#3 Hilton Prague – 5 Star Hotel – Outskirts – £110 per double per night
You either love the Hilton or you hate it. Many are seduced by the reliable quality and extras they receive with their H Honors card and staying at the Hilton, no matter the city, makes sense. However, here in Prague, this Hilton does have a touch of individuality as well as breathtaking views over the city. As far as Luxury Hotels Prague go, the Hilton is an obvious choice, it is also very fairly priced.

#4 – Savoy Hotel Prague – 5 Star Hotel – Mala Strana – £114 per double per night
In the Uber-Fashionable Mala Strana district at the top of the Hill, past the famous Nerudova Street sits the proud Savoy Hotel Prague. A very traditional Luxury Prague Hotel and another offering perfect service. However, it is the free extras here that really make the Savoy Hotel Prague stand out. The Savoy throws in everything including a free goodie bag! Wifi, spa, sauna, steam room, free underground parking, breakfast and possibly a piggy back to your room if you request it. Nothing is too much effort here.

+ Fresh, gourmet restaurant, one of the best in Prague
+ Multiple amenities, all you’d expect plus afternoon tea and the Wall St Journal
+ Best Location of all the affordable options, stone’s throw from Prague Castle

+ An internationally renowned restaurant with a selection of fine wines

Which are of Prague will suit you?
Josefov is a particularly good location for your stay in Prague. Just 5 minutes from the old town, this is the old Jewish District which is now home to Prague’s most chic restaurants and shopping street; Parizska. All the great boutiques are here, Fendi, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and more.
Vinohrady is where the well healed and trendy spend their evenings but it also a gentrified area of the city with large European style street layouts and international restaurants on every corner. This is the bo-ho region of Prague. The hotels here, including the Le Palais are less traditional in style and tend to be art or boutique hotels.
Mala Strana is the district just below Prague Castle. This is Prague’s wealthiest district and many of the classical concerts advertised in the Old Town take place here. It is home to the embassies and the international schools. Many consider this the most beautiful district of Prague and this is where Prague’s literary and musical elite hang out.
Smichov is the arty heart of the city, if you’re into underground musical events or politics this is the place to be. It is also where Prague’s University set come to let their hair down. We recommend Smichov for those interested in the Czech Beer industry as this area is home to many of the local breweries who allow visitors into their breweries for tours and tastings.

These Are the Breaks $21.59 Krafty Kuts isn’t a line of sliced cheese marketed toward young urban professionals. It’s actually a he — a U.K.-based breakbeat DJ named Martin Reeves. These two discs, spun by Reeves, are broken up into separate themes, with the first dominated by old school and golden age-era hip-hop (KRS-One, Public Enemy, Kurtis Blow), while the second disc is centered around funky breaks and left-field house (Plump DJs, Chicken Lips, Freestylers). Just when Reeves veers toward the safe and predictable, he manages to pull off a trick — like when he lays the vocals from Ultramagnetic MC’s’ “Poppa Large” atop Röyksopp’s “Eple” — to make the set stand out from the average mix. Even though he’s no stranger to throwing wrinkles into the sets, he still keeps the listener/crowd in mind at all times. There are worse ways to spend a couple hours. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Performers: Rodney P. – Vocals; Steve Grainger – Keyboards |

Breaks from the Border $12.73 Rather than take a well-deserved break after a U.S. festival tour, Leeds U.K. funk quartet the New Mastersounds flew to Tomillo, Texas’ Sonic Ranch, a residential neighborhood studio located near the border between the States and Mexico. Deciding they wanted to append their near-constant instrumental output with vocals — that have primarily occurred on stages rather than in the studio — they flew in Rhianna “Freckles” Kenny to collaborate in the writing, arranging, and recording process. Cut in just over a week, Breaks from the Border reflects the bubbling, energetically infectious sounds of the New Mastersounds at their best, while adding depth and dimension to some beautifully breezy, elastic, harmonically savvy vocals that never manage to get in the way of the quartet’s knotty, rave-up funky grooves. All four members harmonize on opener “Take What You Need,” which merely highlights their backbeat-driven Meters-influenced funk with an into-the-red bassline groove led by Pete Shand. They pick up the tempo with “Run the Gauntlet,” featuring a smoking B-3 solo by Joe Tatton. The knotty breaks by kit man Simon Allen fuel the shimmering group vocals on “On the Border,” while the finger-popping dialogue between the bassline and Eddie Roberts’ jazz guitar wrangling on “Freckles” accounts for one of the finest moments on the disc. The burning Afro-funk at the heart of “Walk in These Shoes” reveals the quartet at full rhythm burn, even with the four-part harmonies adding a breezy, humid element to the mix. Roberts’ guitar break is one of the best on any New Mastersounds studio effort. “Josus” walks on the jazz side of funk and “Can You Get It?” sounds like an update of the Meters’ bubble and broil. Kenny takes her own lead vocal break on the album-closing jazzer “Up in the Air,” with spacy psychedelic soul grooves from the New Mastersounds. On paper, it would have seemed that Breaks from the Border might have fallen short; as it stands, however, this set adds another level of from-the-basement groove to the quartet’s already formidable attack. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi |
