The house
AccorConverted vodka distillery
The century-old distillery runs like a self-contained city quarter, surrounding guests with its own vodka museum, craft brewery, and cocktail bars.

Red-brick 1930s distillery buildings restored with an on-site vodka history museum.
Listed
Restored industrial brickwork meets Bauhaus-inspired furnishings and delicate herringbone wood floors.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel makes much of the post-industrial textures of its warehouse-style buildings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Trams outside run straight to Kraków's medieval Old Town and the historic Kazimierz district in less than fifteen minutes.

The rooms
Delicate herringbone wood floors and Bauhaus-inspired furniture give the bedrooms a clean modernist look, accented by mid-century graphic art.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Linear ceiling lights illuminate the full-size indoor lap pool, set beside exposed brick walls and loungers.
Gym and salt cave
Wooden loungers rest inside the illuminated salt cave, and treadmills line the gym's exposed brick walls.
At the table
Destilo serves regional Małopolska dishes from an open kitchen, and Utopia Vodka Bar shakes cocktails beside an antique industrial switchboard.
How it began
State Vodka Factory No. 11 produced spirits on this site from the 1930s until its 2021 transformation into Fabryczna City.
