A lovely concert venue with great music, art nouveau designs, and great restaurants. Be sure to take a guided tour and enjoy a concert in Smetana Hall. More

As other reviewers have said "the building itself is absolutely stunning and definitely merits a visit". We paid 1100 CZ Crowns for a "Gala Performance of the Best of Bizet's Carmen and Ravel's Bolero" in the impressive Smetana Hall. We should have paid more attention to that "Best of" wording. The concert included "ballet" and 3 soloist singers (who were,... More

Stunning building - we went into the lobby but were unfortunately not able to make it into the inside for a concert. More

Visited the coffee lounge twice during our stay in Prague. Real sense of 1920's with lots of wood, chandeliers and good range of drinks, meals and cakes in a beutiful setting. More

The building exterior is lovely, and a must-see for Art Nouveau enthusiasts. It's right off the Namesti Republiky square so it's easy to get to. Try to see a concert here to appreciate its inner beauty. Smetana Hall has beautiful stained glass panels and the ceiling glass is amazing. More

We spent a long time admiring the decoration, tiles, mosaics, gilt work in the public spaces. We didn't get to see the concert hall which was a shame but if there'd been a concert on that evening that we were interested in hearing, we would have gone. We ate in the large cafe which is beautiful. The food is good... More

Very good affordable menu, any time of day. All prices shown, no surprises. Great service. Many of the waiters and waitresses have been there for years and maintain a consistent level of excellent service. Beautiful dining room .... with jazz on many nights. Nice outdoor seating. More

Went to a concert which was reasonablty priced and excellent. The building iteself is magnificent and the concert hall is very well maintained. The most spectacular part of the complex is the restaurant whichc is abosolutely beautiful. It is expensive but not overpriced for the quulity of food and the stunning decor in the dining room. More

The building itself is absolutely stunning and definitely merits a visit. Wish we had paid for the tour rather than the very mediocre concert we attended the evening of May 12. The event was held in one of the downstairs spaces rather than Smetana hall, which was a disappointment, though the acoustics were good. The music itself was typical pop... More
