Augustine Hotel Prague, a member of Marriott's Luxury Collection, occupies the buildings of St. Thomas Monastery in Malá Strana, an Augustinian complex founded in 1285 and one of the oldest surviving monastic sites in Prague. The hotel sits on Letenská, a short walk from Malostranské náměstí and roughly ten minutes on foot from Charles Bridge. Prague Castle is visible from the monastery grounds, and the Wallenstein Garden — open in summer — is a five-minute walk.
The conversion retained original Gothic and Baroque vaulting in key public areas, and the former monastery cells were reconfigured into guest rooms with contemporary furnishings layered over centuries-old stonework. Superior and Deluxe rooms occupy the residential wings of the complex; Monastery Suites in the original conventual building preserve the highest concentration of period architectural fabric, including intact frescoes in selected chambers. A private garden courtyard, unavailable to most hotels in central Prague, provides a quiet outdoor space during summer months. Rooms across all categories are air-conditioned and equipped with fast WiFi.
The Augustine Bar serves a selection of dark lager brewed by the Augustinian monks at Marzell, Germany, maintaining a symbolic connection to the monastic brewing traditions historically associated with the St. Thomas order. The restaurant offers modern Czech and European cuisine with a seasonal menu that changes quarterly. A spa with treatment rooms and sauna completes the wellness provision, though there is no swimming pool on site.
The hotel is particularly popular with culturally oriented travellers drawn to the combination of historical authenticity and contemporary standards. Full Marriott Bonvoy loyalty participation makes it a practical choice for programme members. Concierge services cover private Prague Castle tours, Václav Havel Airport transfers, and classical music concert access.

Highlights
- Located within St. Thomas Monastery, an Augustinian complex founded in 1285 — one of the oldest monastic sites in Prague still in partial use

Tips for visiting
- Monastery Suites are substantially larger than standard rooms and are often priced only marginally higher than Junior Suites during shoulder season in October–November and February–March
- Prague Castle is a fifteen-minute uphill walk; an early-morning visit before 9 am avoids peak visitor volumes and gives the best light for photography from the ramparts
- The enclosed monastery garden is open to guests in warm weather and is rarely crowded — a quieter alternative to the rooftop bars and busy public gardens elsewhere in Malá Strana
