The trip from BWI to Prague, via Heathrow was, in a word, horrible, mostly due to a heavy fog over southwest England that delayed our Heathrow to Prague connection several hours and a middle seat on the full plane on that leg. That threw off our van I hired to go from the airport to the hotel by an hour.

Anyway, the Kings Court hotel we chose, and finally arrived at, exhausted, is a magnificent European-style hotel with plenty of extras like free wifi, indoor pool, free use of the executive lounge with food, wine, coffee. The bar is very comfortable and serves good drinks at reasonable prices, and the restaurant has a wide selection of well prepared dishes.
Drinks, dinner and bed followed our arrival in short order, and this AM just before I wrote this entry, breakfast in the gorgeous dining room (outdoor part, since we got down at rush hour.) Breakfast features custom-prepared egg dishes, an orange juice machine that squeezes fresh juice on-demand, a wide selection of breads, cold cuts, salmon. Breakfast also includes champagne and juice mimosas, which it seems many people, but not us, liked to start the day.
