The fact that monks still live and practice here gives the Augustine Hotel a unique aura. Located in the area of Prague referred to as Malá Strana, seven historic buildings—the most significant among them being the 13th-century Augustinian St. Thomas Monastery—house the 85 rooms and 16 suites of this luxury hotel. The architects respected the structural conditions, and the entire complex with its countless steps and interior courtyards seems like a labyrinth designed to be explored.
