Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Prague

Opened in 2009, the Augustine is one of Europe's truly remarkable hotels. Centrally located in the heart of Prague between the Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge, in the picturesque Lesser Town district. Its five buildings date from the 13th and 15th centuries, with the cloistered terraces and vaults of St Thomas's Monastery carefully incorporated to reflect the hotel's special location.

The glass-covered courtyard restaurant is a culinary and sensory delight, whilst the atmospheric Brewery Bar is perfect for a romantic evening in unforgettable surroundings. The bustling old town is a short walk across the famous Charles Bridge, whilst the Wallenstein Gardens host classical open-air concerts between April and October.'
