At the Aria Hotel, you’ll find a floor dedicated to opera, another to classical music, and others to jazz and contemporary. The hotel’s music director, Ivana Stehlikova, can advise you on cultural events in the city. The hotel is located near the State Opera House, the National Theater, and the Rudolfinum, home to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. —Laurie Kahle
