In the wake of the J Winter Fashion Show's spectacle in Paris, Jessica Minh Anh returned to the embrace of her Mandarin Oriental family, this time in the historic heart of Prague. Nestled in the charming Malá Strana district, the Mandarin Oriental Prague stands as a gateway to the city's most celebrated landmarks, offering an oasis of luxury amidst the cobblestone streets.
Upon arrival, Jessica was welcomed with a flourish of Mandarin Oriental's signature hospitality. A grand table, a festive array of balloons, and a sea of flowers set the stage, complemented by chilled champagne, customised cakes, and a gallery of photographs capturing the supermodel's runway triumphs.
Jessica Minh Anh's suite, a seamless blend of historical reverence and modern luxury, paid homage to the building's monastic past. The room's aesthetic—a tapestry of exposed beams, royal blue bedspreads, and silk pillows—was punctuated by velvet armchairs, creating an ambiance of noble comfort.
Mornings at the hotel were a culinary delight. The breakfast spread, a showcase of local produce and artisanal fare, offered the choice of a sumptuous buffet or an à la carte menu, each dish a celebration of flavor and freshness.
The hotel's verdant gardens and towering walls enclose a world apart, where the intricate architecture of a 14th-century Dominican monastery whispers tales of yesteryears. Here, in this serene enclave, Jessica found a tranquil retreat from the vibrant pulse of Prague.
The zenith of Jessica's stay was an indulgent session at the hotel's Europe's Preferred Spa, a sanctuary of wellness cradled within the hallowed walls of a former Renaissance chapel.
Dining at Spices Restaurant was an affair to remember, with a chef-special menu crafted exclusively for Jessica Minh Anh. Each dish was a mosaic of tastes, a culinary journey through the diverse flavors that define the Mandarin Oriental's gastronomic philosophy.
