Michelin Guide "Impressive former bank with a stunning marble lobby, an ornate ceiling, neo Renaissance style pillars and a smart Roman spa and pool."

Fodor's "Dripping with glamour, this mammoth 19th-century neoclassical palace is part of the Marriott Hotel's top-end Autograph Collection." Full review
Jetsetter "An opulent retreat with soaring frescoed ceilings and marble columns in the heart of Prague." Full review
