Prague is one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Europe, but visit this time of the year and you’ll be even more enchanted by the city’s magical atmosphere as it celebrates St. Nicholas. One of the best ways to experience the festivities and discover old-world holiday traditions is to stroll through its christmas markets. They’re the perfect place to take in the smells of gingerbread and piping hot cider, and shop for handcrafted gifts made by local artisans. In fact, Prague’s two main markets, one located along the slopes of Wenceslas Square and the other in Old Town Square were named “Best Christmas Markets in Europe” by Travel + Leisure magazine.  Offering the perfect location just steps from both Christmas markets, as well as Prague’s top attractions is the Adria Hotel Prague.

Ideally situated in Wenceslas Square, in the heart of Prague’s cultural, historical, and commercial center, the 4-star Adria Hotel combines the nostalgic charm of Old Prague with the convenience and services of a sophisticated modern hotel. The 89 guestrooms and suites are equipped with all the amenities and conveniences needed for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.  The multi-lingual staff is professional, friendly and helpful.

The hotel’s renowned Triton Restaurant, set up like an art nouveau stalactite cave, serves first class cuisine in an unforgettable setting. Triton Restaurant’s wine cellar features a superb Moravian and international wine selection with more than one treasure tucked away. The Triton Restaurant offers organic dishes made from the highest quality ecologically farmed ingredients. Additionally, guests can enjoy cocktails in the Lobby Bar and the Luna Cigar Club, a stylish lounge offering a wide selection of Cuban cigars and premium cocktails.  Hotel facilities include a business center, secretarial and concierge services, conference facilities and secure parking.
