The Augustine in Prague

Rocco Forte Collection has now opened a five-star hotel in the heart of the Czech Republic capital, in the immediate neighbourhood of Prague Castle. The 101-room property has been created from a complex of five buildings, most of which are historical monuments. The largest and most important structure is St Thomas's Monastery, which dates to the 1300s.

The Monastery provides the hotel with a picturesque setting of established courtyards and elegant garden squares, while retaining certain areas for the practising Augustinian monks who remain in situ. Key historic features such as cloistered terraces, wooden ceilings, wine vaults and stone arches are incorporated into the hotel design. New additions include a tranquil courtyard entrance, accessible by car from Letenska Street, and a glassed-in courtyard, which is the hotel's main restaurant complete with two protected trees.

The 101 rooms of the five-storey hotel consists of 83 double or twin rooms and 18 suites, all of which enjoy stunning views on to the courtyards, the monastery chapel and the city's main cathedral on the nearby hill. All of the rooms are generously proportioned (measuring in excess of 40 sq m), with the majority having 5-piece bathrooms that include a walk-in shower. The suites include an impressive 150 sq m Presidential Suite and two Tower Suites that consist of three floors, lobby and living space on the fourth floor, bathroom on the fifth floor and bedroom on the sixth floor, with panoramic views across the rooftops of Prague.

For the business traveller, each room has a separate work desk with high speed internet secure connection - the fastest available. Meeting space is available for board meetings, 121's and larger meetings up to 80 delegates. The hotel's location is central for bars, restaurants and cultural activity, yet is a mere 10 minutes to the business district on tram lines or via taxi. A Business Centre is also available at the hotel.

In addition to the guest rooms, the hotel offers the following facilities: a 90-seat restaurant; a bar (occupying the monastery's barrel-vaulted double-height hall with views on to one of the formal garden squares and outside seating on the cloister terrace in summer); a second bar-cum-restaurant with 130 covers; a 150 sq m function room (with own pre-function lobby) in a protected double height vaulted hall; a purpose-designed meeting facility with business centre, four meeting rooms and two boardrooms, with some having direct access to private garden areas; and a sizeable health and fitness centre with 80 sq m gym, four treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and relaxation area.
