ituated just off the historic Old Town Square,
Prague's fi ve-star Emblem Hotel off ers design
and art as main draws. Examples include Tom
Dixon copper shades, a Vladmir Kagan Swan sofa
and staff uniforms by Czech fashion designer
Jakub Polanka. In addition to its top-fl oor
location, the boutique hotel's light and airy M Spa
distinguishes itself with its clean, minimalist look.
Before my treatment, I spent some time in
the wellness area wet room. The walls and fl oor
of the long, narrow space are made from a white
Carrara marble warmed with dark wood accents,
and the space features a KLAFS steam room,
sauna and ice fountain. The area also includes
a Kneipp Path, where guests walk on stones in
a shallow pool of hot water, then switch to an
adjacent cold-water pool. The path pays homage
to 19th-century priest Sebastian Kneipp, who
discovered the benefi ts of cold water stimulation
for the circulatory and immune systems.
