| An authentically superbly restored family residence is
the Hotel Hoffmeister, a historic gem that appeals to visitors from around the
world who want to experience the golden city of Prague. This most charming
hotel mirrors the history, culture and romance of Prague while offering
understated luxury with top notch service. Conveniently located right in the
heart of the historic city and close to the famous steps that are leading to
Prague's historic Castle, Hotel Hoffmeister is part of the Mala Strana
quarters, an area protected by UNESCO. But one of Hotel Hoffmeister's most
impressive assets is the inspiring wellness cave spa with its antic stonebath.
Ms. Lenny Vogels the lovely Marketing Director welcomed us with as smile that
roots back to centuries of true European hospitality, a trade that is hers and
the Hoffmeisters' family trade. General Manager Mr. Martin Hoffmeister is third
generation hotelier and most knowledgeable in hid trade. Our
accommodations
where fairy tale at best, freshly cut flower sense filled the uniquely designed
rooms and suites that were equipped with fine down filled duvet covers and
custom designed linens. |

| Nothing, absolutely
nothing would the discrimination guest miss in the luxurious hotel. Simone was
very impressed with the quality of the hotel amenities. But most important to
us was the lavish Wellness Center that is to be found in a 15th century cave
and separate facilities for ladies and gentlemen, offering an a la carte menu
of treatments and indulgences featuring old traditional and new European
therapies. But each couple gets the chance for a half hour of relaxations alone
in
the
hot tub spa cave; inspiring that was. |

| While Simone was unpacking our Rimowa make up case I
had to nibble from the most delicious home made cookie tray. Then we went for a
walk on cobblestone streets, passing fancy European shops, gourmet restaurants
and other architectural treasures reflected in the music and magic that makes
Prague. For centuries, gifted composers such as Beethoven, Mozart,
Dvorák, and Schubert created unmatched musical legacies of resounding
concerts, memorable symphonies, and sonorous operas,still heard in concert
halls around the world today. This historic establishment, formerly called the
Tyl Theater, saw the triumphant debut of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni in
1787. Just steps away is the Old Town Square that dates back to the 11th
century and has been restored to its Gothic and Renaissance glory. The most
impressive baroque Church of St. Nicholas is dominating the square. One can't
find a more superb location for a trip back to the past. |
