Guests will find themselves enveloped in music in the jewel-like Aria Hotel, which features 52 rooms and suites themed according to the great names and genres of music. The hotel resonates with the sounds of music from the red and gold Music Salon with its wood-burning fireplace, to the sky lit Winter Garden to the soundproof Music Box. In The Music Library, which is overseen by Dr. Irena Stehlikova, with a PhD in musicology, guests can “check out” their favorite CDs and DVDs. In addition, Aria guests and friends have the rare opportunity to take in acclaimed musical performances in the hotel's intimate Screening Room.

Just outside, visitors to this magical city with snow-dusted cobblestone streets will revel in its holiday musical offerings, beginning with Prague's medieval Christmas markets featuring carolers, fragrant gingerbread, and decorative stalls. Outdoor ensemble performances and intimate church concerts vie for music lovers' attention with larger performances through the holiday season. On Christmas Eve, Old Town Square, a short walk from the Aria Hotel, features a mass by the State Opera and National Theater. On New Year's Eve, a program for children is followed by a celebration of music and performances that lasts until 2 a.m. Dr. Stehlikova is on hand to happily steer guests toward any of Prague's musical events.
