Named after the street on which it resides, this enchanting boutique hotel is nestled within Prague’s picturesque cobbled passageways, just moments away from the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral. When I was researching accommodation options online, this particular hotel instantly jumped out at me due to its fantastic location and exquisite design, including wonderful frescos, wooden ceilings and authentic old-fashioned touches.

The historical townhouse developed its Baroque design between 1705 – 1723 when it was owned by the famous Czech architect, Santini Jan Blažej Santini Aichel who was the creator and champion of the Baroque Gothic style in Prague. Unfortunately, over the years the building fell into disrepair but thankfully in 2022 Jan and Sarah who are the current owners renovated the house reinstating its unique details, exceptional elegance which in turn animates its wonderful history. Some of my favourite details were the Medusa relief over the entrance door of the hotel, the beautiful fresco on the inner courtyard walls and the hand painted ceilings as you climb up the stairwell.

The entrepreneurial couple have now created a gorgeous family-run hotel which provides exceptional attention to detail making for a truly remarkable stay. The hotel offers a selection of beautifully decorated rooms which all provide a warm and cosy feel, but as soon as I saw the photos of the Attic room, I fell in love. Set over two floors the suite offers astonishing views of the city’s rooftops which look magnificent during sunrise and sunset. The room also includes a delightful writing desk and a golden globe stocked with different spirits, which made the room even more magical! (Although if you are on the tall side I maybe wouldn’t recommend it, due to the slanted ceilings and beams).

Downstairs you will find the Nerudova 211 Café which offers an à la carte breakfast that features their famous eggs benedict and French toast. I didn’t opt to have breakfast included but enjoyed popping into the café for a matcha to takeout on my morning walk. In the early evenings the café features craft wines and later in the hotel’s lobby they offer a complementary light supper with sandwiches and pastries from the café.

The hotel oozes character and charm, which when complimented by its exceptional customer service and welcoming atmosphere ensures that Nerudova 211 offers the perfect base to create unforgettable memories during your trip.
