Visit Prague's secret rooftop jacuzzi and spa for treatments, bubbles, and views

No matter how long you have lived in Prague, there is always something slightly magical about witnessing the city in an unguarded, behind-the-scenes moment. And there is nothing quite as behind-the-scenes or magical as a rooftop jacuzzi dip in the middle of Old Town.  

The storybook setting unfolds before your eyes. You’ve seen it before, hundreds of times, but never from this angle: slanted, tiled rooftops, a hidden courtyard, a hint of awe floating on the air. 

You pop the cork of the top-grade prosecco chilling in the bucket next to the hot tub and fill a frosted flute glass: Prague Castle, Petřín Hill, the gothic spires of the Týn Church, and other striking landmarks are playing peek-a-boo with red-brick chimneys.    

This quiet, two-decker terrace is your own private oasis, and you close your eyes as the jacuzzi jets work to relax the tense, tired muscles in your neck, back, legs, and feet. It feels like you’ve stumbled upon a delicious little secret. 

You can happily inhabit this delightful world – at least for a bit – every time you visit The M Spa, the Emblem Hotel’s exclusive haven of tranquility. 

While its rooftop jacuzzi is undoubtedly a big draw – not to mention the perfect summer sendoff – this luxury lifestyle hotel, a mere five-minute walk from Staroměstské náměstí, has a wide range of premium wellness and spa treatments to choose from. In fact, it is one of the few places in Prague offering a comprehensive day spa that caters to both travelers and locals seven days a week.  

The Emblem is on a mission to create a community in the very heart of the city where like-minded people can come together, relax and pamper themselves with a wellness day pass.

Come recharge your batteries after the summer holidays at The M Spa. From its popular steam room, sauna, and Kneipp path to more unique offers like a beautiful facial treatment with Czech caviar masks and exclusive ointments from the French Alps, spa staff can help you to find the best way to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

Spend a well-deserved day in tranquility. Book one of The M Spa’s signature massages. Busy professionals can take advantage of a quick one-hour lunch massage, while those looking for something a little more in-depth might want to indulge in the spa’s “Top-to-Toe for Him or Her” treatment. The three-hour therapy combines a massage with a facial and peeling. 

“Comme La Neige” – a speciality of The M Spa – is another great choice for those needing to release built-up tension and stress, starting with a full-body exfoliation followed by a warm hydrating body wrap and a gentle face and scalp massage. The top-selling Candle Massage will also leave dehydrated skin feeling nourished, silky and refreshed.  

The M Spa exclusively uses Pure Altitude products with all its treatments, an extraordinary line of cosmetics with ingredients from the French Alps that have remarkable remedial and restorative properties. The complete range of these skincare products – offering purity, power and perfection – can be purchased at the spa’s reception, allowing you to continue treating yourself with top-of-the-line body scrubs and oils at home. 

There is no time like the present to invest in your wellbeing and relaxation, which is why The M Spa offers day (or annual) passes that grant you access to its wellness area, relaxation room and private terrace any day of the year. The spa is also equipped with a 24-hour fitness room. 

Follow your treatment with lunch, dinner or a drink at the hotel’s state-of-the-art restaurant and bar, George Prime Steak, a quintessential American-style steakhouse which also serves fresh seafood dishes and seasonal chef specialities. The bar has an extensive collection of California wines and handcrafted classic cocktails on the menu. 

Out-of towners seeking a complete wellness-and-relaxation deal that’s conveniently just steps from many of Prague’s main attractions will definitely want to look into The Emblem’s Package Stay option.   

The hotel offers 59 rooms, including four junior suites and three luxury suites. In addition to The M Spa, guests can also enjoy a chill-out lounge with several “living spaces.” The M Lounge, the hotel’s de facto “living room,” is a place where guests and locals can work, lounge, drink, chat and play. The set up includes The Pantry (also known as The Kitchen), The Salon, The Games Room, and The Drawing Room.

From wellness and relaxation treatments to cozy suites, fine dining and plenty of space to frolic: Come explore everything The Emblem has to offer – your home away from home.
