This compact guide covers the essentials. The best places to establish your temporary accommodation. The restaurants that will serve your purposes best when you need to be memorable. And where you can build relationships with the same ease as people who live there.
For old‑world prestige and flawless service, choose the Four Seasons Prague. Accommodations include outlooks onto the river, private areas of deck or balcony, and a team of helpers with a well‑known level of service. Located in a building that was once a religious house, the Mandarin Oriental provides a peaceful, private atmosphere and meeting areas that include the latest in technical equipment. For contemporary style, the Bohemia Suites and COSMOPOLITAN Hotel provide apartment‑style luxury with co‑working lounges that attract Prague's business elite. The most impressive and effective choice for holding private meetings at a very elevated level is still the Presidential Suite at the Hilton Prague Old Town.
For formal client dinners, reserve the private room at Michelin‑starred La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise. The venue presents a new version of local food that is prepared with very careful accuracy. For views that are particularly memorable, you will need to arrange a table on the external seating at Kampa Park, positioned below the Charles Bridge. The sort of clients who enjoy seeing things made and eating food that combines influences will be satisfied by the open kitchen and the mixed menu that Sansho offers. For power breakfasts or informal lunches, the Art Deco grandeur of Café Imperial and the industrial‑chic Eska in Karlín are perennial favourites.
The rooftop T‑Anker bar offers panoramic views and a crowd of local financiers and entrepreneurs — ideal for evening networking. For quiet, private discussions, the Zinc Lounge at the Four Seasons offers the kind of separation that is associated with membership clubs. Anyone at a conference should go to the Congress Centre's Panorama Bar, where they can have drinks as the sun goes down with other professional people. To incorporate a cultural aspect, book a private box at the National Theatre or the Rudolfinum; being together for an opera or a concert forms a relationship that is larger than a standard professional connection.
The importance of knowing about and observing the professional customs of the Czech Republic cannot be overstated for anyone on a business visit. Punctuality is a fixed and absolute requirement; being late by as little as ten minutes could be read as a very considerable lack of respect. During the initial stage of introductions, it is necessary to use the proper formal titles that relate to academic or professional standing; one example is "Ing.", which is used for people who are engineers. You must also offer a handshake that is secure and firm while retaining direct eye contact throughout. When dining, wait for your host to initiate the toast. You will need to lift your glass, say "Na zdraví", and as you say it you should ensure that your eyes meet the eyes of each person there. And remember that dinner is a leisurely affair, often lasting three hours — business conversation is woven into the meal but typically saved for the later courses. The accepted custom in restaurants is to give a tip of around 10 to 15 per cent. And somewhat less for those who carry luggage and those who drive vehicles. Even though cards are used in most of the more upmarket locations. It is wise to carry some Czech crowns for taxis and smaller venues. For travel between meetings that is both timely and dependable, use a ride‑hailing application such as Uber or Bolt. As Prague's cobblestone streets and unpredictable traffic can make walking deceptive.
