Ultramarin restaurant - Serving a breakfast buffet, lunch, dinner and snacks, Ultramarin's menu combines French, Latin American and Asian cuisine. A low, gothic ceiling and wood floor are offset by bright orange walls decorated with contemporary photography and steel chairs upholstered in woven leather. The lively atmosphere and innovative menu draws a crowd of locals as well as guests.

Ultramarin music bar - In the stone-lined cellar of the hotel, this bar has live music twice a week and is packed with locals every night. Walls are decorated with a changing exhibition of contemporary photography and steel chairs are upholstered in rough, woven leather.

Insider tip: Winding Ostrovní heads west toward the river – getting lost in the lanes that meander off it is one of Prague's great pleasures. Visitors who get as far as the river (a three-minute walk) and head south will see some of the city's most gorgeous Art Nouveau apartment blocks, including the dramatic, eagle-topped Goethe Institut.
