Augustine occupies seven interconnected buildings of the 13th-century Augustinian St. Thomas Monastery, immediately below Prague Castle and steps from Charles Bridge, where baroque frescoes in a double-height vaulted refectory, a peacock-flanked Sundial Garden, and a private entrance to St. Thomas Church offer wedding couples a range of settings. Designed by Olga Polizzi and home to 101 individually crafted rooms, it is a hotel that wears its 800 years lightly. The venue can accommodate up to 180 guests for your wedding celebration.
The Augustinians built their monastery here in the 13th century, and several friars still live in a wing adjacent to the hotel — a detail that sets the tone for a stay at the Augustine. Interior designer Olga Polizzi threaded modern comfort through seven interconnected medieval buildings without erasing any of the original detail: the Refectory Bar occupies the monastery's double-height barrel-vaulted hall, its 17th-century baroque frescoes restored to full colour above the cocktail glasses; the suites in the monastery building display original oak beams and vaulted ceilings; the Monastic Library preserves its 1603 marble portal and original Baroque oak shelving, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays a monk leads private tours of the collection for hotel guests.
At the heart of the complex, the Sundial Garden offers the kind of urban outdoor setting that Prague rarely affords — secluded, walled, filled with the ambient sound of a nearby waterfall, and overlooked by peacocks drifting in from the adjacent Wallenstein Garden. Couples can choose between a ceremony here, surrounded by the propped remains of the medieval monastery, or a formal church wedding at St. Thomas Church through the hotel's private entrance. A Ballroom and five additional event spaces mean that reception, dinner, and dancing can all unfold within the same extraordinary compound, 101 rooms ensuring that the people who matter most can stay together under one ancient roof.
