L'Old Royal Post Boutique Hotel occupies a baroque palace on Maltézské Náměstí, former royal post square in Malá Strana. We sleep in suites with vaulted ceilings, original stuccos, solid oak parquet floors, contemporary Czech furniture that respects the volumes. Light enters through high mullioned windows overlooking red tiled roofs or the paved square. The restaurant serves Czech-European cuisine in a dining room under restored frescoes, attentive service without being stiff. From 162 € per night, which remains accessible for a historic 5★ in the centre. The airport shuttle avoids the taxi journey often complicated in the alleys. We recommend without reservation ✨.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Old Royal Post to travellers seeking heritage authenticity without sacrificing modern comfort. It is an address for couples on a romantic weekend, baroque architecture enthusiasts, cultural travellers who want to sleep in a real palace without paying palace prices. Families find their place in the spacious suites, but the atmosphere remains hushed, conducive to stays for two.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building dates from the 17th century, Czech baroque period, and served as a royal post relay on the route to Vienna. Three-storey ochre facade with mullioned windows, sculpted stone portal. Interiors restored with respect for original volumes: vaulted ceilings between 3.5 and 4.5 metres, stuccos, wall frescoes, solid oak parquet floors. Premium suites occupy the noble floors with open views over the roofs of Malá Strana.
