Hotel Stary
Old Town, Szczepańska Street; Kraków, Poland
Hotel Stary places a substantial wellness offering inside one of Kraków's historic central buildings. The address on Szczepańska Street puts the Main Market Square close at hand, while the interiors combine the building's older character with a more contemporary hotel sensibility. Its most memorable facilities lie beneath street level: medieval cellars contain two swimming pools, a gym, a sauna and a salt-iodine chamber. That makes it particularly appealing for travellers who want to alternate museum visits and long walks with time indoors. Dining has its own range, with 3 Rybki on the ground floor and Rybki Nove occupying two levels of the newer section. Accommodation extends from single rooms to larger suites, allowing different kinds of city break without abandoning the central location. Stary earns its place through this combination of historic setting and usable facilities. It suits visitors who want an atmospheric Old Town address with enough depth to enjoy a quiet day at the hotel.
