Good
Hotels
in Krakow, Poland. A Lodging Guide.
Krakow’s
hotels fall into every category and price bracket. At the high end of
the market one may choose between the five-star cosmopolitan premises
of well-known international chains on the one hand and posh hotels in
the city’s Old Town historic center on the other. All offer
excellent service, and the former top it with abundant parking space
for motorists and ample conference facilities for
business visitors as
well as such amenities as indoor swimming pools or even a casino; while the latter grant the easiest access to Krakow’s
attractions and unforgettable ambience. Actually, many a Krakow hotel in
the Old Town area, also inexpensive ones, operate in buildings of
considerable historical and/or architectural value, some were once
aristocratic palaces, and a few pride themselves on their
centuries-old hotelier traditions.

city's new hotels.

recent years new hotel facilities in Krakow opened almost by the

And several more are under construction now. Also converting old
tenement buildings into cozy hotels in Krakow's historic center is

Krakow hotels keep on upgrading fast.

five-star accommodations (the highest standard). In order to get its

each class. Yet the Polish hotel categories don’t necessary fit
those in your country, e.g. some five-star Krakow hotels can boast
indoor swimming pools and some lack that luxury. Also, there are
guest houses or hostels that advertise themselves as hotels although
they haven't been licensed as such and don't comply with Poland's
hotel standards.

mark, no matter if they run the establishments directly or entrust the
job to Polish franchise holders. At the same time local hoteliers in
Krakow often best the competition.
