The nine-room Pension Dientzenhofer has long been one of our favorites for Malástrana. It's a splurge, but so are most properties in this coveted, historic neighborhood. Steeped in history and ambiance, we think it's worth the extra Koruny.
Dating back to the 16th century, the Dietzenhofer's building was the birthplace of the baroque architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. Though his name may not be instantly recognizable, he and his father, Christoph, created one of Prague's most famous sites: the Church of St. Nicholas.
The Dientzenhofer is perfect for travelers who want more from their accommodations than just a convenient place to lay their head. Stained-glass windows, a private garden, views of the park and the river, chandeliers, and dark-wood furniture give the pension refined character. Rooms are rustic, though en suite bathrooms, direct-dial telephones, and satellite television offer convenience.
The pension's romantic dining room, wine cellar, and bar are great places to relax with a drink or two. Overall, the hotel is intimate and charming and makes a tranquil escape from the crowds on the other side of the river. All nine of the Dientzenhofer's rooms are specially designed to be handicap accessible. Parking costs an additional CZK 250 per night.
