Afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Prague in the Czech Republic

This post is about afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Prague, the best hotel in Prague.

Coming in from a zero degree afternoon in Prague the other day, living a #Travelife, we decided on the spur of the moment to have afternoon tea in the lovely flower-filled lobby of the hotel.

By the way, this is my favourite hotel in Prague.

It has a great location with views of the river and the castle, and it also has beautiful rooms. 

That’s the chandelier in our bedroom at the Four Seasons Prague…

I especially like the Renaissance-style rooms of the hotel which are decorated in blue and white.

There’s also something to be said about a hotel where all the staff know your name the moment you check in. It makes you feel really at home.

That’s me “at home” in Prague, living a #Travelife…

There are a handful of other hotels like this with fantastic service like this — the Grand Hotel Bordeaux in France, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, with concierge staff who are members of the prestigious Clef D’Ors, is another one.

And, believe me, I’m a very loyal customer to hotels like these. It’s nice to keep returning to a hotel where everyone greets you by name from Day 1.

Talk about great customer service.

Still don’t know how they do it either, but I checked in at about 11 AM a few days ago, and from that moment onwards, I swear everyone from the bellman to the concierge and the lovely ladies and gentlemen in the lobby lounges and restaurant knew who I was.

We dropped our bags and then I put on my winter wear and then we went to walk to the famous bridge of Prague a few minutes away. The doorman greeted me by name as we walked out.

The Four Seasons Prague sure feels like home — no kidding, everyone makes you feel so at home and comfortable. And what a lovely home this is.

Anyway, for a proper Czech afternoon tea after our walk, we had a steaming cups of chocolate in the Four Seasons Prague lobby and all kinds of goodies from a trolley by the piano.

As usual, my eyes traveled faster than my senses so we ended up ordering a little bit of everything as I wanted to try every single cake. There was a delicious and dangerous one that looked like an ordinary chocolate cake, except it was full of liquor.

I ate two slices of these chocolate cakes.

The most unusual one — and my favorite — was a traditional Christmas cake from the Czech Republic with liquor and melty syrup, covered with colourful gum icing.

It was lovely and, again, I ate way more than I should have done, on a beautiful winter afternoon in Prague, living a never-ending, and never-endingly eventful #Travelife.
