The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Prague
Prague's ethereal chapel-turned-spa
The moment you set foot inside The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Prague, you know you’re in for a relaxing stay. Set within a Renaissance chapel — with the remains of an even older church below your feet — the space’s illuminated stone walls, arches ...
READ MORE about The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, PragueOur Inspector's Highlights
- The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Prague’s centuries-old monastic heritage
is carefully preserved within a contemporary, minimalist design that feels cozy
rather than stark.
- In the lobby, look down to see the original
stone foundations of the 14th-century Gothic church. The ceiling and
fresco-covered walls remain from the later Renaissance chapel.
- Along with the Mandarin Oriental’s signature Aromatherapy
Associates products, this Prague
spa also uses Mcely Bouquet’s line of natural and organic skincare to enhance
certain treatments.
- Each service starts and ends with a long
ringing of the Tibetan tingsha, a set of two small, ornate cymbals that have
been used for centuries in Buddhist prayers and rituals.
- Despite its location just off the bustling and
tram-filled Ujezd street, this luxury spa is wonderfully silent. Thank the Dominican
monks who constructed the thick stone walls.
Things to Know
- Due to the historic nature of the building,
there is no pool. However, there are steam showers, small vitality pools and
other heat and water treatments in each room.
- For Mandarin Oriental hotel guests, an
underground hallway offers discreet direct access to the spa. Look in the
alcoves for archaeological finds dug up during the passage’s construction.
- For most the 19th and 20th centuries (after it
was a church, but before it was a spa), this building was a printing house. The
city’s first newspaper, Prager Tagblatt,
was printed here.
- The spa and its luxe facilities can only be
used by those over the age of 18.
The Treatments
- For a different approach to a spa treatment,
try a Time Ritual. This Mandarin Oriental innovation involves booking a set
amount of time, rather than specific treatments, so the therapist can tailor a
series of services to suit your individual needs.
- Try a quintessential Prague spa treatment with
the Linden Embrace. Inspired by the Czech national tree, whose heart-shaped
leaves are believed to be good for cardiac health, the service starts with tea
and includes a full-body scrub and holistic massage.
- The Digital Wellness Escape is designed to
ease the strains resulting from staring at screens all day, focusing on the head,
eyes, neck, shoulders, hands and feet.
- Feeling decadent? The Oriental Indulgence is a
four-hour whole-body treatment featuring a foot ritual, a body scrub, an essence
massage, an aromatherapy facial and a bento box meal.
The Facilities
- There are seven different treatment rooms in
this luxury spa, each with vaulted ceilings and a range of private heat and
water experiences, from steam showers to vitality pools.
- Before and after your treatment, you can relax
in the tea lounge, enjoying a selection of herbal sips while listening to soft music.
We recommend the mint tea with a spoonful of honey.
- This Prague spa also features a state-of-the-art
fitness center complete with Technogym treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, rowing
machines and weights. There are also personal trainers and yogis available — or
join the Prague Harriers CZ running club for some outdoor exercise.
