Best Hotels in Kraków (2026)

Most visitors stay in the Old Town, Kazimierz or along the river near Wawel, all within walking distance of the main sights. The Old Town has the widest choice of historic hotels. Hotel Copernicus on Kanonicza Street, a Relais & Châteaux member below Wawel, Hotel Stary near the Main Market Square and Hotel Pod Różą on Floriańska Street are the leading five-star options, each in a centuries-old building with a spa in medieval cellars. Hotel Wawel on Poselska Street offers three-star comfort and Art Nouveau details at a lower price.

On the Vistula, the Sheraton Grand Kraków has 230 rooms, an indoor pool and views of Wawel. Kazimierz suits travellers who want restaurants and nightlife on the doorstep: PURO Kraków Kazimierz is a modern design hotel with its own bakery café, and Hotel Rubinstein occupies a historic tenement on Szeroka Street. For a budget stay, Greg & Tom Beer House Hostel on Floriańska includes free breakfast and dinner. Book early for summer weekends and December, when the best-located rooms fill first.
