The Podgórze riverside location is incentive to explore another side of town and a nice alternative to the Old Town. The slick modern design includes an eye-catching wall that juts out at an angle from the hotel's façade, and a large, open, Italian-style lobby bar full of palm trees. Air-conditioned rooms come furnished to high standards and feature 26 inch televisions and wi-fi, as well as an ironing board to help with keeping up appearances. Unsurprisingly there’s a heavy business slant to this hotel, with eight conference rooms to pick from, while for after-work moments take timeout in the fitness centre – complete with top floor swimming pool with views stretching over central Kraków. To top it off, from April until the end of October free river cruises for guests depart Tue - Sun every hour from 10:00 - 17:00 from the hotel to the foot of Wawel Castle.
