One of the most magical things about visiting Prague is seeing Prague Castle lit up above the city. Now imagine waking up to that view right from your hotel window or enjoying it with a glass of wine at sunset. That’s why I’ve put together my personal picks for the best luxury hotels in Prague with castle views — places I’d recommend to friends, family, or anyone planning a special trip.
1. Four Seasons Hotel Prague
If you want the classic luxury experience in Prague, the Four Seasons is hard to beat. Its riverside location gives you unbeatable views of both Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. It’s elegant, polished, and exactly what you’d expect from a world-famous hotel brand.
Why I love it: The riverside terrace is one of the best spots in the city for castle views.
2. Mandarin Oriental, Prague
Tucked away in Malá Strana in a former monastery, the Mandarin Oriental is calm, stylish, and has a spa that feels like a secret escape. Some rooms come with direct views of the castle towers.
Why I love it: A peaceful retreat that feels worlds away, even though you’re steps from the castle.
3. Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel
The Augustine is history brought to life — it’s part of a former monastery right beneath the castle. Castle-view rooms here mix elegant design with a real sense of heritage.
Why I love it: The blend of history and luxury is spot on.
4. Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa
The Alchymist is a Baroque gem and feels wonderfully romantic. Its suites are full of character, and some open up toward the castle. Add in the spa, and you’ve got a true escape.
Why I love it: Perfect for couples looking for a fairytale Prague stay.
5. Aria Hotel Prague
If you’re a music lover, you’ll love the Aria Hotel. Each room is themed around a musical legend, and the rooftop terrace is simply stunning — with wide views over Malá Strana and the castle.
Why I love it: The terrace. It’s a hidden gem for castle photos and evening drinks.
6. The Mozart Prague (Pachtův Palace)
A riverside palace with centuries of history, The Mozart is classy and elegant. Book one of the suites facing the river for those perfect castle-and-bridge views.
Why I love it: It feels like stepping into Prague’s history, but with modern comfort.
7. Golden Well Hotel (U Zlaté Studně)
This boutique gem sits just below the castle, so close you can almost touch it. The rooms are charming, and the restaurant terrace has incredible views across the rooftops.
Why I love it: Cozy, intimate, and one of the most romantic spots in town.
8. Hotel U Prince
Right on Old Town Square, Hotel U Prince is famous for its rooftop terrace. Grab a drink at sunset, and you’ll have the castle twinkling in the distance.
Why I love it: The rooftop view is unforgettable — especially in the evening.
My tip: If staying here is out of budget, you can still visit the rooftop restaurant and bar — it offers one of the very best views of Prague Castle and Old Town.
9. Hotel Three Storks
Modern design meets history at the Three Storks in Malá Strana. Some rooms have castle views, and the location is ideal for exploring the quieter side of Prague.
Why I love it: Sleek, stylish, and just a short walk to the castle gates.
10. Residence U Mecenáše
If you prefer an apartment-style stay, Residence U Mecenáše offers luxury suites with castle views right on the Royal Route. It’s perfect if you’re traveling as a family or staying a bit longer.
Why I love it: Space, flexibility, and those magical castle views from your own living room.
Final Thoughts
These are my personal picks for the top castle-view hotels in Prague — each one special in its own way. Whether you want classic luxury at the Four Seasons, boutique charm at the Golden Well, or apartment comfort at Residence U Mecenáše, all of them promise that unforgettable view of Prague Castle.
My tip: Castle-view rooms sell out fast, especially around Christmas and summer, so book early if you want that perfect window to Prague’s skyline.
