The ICON Hotel and Lounge

The ICON Hotel and Lounge is a design-focused boutique property tucked away on a quiet side street, providing a peaceful retreat just one block from the energetic Wenceslas Square. The building itself is steeped in history, having once served as an orphanage and an Orthodox church, with a tiny hidden chapel that the reception staff can arrange for guests to view. Inside, designer Jirka Dohnal has curated a sleek, contemporary aesthetic featuring neon-tube installations, functionalist furniture, and vibrant green and gold armchairs in a lobby that feels slightly futuristic. The service is personalized and attentive, with a staff that specializes in connecting guests to the local arts scene, booking private tours, and handling practical needs like laundry or public transport tickets. For those looking to unwind, the lobby-level Six Senses wellness facility offers a focused menu of Filipino and Thai massages alongside a variety of beauty and facial remedies. Dining is equally convenient, with the in-house Masala restaurant serving Tandoori and grill-based meals, including extensive vegan and vegetarian choices, alongside an à la carte breakfast menu that caters to specific dietary needs like lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivities.
