely decorated, reminiscent of a room in Versailles, with beautiful classic furniture. Breakfast is elegantly served in your room by the friendly staff, who pay attention to every detail to ensure a luxurious, large and comfortable stay. Despite the building being around 500 years old, everything feels fresh and new. The sister property is equally stunning, though larger, with about 40 rooms compared to the castle’s 8. Both hotels, seemingly owned by an Italian proprietor, are masterpieces of design and hospitality.
