King of the Castle
"A man's home is his castle." We've all heard it, but rarely does the saying represent a literal truth. Thanks to Four Seasons Hotel Prague, that's all about to change - sort of. While we can't offer you a deed to a home surrounded by fortified walls and turrets, we can promise you a private after-hours tour of one.
Castle Karlstejn may be high on a hill, but this is no "castle in the air" - it's a work of Gothic architecture built in 1348 by King Charles IV as a place to safeguard the royal treasures, including relics of the Holy Roman Empire.
The five-storied Imperial Palace is at the centre of the property, with the imposing 196-ft.-high Great Tower, well, towering overhead. Inside, you'll be treated to 129 wall paintings, the largest portrait gallery of Czech rulers found anywhere in the world, and a replica of King Wenceslas' crown. (Yes, that Good King Wenceslas!)
Four Seasons Hotel Prague is the only Hotel offering this exclusive tour, so book your personal "coronation" today.
