World Cup 2010 at The Augustine

The Augustine Hotel is welcoming the start of the 2010 Fifa World Cup on Friday the 11th of June 2010  by screening all of of the tournament´s games in the hotel´s Brewery bar. In the monastic surroundings of The Augustine, passionate and excited football fans will have a chance to pray for their team´s victory while sampling Svaty Tomas beer (ancient monastic brew recipe) and snacking on the finest pub food served in Prague.  The “hand of god” served Maradona well in the 1986 Fifa World Cup and now the football supporters of Prague will be able to wish for divine intervention in the monkish surroundings of the award winning The Augustine Hotel.

A prize draw called – ‘Guess the Score´ -is being offered by the hotel throughout the tournament; draws will take place during half time and full time of the matches, offering guests the chance to win a selection of fantastic prizes, including bottles of the Brewery´s own Svaty Tomase Tmave beer, dinner or lunch for 2 at The Augustine´s award-winning restaurant, The Monastery, and a selection of spa treatments from the hotel´s luxurious spa and wellness centre.

The Augustine has created a special food and drinks menu for guests to enjoy during the games, which includes;

The Brewery is a cornerstone of Mala Strana´s historic heritage, now restored by Rocco Forte as a place for residents and people working locally to feel at home. Its atmospheric underground location features original 17th century stalactites and stalagmites, a floating terracotta floor especially laid to protect and highlight the unique surroundings and an authentic underground water source that has been glazed over and incorporated into the bar´s design. In addition, the design of the furniture captures the cubism style of the 1920s and is one of The Augustine´s three luxurious food and beverage outlets, alongside The Monastery restaurant and Tom´s cocktail bar.
