Welcome to Aria Hotel Prague
A virtuoso hotel could only be inspired by music
One of the world’s leading musical destinations, Prague, with its rich cultural heritage, served as the inspiration for architecture firm Spatium best known for their work for Gianni Versace. Architect Rocco Magnoli, along with his partner Lorenzo Carmellini, was commissioned to create a beautiful and architecturally distinctive central Prague hotel. Magnoli incorporated the notes of past and present to create an exquisitely-designed five-star hotel. This central Prague hotel was transformed from a row of modest gray stone and yellow stucco buildings into a luxurious musical haven.
One of the most exquisite original features is the ancient Gregorian chant represented in Italian mosaic which forms a path leading guests from the wrought iron gates at the entrance of the hotel, through reception, building to a crescendo as it enters the Winter Garden. Rooms are warm and spacious and furnished with opulent antiques.
Artists celebrated by the Aria Hotel range from Dvořák to Elvis, Mozart to Billie Holiday. Each room is enhanced with original artwork and a selection of books. A flat screen computer in each room is equipped with the biography of the featured composer or artist and an iPod connection loaded music of 52 composers. From the Music Library to the Private Screening Room, guests of the Aria Hotel can explore the wide range of opportunities to experience the joy of music. Dr Ivana Stehlikova, who has a PhD in Musicology, is Aria Hotel’s Music Director. She is available to provide advice on current cultural and musical activities in Prague to guests.
