| What to expect: Shaped like a butterfly, the Don Giovanni stands aloof from the apartments, stores and lively pubs of Žižkov. Through the large revolving door, the neon-lit lobby has a deep blue, star-spangled roof. The busy lobby is filled with chatty convention-goers perching on ultra-modern red and black armchairs. Amenity highlights: With three restaurants, Don Giovanni caters for rushed business visitors grabbing a quick buffet plate or leisurely diners who appreciate Allegretto's fine French food in minimalist surroundings. The wellness center includes two saunas, jetted tub and massage, as well as weight and fitness machines. The Expect More lounge caters for business travelers, with Internet access and meeting rooms. Insider tip: Guests with rooms on the north side of the hotel have views over two of the city's large, historic cemeteries, Olšany and the New Jewish Cemetery. The Jewish cemetery is the final resting place of Prague's best-known and most-loved author, Franz Kafka. Jan Palach, who martyred himself to protest the Soviet invasion of the Czech Republic in 1968, is buried in Olšany. |
