Design Hotel Jewel

Staré Město


Housed in a medieval building that was once home to a royal jeweller (check out the early 20th-century painted ceiling with gemstone motifs in the cafe-bar), this gem of a hotel is themed around jewels. Comfort and service are as dazzling as the decor, with rooms named after precious stones, gold and silver detailing, glittering crystals and mirror mosaic tiles. There's no lift.

Offers nice old-fashioned touches such as evening turndown and free newspapers.
