Buddha Bars Aren't Just Bars Anymore, A Prague Hotel is Coming

If you thought the Buddha Bar was just a cool place for a drink in New York or Paris, you would have been more or less right, until now. Because there's actually going to be a Buddha-Bar Hotel in, of all places, Prague.

There'll be a Buddha Bar within the hotel, of course, which will run on similar lines as the bars in other cities. The hotel itself will be a five-star hotel which has a big task if the website is telling the truth: it has to

embolden the essence of contemporary modern Asian interior design with French colonial influence and will be located in the heart of Prague, in a historical building just few steps away from the Old Town Square.

Now we love the center of Prague, definitely don't mind a Buddha Bar and are so far impressed by the Buddha-Bar Hotel's funky website. If it lives up to expectations, this could be a great place to crash.

The grand opening is planned for the "last quarter" of 2008, which is coming up pretty quickly. After that the Buddha-Bar chain plans to open hotels all over the world, including Panama, Paris, Budapest, Dubai and New York. We'll be keeping our eyes on this one.
