Another great writer/philosopher who left his mark on Prague was Jan Neruda, but the street that bears his name -- Nerudova -- is hardly remembered as the scene of his 19th-century literary greatness. Instead, it is a cozy alley of stores and pubs leading up to the castle. Squeezed into the long row of curiosity shops is a strong contender for the best boutique hotel in Malá Strana -- the Hotel Neruda. This refurbished 42-room villa has combined a high level of modern elegance with the original accents of its 14th-century shell. Most of the fixtures -- from the fresh new bathrooms to the beds and dining tables -- suggest a bold sense of Prague's promising future, but enveloped within its Renaissance past. With the recent summers setting new records for heat, you will appreciate the air-conditioning. Check the website for last-minute discounts.
