There’s always a slight risk of disappointment when booking a stay at a new hotel, even with reviews and recommendations, and once some travellers find a brand they like, many stick with it. Here is our list of all the Kraków properties with international recognition.

Although Kraków is full of high-quality independent places to stay, it’s not always easy to predict in advance what you’re going to get. I stayed in a lovely boutique hotel the last time I was there but unfortunately the bed just wasn’t comfortable. It’s common for frequent travellers to find a hotel chain that fits their preferences just right and to look for that brand whenever they visit a new city. We’ve compiled all the biggest brand names in global hotel chains below and grouped them according to their parent companies. You’ll find Sheraton, Radisson, Hilton and others, including budget options such as ibis.
Marriott International
- Sheraton Grand Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With a fresh renovation to the spacious rooms and one of the best rooftop views in the whole of Kraków, the Sheraton Grand is once more a hotel worth its five stars. - AC Hotel by Marriott Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A smart and comfortable 4-star hotel about half a mile to the east of Kraków’s Old Town. Also has a pool.
Jin Jiang
- Radisson Blu Hotel
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
The location, restaurants and top-class bar mark the Radisson Blu as a luxury hotel, with little 5-star touches in the rooms. - Park Inn by Radisson Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Located south of the river, opposite lively Kazimierz, this hotel will feel familiar to fans of the Park Inn brand. Modern with high service. - Golden Tulip Krakow City Center
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A modern hotel in an attractive building, the Golden Tulip is a smart base for exploring, with impressive breakfasts to start the day. - Golden Tulip Krakow Kazimierz
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A Kazimierz-based 4-star hotel in the heart of one of Kraków’s most vibrant districts. Clean, spacious, and surprisingly quiet for such a busy area. - Metropolo by Golden Tulip Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Less convenient for most tourists, the Metropolo is nevertheless highly-rated for comfort and service and the free parking may make it a good choice for drivers. - Campanile Cracovie
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
The Campanile is a very modern, very clean hotel with strong business facilities, but also sits in an attractive part of Kraków’s Old Town.
Hilton Hotels
- Hilton Garden Inn Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With views of the Vistula River and Wawel Castle, the 4-star Hilton Garden Inn has good business and fitness facilities. - DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow Hotel & Convention Center
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A large hotel with high-standard rooms and most facilities, including spa. The location is a few miles away from the Old Town. - Hampton by Hilton Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Near to the DoubleTree by Hilton (see above), the Hampton by Hilton Kraków offers good service, a solid breakfast, and a fitness suite. - Hampton by Hilton Krakow Airport
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Handy for those arriving or departing from John Paul II International Airport, this functional 3-star hotel is a short walk away, and a 30-minute train journey from the centre of Kraków. - Hilton Garden Inn Krakow Airport
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Ideal for business travellers who want to stay close to the main airport, especially if you have an early or late flight. Clean and well-maintained rooms. - Conrad Hotel
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
To the north-east of Kraków, Hotel Conrad is spacious and comfortable, and a good base for business or families with a car.
Hotel Indigo Kraków – image © Booking.com
InterContinental Hotel Group
- Hotel Indigo Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
In an impressive, historic-looking building, just north of the Old Town, the Indigo is much-loved by guests, and a perfect location for shopping, transport, and sightseeing. - Holiday Inn Krakow City Centre
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A luxury hotel with a corporate feel, just outside the Old Town, the Holiday Inn Kraków is spotlessly clean with very helpful staff.
Accor Group
- Mercure Krakow Stare Miasto
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A 4-star hotel right inside the Old Town, this is a superb choice if you want modern comfort and the romance of traditional Kraków. Good for couples. - Mercure Krakow Fabryczna City
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Out to the east of the city and not so convenient for tourists, this hotel is principally designed as a conference location. As such, the facilities are excellent. - Ibis Kraków Stare Miasto
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Functional 3-star hotel. The location is handy for the train station but otherwise a little soulless. Often good value rooms. - ibis budget Krakow Stare Miasto
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
The cheaper, 1-star option in the same location as the previous hotel. Very much value for money if you are travelling on a budget. - Ibis Krakow Centrum
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Close to the river, west of the Old Town, the hotel is not quite as central as the name suggests. If you’ve stayed in an Ibis, you’ll know what to expect: good, functional value for money. - ibis Styles Kraków Centrum
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
To the north-west of the Old Town and aimed at younger travellers, this hotel has a striking design – half-tech start-up, half-IKEA store. - ibis Styles Kraków East
(View on Booking.com)
The décor is more organic looking than its central counterpart (see above) but its Nowa Huta location is too far away for most travellers. - Bachleda Luxury Hotel Krakow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Five-star luxury just outside the Old Town, this is an opulent, maximalist experience, in a city with a lot of competition. - Novotel Kraków Centrum
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Roughly a mile from the Old Town, Novotel Kraków Centrum is a strong choice for families and offers good value. - Novotel Kraków City West
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A decent family hotel, though the location may be too far from the centre of town for some. The hotel has a pool and other health facilities.
Vienna House Andel’s Cracow – image © Booking.com
Vienna House
- Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Cracow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A clean, modern hotel, close to Kraków Główny train station and the Old Town, Vienna House is particularly good for couples. - Vienna House Easy by Wyndham Cracow
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Functional, 3-star hotel, popular with business travellers, and nearly 2km from the centre of town.
BWH Hotel Group
- Best Western Plus Krakow Old Town
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Amazing location in a rather beautiful building, this hotel has some eye-popping interiors which may not be to everybody’s taste. - Hotel Galicya
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Located in the up-and-coming Podgorze district, and handy for the excellent Oskar Schindler museum, but a little lacking in personality.
Qubus Hotels
- Qubus Hotel Kraków
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Qubus is a large, modern, and fully-featured hotel with a top floor pool and excellent breakfast. A strong mid-priced choice.
