Hotel Kossak
Nowy Świat, Plac Kossaka; Kraków, Poland
Hotel Kossak earns its place through the strength of its setting and the perspective from its rooftop restaurant. On Plac Kossaka near the Vistula, it provides a useful starting point for Wawel, the river boulevards and the Old Town. Café Oranżeria looks across the castle, rooftops and water through a glazed dining room, with an outdoor terrace opening in the warmer part of the year. Accommodation includes family rooms, Castle View Superior rooms and a Royal Panorama Apartment, making it worth choosing deliberately if an outlook matters. The hotel also has conference facilities, so it can serve a working visit without giving up the pleasures of a central Kraków stay. Its scale and straightforward room range should appeal to travellers who value location and a good daily routine. Choose Kossak for a practical city base with a rooftop that gives breakfast, lunch or dinner a strong visual connection to the surrounding city.
