Guests of the Prague hotel will not only enjoy smiling employees, but stunning, unobstructed views of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. They'll also be welcomed by about 3,600 strict standards to which the hotel holds itself. After check-in, a guest's bags must be delivered within seven minutes. Solo diners in the restaurant must be offered a newspaper. Shoes put out in the evening for shining are returned in the morning with a personal thank-you note.

When a reservation is made, note is taken of names and ages of any children. Such attention to detail doesn't come cheap.

The local hotel industry also just came off a banner year of growth. But if Four Seasons is hitting the market at an optimal time, it wasn't intentional.
