Palatial accomodation marks your stay at the Kempinski Hybernská, in downtown central Prague.

The grounds of this new extension of Kempinski Hotels are a massive, restored 17th century listed building, and it houses 75 rooms and suites with an average size of 51 square metres – no mean feat considering Kempinski Hybernská is but a few moments from the city’s historic and bustling Old Square.

Grandeur permeates much of Prague, and this same sense of old European charm extends also to Kempinski Hybernská. The Opera House is located near the hotel, as are other of Prague’s charms such as the Vlatava River, and a multitude of shopping and eating locations.

The hotel itself though, boasts of its own fine dining establishments such as Le Grill and Two Steps, a chic ultra-modern bar. The hotel also has a private landscaped garden, suitably named The Garden, for private receptions and events. 7-metre tall trees, specially airlifted into The Garden, only hint at the excesses of the hospitality that Kempinski Hybernská has to offer.
