Mandarin Oriental, Prague

In Mala Strana beneath Prague Castle, a 14th-century monastery has become the poetic Mandarin Oriental Prague. Vaulted ceilings, heated floors, and bespoke linens whisper of devotion. The Spa in a Renaissance Chapel glows with candles and quiet chants as therapists work miracles of scent and touch. Dine at Monastiq, where contemporary Czech flavors meet monastic grace, then stroll cobbled lanes as lanterns flicker against ancient walls.
