Prague Hotels
Hotel Josef has been featured in numerous publications around the world and is one of the finest contemporary hotels in Europe. Designed by London-based EJAL the hotel is situated in the heart of the city.

The most famous building in Prague is surely the castle - and Saint Vitus Cathedral within in the grounds - though the 15th century Charles Bridge (over the Vltava river) as a structure requires a mention. In terms of contemporary architecture probably the Fred & Ginger building (Dancing House) would take this title.
