Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Kraków
Hotel Copernicus Krakow · Stare MiastoFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Kraków: two 5-star hotels, from 177 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Two luxury hotels in Kraków – and how to choose
The two luxury hotels in Kraków cost 177 € and 196 € a night – only 19 euros apart.
Sheraton Grand Krakow · Nowy ŚwiatAt both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
And at the smaller of the two, the room categories are worth a second look.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The Hotel Copernicus Krakau from 177 € has eight categories. Write out their square metres and you see at once where the decision lies – and where it does not.
18, then twice 30. Then: 38, 39, 39, 40. And at the top 60.
So the four middle categories lie within two square metres. Between them you are not deciding about space – that is practically identical – but about everything else: floor, layout, orientation.
The real steps are elsewhere: from 18 to 30 and from 40 to 60.
Our advice: at this hotel, rather than quoting square metres, tell us what you expect from the room. With four categories of almost identical size, the figure is the least informative criterion – we will ask on your behalf about what actually separates them.
Where to stay in Kraków: Stare Miasto or Nowy Świat
The two best hotels in Kraków sit in two different districts.
In Stare Miasto, the old town, stands the Hotel Copernicus Krakau from 177 € with 8 categories, among them three suites. From one of them you look out at the castle – at Wawel, which sits above the city. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to step out of the door into the centre.
In Nowy Świat stands the Sheraton Grand Krakow from 196 € with 22 categories – the almost three times longer list. Our recommendation for anyone who wants more to choose from.
Our travel advisors know the routes between the two addresses and work them out for your particular occasion.
30 categories: the best hotels in Kraków from the inside
Together the best hotels in Kraków offer 30 categories.
At the Hotel Copernicus Krakau the eight categories range from 18 to 60 square metres. That is more than three times as much between the smallest and the largest – and in between the narrow middle described above.
For the Sheraton Grand Krakow our travel advisors have the square metres confirmed before you book, category by category.
Tell us the square metre figure you do not want to go below.
What a night at a luxury hotel in Kraków costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Kraków costs 177 € or 196 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Copernicus Krakau | 177 € | 1st night |
| Sheraton Grand Krakow | 196 € | 1st night |
How long to stay: three nights. The Rynek and the old town are walked in a day, Kazimierz needs one of its own – and the third belongs to Wawel, which you do not take in on the way past.
At both hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: from May to September, when the evenings run long and the Rynek stays occupied late. Our recommendation for a first visit.
In December the Christmas market stands on the Rynek, right beside the Cloth Hall. Our recommendation for anyone who wants the city in winter.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
At both hotels breakfast for two people and an upgrade subject to availability are included.

• The Hotel Copernicus Krakau brings a welcome gift.
• The Sheraton Grand Krakow brings 50 US dollars of hotel credit for food and drink, a late check-out and points with Marriott Bonvoy.
The credit is explicitly tied to food and drink – so it cannot be set against the bill but wants to be spent on the premises.
Give us your Bonvoy number with the enquiry if you book the Sheraton Grand Krakow.
