Luxury Hotel Cage Match
Where: Prague, Czech Republic

Cute story in the Telegraph this week on the best hotels for a-stayin' in Prague. We always thought of the Four Seasons there as last-resort luxury (i.e., it's the only option for people who are discerning about their toilet paper). It's not as impressive compared to the more laudable Budapest site, but it's still considered number one in Prague. We doubt that will last much longer.
Why? The Mandarin Oriental is opening in Prague next month, that's why. The Four Seasons was pretty untroubled by the Aria, which never had the quality of staff to compete with them, but the Mandarin--located in pleasant part of Mala Strana--will likely knock the Four Seasons off the top of the heap. Suites have three LCD TVs, and all rooms have high-speed internets plus the Mandarin goodies you'd expect. It certainly will be interesting to see what develops.
