The Buddha-Bar Hotel - Prague

[travel2fun]

How about that Buddha-Bar Hotel offer in Prague?

Who is going to jump on that?

kyshel, you had a good time in Prague on your last visit. Why not do two or three nights at the Buddha?

I saw it--for sure!! It's definitely one of the more "out-there" hotels in Prague. hmmmm... edgy vs classic?
Interesting concept, but I think I lean toward the Old World aspects of places like The Savoy or Le Palais.
As for the restaurant, I'll take dumplings on a terrace overlooking the Castle any day! Thanks for thinking of me!
PS--Delta is adding flights from JFK to PRG starting June...guess where I'm going this summer?

...or the Hotel Hoffmeister!

We usually end up stopping by the Buddha Bar in Paris for a late night "night cap".....not because it is such a nice club, or the music is tolerable or the drinks are reasonably priced.....it's just a unique place to see unusual people really trying to work their "mojo."

It is doubtful we would enjoy two nights at the Buddha-Bar Hotel in Prague....even if awarded to us free of charge! That said, next visit to Prague, we would stop by their bar for a late night "night cap" before heading back across the river to the Hotel Hoffmeister!Message Edited by omegaet on 05-08-2009 04:53 PM

I've never been to a Buddah-Bar. What makes them so unusual?

Music is a big part of the Buddha-Bar experiencethere are probably a dozen or more of their stylized albums available on CD.

If you are into this type of musicyou might enjoy their new Prague hotel.

t-2-f & -O-, maybe this is a better idea of the Budda in Paris

kyshel, I really expected you to jump all over The Buddha-Bar Hotel for your upcoming trip.

I have a friend headed to Prague this weekend. I'm going to send him an email and ask him to do a property inspection of the common areas at the Buddha-Bar and see if it is a place I would like.



Anyone else in the community paid a visit?

Finally got my report from my friends visiting Prague. They stopped by The Buddha-Bar Hotel for a couple of drinks and actually were shown a couple of the rooms/suites. They assured me this was not my kind of place. Nice for some people, but not my kind of place.

Buddha bar which originated in Paris is usually a place for trendy pretty young things into ambient music.
