Finding the perfect hotel in Prague can honestly feel a little overwhelming.
There are so many beautiful places to stay in the city, but after staying at The Julius Prague, I completely understood why this hotel keeps appearing on lists of the best hotels in Prague.
Located right in the centre of the city, The Julius Prague combines apartment-style living with the feel of a luxury boutique hotel - which, in my opinion, makes it ideal for a longer Prague city break or a more relaxed stay in the Czech capital.
But what is it actually like staying there?
After experiencing it for myself, here's everything you need to know before booking The Julius Prague - including the rooms, location, breakfast, facilities, and whether it's worth the price for your Prague city break.
Where is The Julius Prague?
- Powder Gate Tower - right on your doorstep
- Old Town Square and the Prague Astronomical Clock - 10 minutes on foot
- Wenceslas Square - a very short walk
- Prague's Jewish Quarter (Josefov) - walkable
- Charles Bridge - reachable on foot
- Prague Castle - best reached by tram
- Palladium Shopping Centre - around 6 minutes away
👉 Good to know: Public transport connections are excellent for reaching areas further out.
The Rooms at The Julius Prague
The rooms at The Julius Prague are among the best I've stayed in during any European city break - and that's not a statement I make lightly.
Depending on the room category you book for your Prague stay, you can expect:
- Fully equipped kitchenettes with Miele appliances
- Separate living and sleeping areas
- Warm autumnal decor inspired by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha
- Wooden floors and high ceilings
- Remote-controlled curtains and lighting
- Complimentary coffee, tea, and water (replenished daily)
- Premium bedding and generous bathrooms
- Two televisions (one in the bedroom, one in the living area)
The overall feel is modern luxury with real warmth - exactly what you want after a day exploring Prague's Old Town.
👉 Travel tip: If you're booking a romantic break in Prague or celebrating a special occasion, the suites are genuinely worth the upgrade.
Food & Dining at The Julius Prague
One of the highlights of staying at The Julius Prague - and something that sets it apart from a lot of Prague hotels - is the breakfast.
Served in The Brasserie, the hotel's Italian-inspired restaurant, the quality is noticeably above average for a city break hotel.
Expect:
- Fresh-pressed juices
- Seasonal, carefully sourced ingredients
- A calm, unhurried setting - nothing like the chaotic buffet queues at larger Prague hotels
- Strong coffee (naturally, given the Julius Meinl heritage)
The same space runs through lunch and into the evening, making it a reliable option for nights when you don't want to hunt for a restaurant after a full day of sightseeing in Prague.
👉 Good to know: Breakfast is not included in the room rate and is charged at approximately €30 per person. Worth factoring into your overall Prague trip budget.
Is The Julius Prague Worth It?
The Julius Prague sits firmly in the luxury Prague hotel bracket - but for what you get, the value is strong.
The combination of apartment-style space, prime location in Prague city centre, Italian-influenced design, and genuinely excellent service makes it one of the best places to stay in Prague for travellers who want to feel like they're living in the city rather than just passing through.
Who is it best for?
- Couples planning a romantic city break in Prague
- Anyone building a 3 days in Prague or weekend in Prague itinerary
- Solo travellers or remote workers wanting space and a coworking setup
- Travellers who want a central Prague hotel without the Old Town tourist chaos
- Anyone who values design and wants their hotel to be part of the experience
