What should be Prague's grande dame hotel is actually only three years old, the Carlo IV is a wonderfully elegant converted bank right in the centre of town. Part of the up-market Italian Boscolo hotel chain, the elegant interior is complimented by a stylised bar and restaurant.

Set in a quiet part of the Old Town, not far from the beautiful Powder Tower and wonderfully Art Nouveau Municipal House, the Carlo IV is in a great location to explore Prague without dragging oneself along with the tourist throng. A few hundred yards away is the Slovansky Dum shopping centre and the busy shopping street of Na Prikope, while the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square are a little beyond. If one ventures past the hotel's very own excellent restaurant, some of Prague's great bars and restaurants are within easy reach, including the perpetually busy Italian restaurant, Kogo.
