As a travel enthusiast who has clicked on this article, I am sure that you’re familiar with Wenceslas Square and the famous statue of King Wenceslas that sits at the top of the square, in front of the National Museum in Prague, Czech Republic. I am also confident that you have heard about the Lucerna Arcade that houses the equally fascinating statue designed by David Cerny of an upside down King Wenceslas. However, did you know that you could stay in a five-star hotel that is perfectly located between these sites and is so incredible that you actually won’t want to sightsee?

Get ready to be surprised as I share with you my experience at the five-star Radisson Blu Alcron located on Stepanska, Prague, Czech Republic. Trust me when I tell you that this hotel is truly one of a kind.

Begin your journey in five-star style

Prior to even arriving at this beautiful hotel, the hospitable and ultra-helpful staff will be more than happy to arrange for one of the hotel cars to pick you up from the airport and bring you to your new and glamorous home in Prague. The hotel cars are extremely clean, modern and equipped with the latest technology. Each seat has an iPad attached to it so that you can peruse the news, see the route on which your car is traveling, and learn about the exceptional sites that are being passed.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by the doorman and enter the haven that is the Radisson Blu Alcron. You will immediately notice the dazzling and majestic feel that the foyer has to it. The beautiful green and white marble floors, the stone and dark wooden columns with the bespoke lighting adds a real sparkling feel to the place. The hotel has a 1932 art deco style to it with a modern flair, and was restored by the famous designer Maria Vafiadis. If you arrive early to the hotel, fear-not as the staff will try and provide you with your room so that you can start relaxing at the get-go.

Glamour and luxury is everywhere from the bars, restaurants, fitness center and sauna to the 204 stylish, charming and perfectly sized rooms. It is hard to know where to start in telling you about the incredible facilities and offerings that this hotel has available for you as there is simply so much.

There is the gorgeous Be Bop Bar that serves the most unusual and unique cocktails. There are two exceptional restaurants, which are the Michelin-Star awarded Alcron Restaurant and the La Rotonde. This hotel takes satisfying your taste buds seriously, so all you foodies take note. However, if you want a chance to dine in the Alcron Restaurant, make sure you make a reservation in advance as this popular place can be filled up quite quickly. Although, if you’re unable to make such a reservation, don’t worry as you will still have a tantalizing experience at the La Rotonde, which offers delicious food. Surprisingly, the hotel also gives you the opportunity to take cooking classes with Chef Paulus, so if you’re interested in developing your culinary skills, look no further.

Out of the 204 stylish rooms, there are standard rooms, royal club rooms and also multiple types of suites from which you can choose. The cost of a standard room per night is approximately 147 EUR (165 USD) whereas the cost of a suite with a castle view is approximately 415 EUR (466 USD). The rooms are beautifully decorated in the art deco style yet are fitted with modern and comfortable furnishings that make your relaxation experience memorable. The windows are heavily draped with large golden curtains, which enhance the luxury and are complemented by the chandelier light that beams across the room. Importantly, the bathrooms are especially lush and are decked-out with cream marble and stocked with only the best body gel, shampoo and lotions for your gentle skin to indulge in.

Stay fit on your trip

There are many hotels that will put a few treadmills in a room and call it a fitness centre. However, the Radisson Blu Alcron is not one of those hotels as it truly does offer you a fitness centre with multiple types of equipment including resistance machinery. The equipment is modern and in good condition and makes your trip to the fitness centre worth-while. The fitness centre is immaculate and includes some wonderful little touches like the different types of water jugs with fresh fruit and mint inside so that you can feel refreshed and rehydrated at all times. Get ready to experience different flavors to tantalize your taste buds and make you feel special whilst exercising.

Undeniably the best service ever

Faultless service that goes far beyond being polite and hits the realms of genuine care and kindness is what is on offer at the Radisson Blu Alcron. I stated at the beginning of this article that I could envisage that it would be difficult for one to imagine wanting to cut their sightseeing time and stay in a hotel; however, this hotel is one where you would want to do exactly that. Whilst the glitz and glamour of the interior of this hotel make it feel like you’re in a Czech palace, the reason that it is truly special is because of the staff.

I am a firm believer that people are what make a place sparkle and the staff at this hotel make Prague a special place to visit. They are so kind, caring and want to make you feel welcomed and special at all times. There will be no moment in which you will feel that your questions or queries are not important and you will most certainly never feel rushed. The staff at this fantastic establishment deliver perfect service and will ultimately make you feel more pampered than any other place. This is even so when you have checked-out of your hotel room and are simply lounging around the hotel before your train or flight to another destination. And don’t be surprised when you find so many guests relaxing in the hotel lounge post check-out; it’s because they love the feel of the hotel and importantly, the wonderful staff who go above and beyond to share knowledge about their beautiful home, Prague.

Celebrating in style

It is time that you give yourself the opportunity to enjoy lush surroundings in a creative and artistic environment, where the staff make you feel like you’re in your own home and deserve nothing but the best. If you’re celebrating a special occasion then make sure you let the staff know as they will certainly want to celebrate with you by offering you some complimentary cake and drinks to make your experience that extra bit amazing! Get ready to book your stay at this gorgeous hotel; I am already planning my next visit!
