The Hotels in the center
of
Dinitz – **** It is a nice hotel, very close to the Jewish
quarter, which is the only kosher hotel. They also have a dairy restaurant.
InterContinental ***** (has
magnetic cards for the doors instead of keys, and an electronic door at the
main entrance that opens when you come near it, which is a Problem for Shabbat,
but they are aware of that problem, and someone is standing next to the door
during Shabbat and accompanies Jewish people to their room)
Salvator ***
except hotels, it is
very recommended to rent an apartment in the Jewish quarter. It is much
cheaper, and very convenient.
Here are some people
that rent apartments. Make sure the apartment is in the Jewish quarter!

Another
restaurant in Prague is the King Solomon. It
is very close to the Jewish community. The restaurant is expensive and
exclusive. They claim that the meat is Glatt, but other products are in
regular Kashrut, and they are surely not kosher lamehadrin at the level expected
in Israel. They don't have a Hecsher from the Chief Rabbinat of Prague, but of
a private organization that they founded.
