This wonderful boutique hotel opened in September 2003 in the city's atmospheric Mala Strana district. It overlooks the beautiful Vrtbovska Gardens and is just two minutes' walk from Charles Bridge.

The Aria is a celebration of music and this theme resonates throughout the hotel with each floor dedicated to either jazz, opera, classical or contemporary music and each room dedicated to a particular artist or composer. The hotel has a music library where the Aria's Musical Director is on hand to assist guests with their choice from over 1,000 books, 2,000 CD's and 500 DVDs and to offer recommendations on the city's numerous concerts and opera performances. The 51 bedrooms are all beautifully furnished in a contemporary style with state-of-the-art audio systems and designer Italian furnishings. The winter garden lounge has a grand piano, a fountain, and an open fireplace and the large rooftop terrace where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in fine weather has some of the city's most spectacular views. There is also a fintess centre with sauna and massage.
