Discover different ways to enjoy the festive season this year at the Augustine Hotel Prague.
As the year-end festive season brings a demanding rush of professional and social obligations, the Augustine Hotel Prague offers a tranquil sanctuary. The Augustine Hotel Prague invites you to slow down, savor the present moment, and embrace the joyful anticipation of Christmas. Located in historic Malá Strana (Lesser Town) beneath Prague Castle, Augustine Hotel, Prague stands within the walls of the Augustinian Monastery of St. Thomas, a historical site dating back more than 800 years and remains a living, working community of Augustinian monks that preserve a daily routine of worship, work, and study.
The property occupies a carefully delineated portion of the historic site, creating an extraordinary dialogue between past and present, contemplative moments and joyous celebrations. The hotel’s festive program features special events in its stunning arcaded garden, Nutcracker-themed afternoon teas, and Sunday jazz brunches. The holiday celebrations continue with a Christmas Eve dinner, a Christmas Day brunch on December 25, a New Year’s Eve dinner, and a New Year’s Day brunch.
