Location

The King Charles is in Prague 1, in the medieval heart of the city. It is a 15-minute walk to Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. The hotel is part of the former coronation route. The surrounding area has renovated historical buildings, restaurants, cafés, and pubs. The colourful Mala Strana is a starting point for exploring Prague.

Building's History

The King Charles is in a baroque building dating back to 1639, once owned by Benedictine monks. Gothic and baroque elements remain, including stained glass windows and painted ceilings, alongside 19th-century frescoes and restored stucco. The hotel is composed of 2 ancient city houses, separated by a staircase. The interiors reflect the hotel's history, with ornate wooden beds, exposed wooden ceiling beams, antique furniture, candelabras, and gilt-framed paintings.

“The King Charles struck me as a place where history whispers from every corner, starting with its 17th-century baroque bones and the staircase that cleverly joins two old city houses. I appreciate that it sits near Prague Castle, yet manages to offer a quiet retreat, a balance that makes exploring feel both exciting and restful. For those drawn to Prague's past, this hotel seems to offer a particularly grounded experience.”
