The Alchymist Grand Hotel & Spa in Prague is housed in a magnificent Baroque house “Dům u Ježíška,” dating from the 16th century, and it takes its name from the time of Rudolf II, whose court teemed with alchemists seeking to turn base metal into gold. This elegant 5-star hotel has been sensitively restored to provide visitors with all possible modern comforts and yet, at the same time, it has retained its historical charm. The hotel’s Aquarius Restaurant features an eclectic array of French, Italian and Mediterranean dishes, which includes a wide selection of home-made pasta, fresh fish and other seafood, along with a wine list offering more than 90 wines from the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain and Chile.
