Experience the world-renowned Buddha-Bar brand in an exciting new way when the first Buddha-Bar Hotel opens in Prague in the second half of 2008. This opulent boutique hotel, nestled in the heart of picturesque Prague near the Old Town Square, will feature 36 luxury rooms and three plush suites. Dressed in a blend of Oriental-French colonial interiors, the rooms reflect the exotic ambience of Buddha-Bars all over the world – from New York and Paris to Beirut, Cairo and Dubai.

Since the first Buddha-Bar opened in Paris in 1996, it has captivated the imagination of patrons with its fusion of Western and Asian cuisine in Pacific Rim style, and a distinctive blend of eclectic lounge music. The same Buddha-Bar experience will now be replicated in founder Raymond Visan’s new venture in Prague, along with the finest room accoutrements and "buddhattitude" spa treatments that promises a rejuvenating stay. Look out for five other Buddha-Bar hotels slated for opening in Paris, Panama, Dominican Republic, Egypt and "The World", Dubai´s island project shaped like the continents.
