1. The place to be seen: Hotel Josef

You cannot miss the pink and orange façade of the Josef — located in Josefov, the old Jewish quarter. It's one of the only boutique hotels in the city centre and conveniently located next to the elegant Parizka street with its shops and cocktail bars, and the Old Town Square. The glass bathrooms and beautifully-upholstered interiors were designed by Eva Jiricna, who has worked on hotels in London and Paris. For the best views go for the upper floor rooms in the pink house.

· Prices: from €149 to €200 (£107 to £143) for a double.
