Kempinski Hotels confirms 2027 opening for Prague property

Kempinski Hotels has confirmed its new Prague property will open in early 2027. 

Marking the group’s first acquisition in more than 50 years, the 101-room Augustine Hotel will be housed within an 800-year-old working Augustinian monastery in Malá Strana.

The property will span several historic buildings, “bringing the monastery’s gothic and baroque architecture, centuries of history and distinctly bohemian spirit into a more contemporary expression of Kempinski”.

The monastery’s refectory (communal dining hall) will be repurposed into an all-day dining concept and intimate bar area, featuring a cocktail menu inspired by alchemy.

There will also be a programme of experiences to connect visitors with local creatives and craftspeople.
