Taking Refuge in the Hotel Josef in Prague, Czech Republic

Glass walls, shiny chrome and an open-plan scheme lend Josef a design-heavy aura different from anywhere else in Prague. They've made the most of every inch, effecting the architectural equivalent of a Wonderbra. The impression of openness is achieved by housing the pale-limestone bathroom in a glass box—smart thinking. Philippe Starck taps visible on the sink also suggest the designers had an exhibitionist streak. A chic white-on-white lobby,with a glowing glass-fronted bar and reception desk welcomes you into the seemingly sprawling hotel, and instantly instills calm. This uncluttered space designed by Eva Jiřičná, near the old Jewish Quarter, or Josefov, is a tranquil refuge in magnificent Prague.

Hotel Josef

Come to one of the oldest cities in the world, and stay at Hotel Josef, one of the most contemporary boutique hotels a traveller can encounter. With its bright pops of color and chic minimalist decor, it is a modern design haven. Designed by Eva Jiricna, the hotel is situated right in the center of Prague, and is just a stone's throw away from the central courtyard. Low sleek beds and acrylic furniture fill an impeccably clean and amply sized room. The best part of Hotel Josef is that while it may dazzle you with its decor, it doesn't break the bank!
