Alchymist Nosticova Palace

Alchymist Nosticova Palace is a boutique hotel on Hellichova, a quiet street in Malá Strana about two minutes' walk from Charles Bridge. It is a mainstream luxury hotel listed as gay-friendly. The 17th-century building has rooms with painted vaulted ceilings, clay-tile floors and large bathrooms, and there is a spa on site. It is small, with a Google rating of 4.5 from under 100 reviews, so book ahead. Prague's gay bars are mostly across the river in the New Town and Vinohrady. That means a walk over the bridge or a tram ride for a night out.
