What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Bachleda Luxury Hotel occupies a 19th-century building in a prominent location just outside the Old Town, and its interiors display the influence of multiple eras.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto Plac Kossaka. Wawel Castle and the Vistula riverbank are both a short walk away.
The rooms
Bedrooms have sculpted velvet headboards and tall gilt mirrors. Executive Suites look out across the Vistula River.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A golden mosaic wall rises over the heated relaxation pool, which connects to a dry Finnish sauna and caldarium.
Gavi Restaurant
Dressed tables and blue velvet chairs sit beside a gilded fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar.
At the table
Downstairs beneath historic brick vaults, Opus Lounge Bar pours aged whiskies among leather armchairs and library shelves.
How it began
The building was once Willa Medyńskich, a 19th-century villa where Krakow's artists and intellectuals gathered.
