Luxury accommodation is where Kraków really comes into its own. With incomparable views of the Old Town and Market Square, these hotels make for a truly memorable vacation.
Hotel Stary
Kraków is a city where luxury accommodation really comes into its own. The heart of the Old Town offers a world-class backdrop for regal town houses with plush interiors, and views of castles, ramparts and the Renaissance Market Square. Not all these hotels are in the centre of town but all will bring some excellent Polish service into the mix.
In this class, rates really will vary according to season, demand, and location. Prices are highest in the summer (late June to the end of September) and around Easter and Christmas, when you could end up paying 940PLN for Hotel Stary (€205 | US$238 | £175) and as much as 1,300PLN for Hotel Copernus (€284 | US$330 | £242) per night for a twin or double room. However, you can get some real bargains if you book early enough. Costs might drop to 800PLN (€174 | US$203 | £149) per night for Hotel Copernicus at other times of the year. Exchange rates are as of October 2021.
