It may not be the geographical capital, but Krakow will always be the people's capital of Poland. I first came here for a winter break, but the charm of the city quickly got under my skin and I had to see the rest of the country for myself. So, earlier this year, I spent six weeks traveling from Gdansk back to Krakow, stopping off at the big cities and small towns along the way. I’ve now spent over a month exploring each region of the city with my camera and notebook in hand. Krakow is home...It may not be the geographical capital, but Krakow will always be the people's capital of Poland. I first came here for a winter break, but the charm of the city quickly got under my skin and I had to see the rest of the country for myself. So, earlier this year, I spent six weeks traveling from Gdansk back to Krakow, stopping off at the big cities and small towns along the way. I’ve now spent over a month exploring each region of the city with my camera and notebook in hand. Krakow is home to some of the country’s finest restaurants and bars, as well as great attractions, and I’ve visited them all in a bid to share my passion for Poland. There’s also no shortage of top places to stay in the city. From the luxury of Bonerowski Palace to above-water living at The New Port Hotel, here’s my pick of the best hotels in Krakow.
The Bonerowski PalaceThe Bonerowski PalaceRank #1
$94-$464/night

With a rich history dating back to the 14th century, the centrally located Bonerowski Palace is one of the best hotels in Krakow. The 5-star property boasts a wide range of rooms, all of which offer stunning views over Krakow's main Market Square. But my top pick has to be the sprawling, ultra-premium Luxury Suite, which can sleep four.

Hotel amenities include a spa, sauna, and wellness center alongside a coffee shop, business center and valet parking. Downstairs, dine at Amalia Steak&Fish Brasserie, one of the best restaurants in the heart of Krakow. The menu, designed by head chef Piotr Bernacki, combines the traditional flavors of Krakow with a modern European twist.

Just a two-minute walk from Krakow’s central square, the hotel’s location is second to none. Don’t miss the chance to explore the crafts of Sukiennice (Cloth Hall), a 13th-century market packed full of wonderful souvenirs.

Hotel CopernicusHotel CopernicusRank #2

Kanonicza 16

Named after the famous Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, this 5-star hotel is one of the best luxury hotels in Krakow. Located on Kanonicza, the oldest street in the city, Hotel Copernicus offers a unique insight into Krakow’s past.

Choose from standard or deluxe doubles or upgrade to one of the roomy suites. My top pick is the Deluxe Suite with frescoes and views out over the historic street below. The Deluxe Suites, meanwhile, consist of a sitting room, adjoining bedroom and marble-lined bathroom.

Explore one of the many nearby museums—the Palace of Bishop Erasmus Ciolek is my personal favorite—or visit Wawel Castle to learn more about Krakow’s most iconic landmark. The location alone makes this one of the best hotels in Krakow for history lovers.

Bachleda Luxury Hotel Krakow - MGalleryBachleda Luxury Hotel Krakow - MGalleryRank #3

A 5-star hotel just a two-minute walk from the banks of the Vistula River, Bachleda Luxury Hotel Krakow is one of my favorite spots in the city. The suites in particular are so beautifully decorated, with antique wooden furniture and marble bathrooms, you’ll never want to leave.

Take a dip in the indoor pool or play a game of tennis on one of the outdoor courts before enjoying a drink at the stunning bar and lounge. My favorite order is a Wisniowka, a local cherry liqueur. Start your night at nearby restaurant Bonjour Pho for authentic Vietnamese food before heading to Mercy Brown for a cocktail in the 1930s New York speakeasy-style interior.

Warszauer HotelWarszauer HotelRank #4
$141-$599/night
10 Warszauera

Next on my list of the best hotels in Krakow is the Warszauer Hotel, a 4-star gem located in the Kazimierz (Jewish Quarter) region. I love this hotel because it offers a more authentic experience of Krakow than your typical central stay.

The thoughtfully designed rooms feature Scandi-chic touches, with furniture from top design brands including Cassina, Ferm Living and HAY. Breakfast is served in the dining room, a light-filled space that serves fresh ingredients sourced from local farmers and producers. Here, you’ll find a personalized menu with both vegetarians and vegans catered for.

Relax on the shared terrace before heading out to explore the best that Kazimierz has to offer. I recommend stopping by Alchemia for a candle-lit beer or cocktail before making your way to the Okraglak food court for a world-famous zapiekanki (local open-face toasted sandwich).

Hotel H15 Luxury Palace - Destigo HotelsHotel H15 Luxury Palace - Destigo HotelsRank #5
$145-$524/night
Sw Jana 15

Located just a two-minute walk from the iconic St. Florian's Gate, Hotel H15 Luxury Palace is one of the best hotels in Krakow for a central experience. The 5-star property, formerly known as the Lubomirski Palace, blends history, art and architecture in one exquisitely designed package. Prepare to be blown away by the jaw-dropping lobby, with its ornate Baroque era ceiling.

Rooms range from standard doubles to grand suites with crystal chandeliers and original frescoes. Don’t miss the chance to visit the spa and wellness center, where you can book a relaxing treatment or take a swim in the pool located in the basement of the hotel.

Pay a visit to nearby St. Mary's Basilica, not missing the hourly trumpet calls from the watchtower. When it’s time to eat, head back to the hotel’s Michelin-recommended restaurant Artesse to sample its tasting menu, influenced by centuries-old recipes.

Topolowa Residence - Loftaffair CollectionTopolowa Residence - Loftaffair CollectionRank #6

Ul. Topolowa 27

Tucked away in Grzegorzki, the Topolowa Residence is one of the best hotels in Krakow if you want to explore the city on public transport. Just a five-minute walk from the central train station, it’s a fantastic hotel in a relatively unknown area of the city, just outside of the main central square.

The hotel offers a great middle ground between an apartment and a hotel room, blending the two with Studios and Deluxe Studios available. Each room features helpful modern appliances, including dishwashers and microwaves. A 24-hour reception with multi-lingual staff awaits guests and the concierge offers babysitting, useful for young families.

The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the Krakow Opera, an auditorium from the 1950's. I also recommend checking out the Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University and exploring the path less trodden by travelers. It's a wonderful, peaceful place to enjoy a picnic.

Stradom House, Autograph CollectionStradom House, Autograph CollectionRank #7

Stradom House is a 5-star hotel that occupies the handsome street between Kazimierz and Krakow Old Town, and is one of the best hotels in Krakow for those who want to be in the thick of it all.

Part of Mariott’s Autograph Collection, guests can book anything from a Modern King to the Chapel Suite. Aim for a Courtyard View room for the best vistas. Amenities include a large pool, sauna and fitness center, while relaxing on the pool-side recliners before taking a dip is my favorite afternoon activity.

On the ground floor, Hedwig’s—a chic bar that’s among the most stylish in the city—awaits thirsty travelers. Those who’ve worked up an appetite can check out one of two restaurants on the hotel grounds: the Gaia or Stradomska 12. Both are wonderful choices, with Gaia focusing on social dining and Stradomska 12 offering modern Polish cuisine.

New Port HotelNew Port HotelRank #8
$100-$319/night

One of the most interesting stays in the city, the New Port Hotel is nestled in Debniki atop the Vistula River. Guestrooms are modern and feature floor to ceiling windows, to make the most of gorgeous river views. Delightfully spacious, they come equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including coffee machines and minibars. The best have private terraces right on the water.

There’s no restaurant on site, but Forum Przestrzenie, a laid-back food court with live music, is located right next door. Head over for a burger and a boogie—the "Old Timer" served on a brioche bun is one of the most memorable burgers I've ever had. Or cross the river to the Kazimierz district and explore its many delights.

The New Port Hotel is without a doubt one of the best hotels in Krakow for a unique experience on the water.

Puro Kraków KazimierzPuro Kraków KazimierzRank #9
$57-$352/night
ul. Halicka 14a

One of the best hotels in Krakow for exploring the Kazimierz district, Puro offers a 4-star luxury stay with modern design. Opened in 2018, the hotel is furnished by the award-winning Conran & Partners studio, lending the accommodation an eclectic feel.

Check in to one of the 228 rooms—ranging from Doubles and Deluxes to Suites and Executive Suites—before exploring the grounds. The in-house bakery, MAK bread & coffee, is the place to get your daily caffeine fix, while the spacious on-site restaurant, Halicka Eatery & Bar, is a great choice for a drink and a bite to eat.

Take a walk down the Vistula via the nearby footpath and enjoy the blend of activity and calm that only Krakow can offer. Stop by Good Lood for ice cream or Ciastkarnia Vanilla for a slice of cake—their banoffee pie is to die for.

Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by HiltonHotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by HiltonRank #10

Part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, Hotel Saski Krakow may be last on my list, but it remains one of the best hotels in Krakow. Located just outside the central square, you couldn’t ask for a better location from which to explore the city’s sights.

Choose from a whole host of guestrooms, ranging from simple King Courtyard Rooms all the way up to the Paderewski Suite. Take the time to explore the indoor pool, sauna and spa before visiting the restaurant and bar. As with all Hilton properties, expect the highest level of service with a 5-star rating.

Sample the local cherry liqueur at Wisniewski Krakow, just a three-minute walk from the hotel. Or treat yourself to a specialist drink at The Artist Cocktail Bar—the Pear Noir, a creamy bourbon cocktail with a pear-cinnamon puree, is worth the trip alone.
