Hilton Prague Atrium

Most hotel gyms are an afterthought. The LivingWell Health Club & Spa isn't one of them. This place covers 2,000 square meters. It’s a serious destination for anyone who actually wants to stay fit. You'll find a heated indoor pool that's actually large enough for laps. Hit the sauna or steam room afterward. The water is kept at a comfortable heat and you can lounge on the chairs nearby. They have a full spa menu if you need a massage to kill off the jet lag. Try the Swedish therapy or a Thai massage. They also do facials and beauty services. The gym uses current-gen tech so you don't have to compromise your routine. You can even play a game on the indoor squash court. It’s one of the best setups in the European luxury market.

Eating here means you don't have to leave the glass roof. The big draw is Cloud 9 Sky Bar & Lounge. It sits 40 meters above the Vltava and the view of the skyline is worth the price of a drink. Go for the signature cocktails and stay for the DJ sets on weekends. If you want something less flashy, try Hop House. They focus on Czech craft beer and better-than-average pub food. The bar pours local craft and bottled beers. They also have drafts on tap. It’s an authentic vibe for a hotel bar. For a quick coffee or a salad, the Café & Bistro in the atrium is bright and leafy. It works well for a fast lunch between meetings. The terrace at Cloud 9 stays open-air when the weather is good. You get variety without the tourist traps.
