Everything worked out for our girl Amy at yesterday as we and she knew it would. Tablet Hotels was able to get her into a family suite at the Alchymist Grand Hotel, after her initial hotel missed its opening date.
Here's what is inside a family suite :
These two level Rooms are the ideal combination of two deluxe rooms, especially for families. The Family Rooms feature a two separated bedrooms with one queen size bed and two twin beds on the upper level.
Each bedroom has air-conditioning, LCD TV with premium channels, DVD and CD player, safe, mini-bar and high speed internet access. Family Rooms have two separate bathrooms, one with shower corner only and one with a shower, bath-tub and bidet. The size is 60 square meters or 650
square feet."
Awwww, that's the kind of happy ending we like to see!
Our good friend Amy over at NewYorkology wrote to us this morning to share some nerve-wracking, last-minute, unplanned changes to her travel plans to Prague.
It turns out the Alchymist Residence Nosticova has not completed its reconstruction, despite taking reservations on its website as recently as a week ago.
Since Amy booked through Tablet Hotels, the boutique hotel booking site is doing their best to relocate her. However, such a change the day before she's due to take off has not made for easy pre-trip organization.
The Mandarin Oriental Prague is already somewhere we've decided is a good place to stay. We're just a bit more tempted still when they offer interesting packages like the City of Music or Treasures of Prague packages available now.
Drawing on Prague's three opera houses and dozen orchestras as justification for dreaming up the City of Music package, the hotel is offering luxury accommodation, a bottle of wine, a selection of Czech classical music recordings to take home with you, a three-hour guided tour of "Musical Prague", two opera or symphony tickets and a few other goodies, all designed to keep music lovers happy.
This package is available for a minimum three night stay, with the second and third nights being cheaper; for a three night stay in the Superior room you'll pay €1,129 ($1,600). The Treasures of Prague packages follows a similar line and includes Prague Castle excursions plus a foot massage "to counter any potential cobblestone fatigue".
You may not be able to pronounce it, but luckily that's not a prerequisite for staying at the Hotel U Tří Pštrosů in Prague. For the record, we can't pronounce it either (especially with that pesky "ř" sound that Czechs like to challenge visitors to pronounce when drunk), but if it's easier, think of the translation, which means "At the Three Ostriches". The story goes that many moons ago during the reign of Charles IV, a foreign delegation stayed here who'd brought three ostriches as a gift for the big guy. We don't really know why, but at least it makes for an interesting hotel name.
Anyways, thanks to tipster Kim who recently threw some pics into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool, we can tell you that there are now no ostriches in the rooms. Or at least not in Room 11 where Kim stayed. And she also mentioned that they have free Wifi, which we love. After the jump, you can see the view from her room, which makes it clear just how close this place is to the famous Charles Bridge.
