Andaz Prague

Prague, Czech Republic
$300-475/ night

Book this if You want the coolest address in Prague—a historic 'Sugar Palace' turned art-deco fantasy that feels more like a modern gallery than a chain hotel.

Why People Love It

  • The 'Sugar Palace' architecture—high ceilings and myth-inspired decor
  • ZEM restaurant's avant-garde Czech-Japanese fusion (better than it sounds)
  • The complimentary 'Andaz Hour' with wine and beer in the lobby

Quick Take: A stunning design triumph that occasionally forgets it's a hotel—watch out for tram noise and style-over-substance service hiccups.

Reviewed by @life.of.felina: I stayed in the historic Sugar Palace and it was unforgettable. The art in the room, especially that lion headboard, is stunning. Waking up to church tower views and having the most beautiful avocado toast for breakfast made this my favorite spot in Prague.
