Kempinski has taken full ownership of the 101-room Augustine hotel in Prague’s St Thomas monastery, its first acquisition since the Vier Jahreszeiten in Munich in 1970. The hotel, run white-label since 1 April 2026 after leaving Marriott's Luxury Collection, will relaunch as the Kempinski Augustine Hotel, Prague in early 2027, delayed from the late 2026 date announced in April. It remains open and bookable, with a 32 m² Deluxe King priced at 8,640 CZK (about €350) for 12–13 November 2026 at the non-refundable rate without breakfast.
