A Festive Mosaic by Emblem Places

Where is the best place to soak up the magic of festive Prague and celebrate the end of the year in grand style? There isn’t just one answer. The Emblem Places group offers an entire mosaic of experiences, from luxury accommodation and top-tier gastronomy, to relaxation high above the rooftops of the Old Town.

Whether you are planning a quiet Christmas, a spectacular New Year’s Eve, or simply looking for a place to meet with friends or business partners, their establishments are a safe bet for unforgettable moments.

The group’s flagship is the boutique hotel The Emblem on Platnéřská Street. Upon entering the historic building, you are enveloped by an aura of discreet luxury. Instead of a cold lobby, you will find a space with comfortable sofas and a warm fireplace. On the walls, you can admire works by contemporary Czech and world artists like Eva Koťátková, Jiří Kovanda, and Tauba Auerbach, whose work is also represented in the collections of the Tate and MoMA. The hotel offers 59 rooms, three luxury suites, and one jewel hidden on the very top floor.

There, you will find the unique M Spa, a rooftop wellness sanctuary with a terrace, a jacuzzi, and an unforgettable view of the Prague Castle panorama. Instead of standard procedures, they rely on the ‘mixology’ philosophy of the French brand Codage, where a therapist, after a thorough analysis, mixes a cocktail of active ingredients precisely tailored to your skin’s current needs. It is a highly personal ritual, ideal for regenerating after a demanding year. And you don’t have to go far for a festive dinner. Located right in the hotel is the renowned steakhouse George Prime Steak, ranked among the world’s top 100 gourmet restaurants, where you can indulge in the highest quality meat and fresh seafood.

Festivities with an Iconic View

But Emblem Places is not just about one hotel. The group operates several restaurants at the finest Prague addresses, which serve as the ideal backdrop for festive gatherings. Do you want to dine with a breathtaking view of Charles Bridge? Head to Brick’s restaurant in the historic Hergetova Cihelna on the Malá Strana side. Its terrace is undoubtedly one of the most photogenic in Prague, and during the holidays, its kitchen is ready for two different festive chapters. For Christmas, specifically from 24 to 26 December, the menu is in the spirit of refined Czech tradition. Guests can indulge in specialities like snails in wild garlic butter, traditional mushroom kuba, or a clear fish consommé. Classics like veal or chicken schnitzel with potato salad are also a must.

New Year’s Eve, in contrast, is a celebration of global luxury. A tasting menu is prepared, which includes a Gillardeau oyster with a champagne gratin, Norwegian langoustine tartare, foie gras crème brûlée, halibut with caviar, and veal tenderloin with truffles. The evening also includes wine pairings, drinks, unlimited Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne, and, of course, a midnight toast.

Prague on a Plate

If you long for the atmosphere of the Old Town Square with a view of the Astronomical Clock, take a seat in the garden of White Horse, which is hidden in the 12th-century Romanesque cellars of the House at the Golden Unicorn. Inside, you are enveloped by the silence of stone walls; outside, by the energy of the square – and the menu is an elegant homage to Czech cuisine. Alongside svíčková or beef goulash, the confit duck leg with thyme and the Old Bohemian roasted pork knuckle excel here. Lovers of international cuisine will enjoy Brazilian tenderloin steaks. White Horse is the ideal place for those who want to experience the authentic atmosphere of Prague, where every moment – from the first coffee or breakfast to a late dinner – delivers an unforgettable Prague experience.

If you prefer the majesty of Prague Castle, then Lví Dvůr restaurant is located right on the castle grounds. The 16th-century building offers an elegant setting and a view of the Royal Garden and St. Vitus Cathedral, while the cuisine is the best of Czech tradition with a modern interpretation. You can enjoy veal schnitzel with potato salad, confit duck leg with red cabbage and gnocchi, or classic svíčková.

Each of these establishments has its own unique character, but all are united by the Emblem Places philosophy: top quality, a personal approach, and the desire to create an unforgettable experience for guests. Whichever one you choose to spend your holidays in, you can be sure that you will be in the very best hands and will take home memories that last.
