Eden

Smack bang in the heart of the city’s Jewish quarter, Eden – which is three 15th century tenement houses – offers a little slice of history to go with your city break. Rubbing shoulders with some of the city’s most historical buildings, the hotel itself even made an appearance in the iconic film Schindler’s List.

Make no mistake, though – this part of the city is the place where the historic and the contemporary collide. With quirky independent shops and hipster bars sitting next door to synagogues and museums, this part of town is as diverse as it is interesting. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump from here to the Old Town, too, with Wawel Royal Castle just 12 minutes’ walk from the hotel. For zipping across the rest of the city, meanwhile, your nearest tram stop is an easy five-minute stroll away.

When you’re not too busy soaking up the cultural offering, the hotel’s Finnish sauna might be that extra bit of R&R you need. Or if you really feel like treating yourself, in-room massages can be arranged with the hotel staff – cue total relaxation.

Fill up for a day of seeing the sights at the hotel’s buffet breakfast, or ramble out into the streets in search of your morning coffee. If you’re all about trying the local cuisine, you’ll find some stellar Polish street food right in the Jewish quarter. Prefer a sit-down meal? Krakow’s foodie scene is on the up-and-up, so you’ll spoiled for choice with cosy bistros and haute cuisine restaurants.
