If you’re male and heterosexual, the ladies in Prague will knock you for six. Apparently, the city is famed for beautiful women. We have no idea what the men look like. Nobody mentions them so we imagine they’re all either utterly terrifying or Johnny Depp look-alikes. Your guess is as good as ours. Prague is also famous for beer, one of the UK’s favourite pastimes. Pick hotels in Prague centre for lively nightlife and bucket loads of friendly drinking places. The Hotel Musketýr is in the middle of the city a few steps from Wenceslas Square and everything else.

Hotels in Prague – A flavour of Eastern Europe

The Czech Republic is catching up, becoming less exotic and foreign-seeming as time passes. It is getting pretty westernised and hotels in Prague reflect the changes, but you still get a keen hint of original Eastern European culture. The good thing is that loads of the locals speak immaculate English. Helpful but a bit embarrassing for language-challenged people who studied French for ten years but can only remember the French for ‘The hedgehog is fast. Lamentable, really. As far as hotels in Prague go, this is a goodie. The Hotel Ambassador Zlata Husa is in Wenceslas Square, within walking distance of shopping and offering an astonishing four in-hotel restaurants, a casino, night club and Thai Wellness Club. Oh yes, and a limo service in case you suffer an unexpected celebrity moments and can’t resist.
