About the Hotel

Szczepanska 5, Krakow, Poland, 31-011

Hotel Stary, a 5-star modern boutique property, occupies a 14th-century Romanesque townhouse on a cobblestone street in the heart of Kraków's Old Town, with elements remaining from the original building such as restored Gothic beams.

Historic Luxury Accommodations

The rooms at Hotel Stary have been created with sensitivity inside this historic building, featuring parquet floors with red silk draperies and views of the city. Luxury Suites span up to 90 m² with beamed ceilings, raised beds, Renaissance-era frescoes, and bathrooms with bathtub and shower.

Acclaimed Polish Cuisine

The Trzy Rybki restaurant in the basement is acclaimed as one of Kraków's best, serving modern dishes such as lamb with roasted carrots, gooseberries and mint oil. A buffet breakfast includes fruits, ham, cheeses, and hot dishes cooked to order, while the summer restaurant on the rooftop terrace offers alfresco dining with views over the market square.

Medieval Spa Sanctuary

Guests have free access to the on-site spa featuring two mosaic-lined swimming pools carved under medieval vaulting in the cellar. The wellness facilities include a dry sauna, a steam room with aromatherapy, a salt-iodine chamber offering sea air, and a fitness center.

Historic Square Views

Located in the heart of Kraków's Old Town, Hotel Stary overlooks the historic main square. The seasonal Sky Bar on the rooftop terrace offers a view of the Main Market and a picturesque panorama of one of Europe's most beautiful medieval cities.
