Prague is a beautiful city that westerners have wasted no time in discovering in the years following the end of the Cold War, and it now has some truly wonderful hotels. With plenty of fine buildings, lots of modern and medieval history and of course the famous Danube running through the middle, the city is a great place for a bit of romance and the Grand Hotel Bohemia is the perfect place to spend such a trip.
It may be the hotel of choice for a honeymoon, but the hotel has a team on hand that can help you plan something even better, with the opportunity to hold the wedding and the reception in the gorgeous neo-Baroque Boccaccio ballroom, with room for 120 guests. There are few settings to compare with it, and it means your guests can share in the opulence, history and grandeur of the city. That, of course, is just the start for every married couple.
The hotel has 79 state-of-the-art guest rooms, so where better to be for a honeymoon? Each of them has elegant dark wood furnishings and cream upholstery, spacious bathrooms and even a massage-shower. If the rooms and the weddings are great, the location tops it all off as the ideal place for a romantic trip, whether for your nuptials or a special weekend away. The hotel is set in the heart of the Old Town of Prague. The first historical record of it dates back to 1091 and the term Old Town dates back to the 14th century, when the New Town emerged. As it happens, most of the notable buildings you can see date from the 14th century or more recently. But they are outstanding nonetheless and well worth seeing.
Examples of this include the 65 metre-tall Powder Gate, which dates from the 15th century, the 18th century Estates Theatre and the early 20th century Municipal House. For a truly tenth century relic, visit the Old Town Square with its Romanesque and Gothic buildings, galleries and cafes. Prague’s Old Town certainly has lots of history – so where better to undergo one of the landmark events in your life?
