Music is one of the cultural touchstones of Prague. Immerse yourself in it at the Aria Hotel Prague, a chic, classy boutique hotel designed by Spatium, a firm best known for its work with Versace. The Aria has more personality and whimsy than the other luxury hotels in town, and the location can't be beat - it's in the heart of Mala Strana, the historic district below the famed Prague Castle and surrounded by some of the most beautiful architecture in Prague. The American embassy is a few doors away, as is David, one of the city's most intimate and romantic restaurants.

Your musical enlightenment begins when you enter the lobby - music notes form the mosaic tiles on the floor and your room key is in the shape of a treble clef. Forget your iPod? No worries, as guests are given a pre-loaded one for the stereo in their room. An added bonus is that the concierge is actually a musicologist who will advise you on the best musical events taking place during your stay and secure tickets to the philharmonic or the opera.

Each floor's well-appointed suites and rooms feature a different composer, musician or musical style, but whether you're a music aficionado or not, you'll long be singing the praises of the hotel's muted, modern atmosphere and genuinely warm staff.
