The hotel’s operation company The Rocco Forte Collection, project developer Raiffeisen Evolution and Owner Waldeck Capital LLC are delighted to announce their nomination celebrating the challenge of restoring more than 800 years of art and architecture in creating The Augustine, in line with rigorous guidelines set out by the Czech conservation authorities.

The seven buildings, all dating to different eras (and including the 13th century Augustinian monastery of St Thomas), with distinct structures and built from diverse materials on various levels, had to be integrated into a seamless blend of old and new, while remaining true to their heritage.

To provide an idea of the complexity of the buildings and the innovative approach required to construct a hotel around the monastery’s historic highlights, no two guest rooms out of the 101 inventory are the same and no less than four differently placed passenger lifts were required to allow simple, short access for every guest.

With The Augustine located in the heart of Prague, in the Lesser Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the hotel plays an important part in the area’s living history, ensuring the future of these stunning buildings alongside that of its former inhabitants – the monks, who still live and practise in part of the monastery.

The world’s largest property forum, MIPIM (Marché International des Professionels d’Immobilier) takes place annually in Cannes, bringing together industry decision makers from around the globe and providing them with an opportunity to meet, network and showcase their latest developments – in one place, to one hugely influential audience.

Around 20,000 delegates are expected to attend this year’s MIPIM and it is these real estate professionals who will decide which developments take home the coveted MIPIM awards. MIPIM is being held over four days (16th to 19th March inclusive), with the MIPIM awards being presented at an Awards Ceremony on the evening of Thursday 18th March.

The Augustine situated in the historical lesser town of Prague (known as Malá Strana), close to the famous Charles Bridge, just below Prague Castle and next door to Wallenstein Gardens. This spectacular 101-room luxury hotel has been created from a complex of seven historic buildings, including a former brewery and the 13th century Augustinian St Thomas Monastery, after which the hotel is named.

The monastery provides the hotel with a picturesque setting of established courtyards and elegant garden squares, while retaining certain areas for the practising Augustinian friars who remain in situ.

Key historic features such as cloistered terraces, wooden ceilings, stalactites and stalagmites, and stone arches have been incorporated into the hotel’s design.
