Located within the striking Unity Centre near the University of Economics and a short walk from Kraków’s main train station and UNESCO-listed Old Town, Radisson RED Hotel & Apartments Krakow blends contemporary lifestyle with urban convenience. This dual-concept property includes 229 boldly designed rooms and suites alongside 46 extended-stay apartments housed in a separate building. Accommodation ranges from studio rooms to spacious apartments with private terraces, living areas, and kitchenettes, ideal for longer visits. Guests can enjoy classic Italian fare with a local twist at Filini, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant and bar. Facilities include a 300 sqm conference floor with meeting rooms for up to 140 guests, while the property’s position within the mixed-use Unity Centre provides access to shops, restaurants, and green spaces. With key city attractions such as Wawel Castle and Kazimierz’s nightlife nearby, the hotel is perfectly placed for both business and leisure travellers.

This contemporary hotel brand takes full advantage of its marina setting and even guests who don’t have a marina-facing room will find plenty of secluded alcoves where they can soak up the scenery. The rooftop restaurant offers some of the best views in the whole of Gdansk as well as a good selection of tasty dishes and a very extensive beer menu that includes a number of local brews. The décor here is light and fresh with plenty of splashes of colour, while guests are invited to make full use of the onsite spa and wellness centre which includes a steam bath, sauna and gym as well as a comprehensive treatment selection.

This luxurious establishment perfectly combines elements of both old and new as it is located in both a fully restored 18th-century granary as well as an enchanting modern marine-style building. All of the rooms here are extremely stylish and guests can choose between a view of the Old Town or the pretty yacht marina. The most spacious rooms also come complete with their own private seating area and this is a great place to relax and unwind. Beer lovers will also be in their element as the hotel includes its very own brewery and no stay would be complete without allowing the time to sample a glass or two of this award-winning beer.

A funky port warehouse turned boutique hotel with just 30 bedrooms, this Radisson RED is located on Granary Island in the appealing city of Gdansk. Launched in 2022, the first Radisson RED in Poland, it sits beside the Motława River. The decor fuses retro shapes and textures, with masculine urban elements and loft-style original features like exposed brick walls. In addition to standard bedrooms, there are self-catering apartments, split-level family rooms and suites — some with river views and freestanding tubs. The hotel also incorporates the Whiskey in the Jar steakhouse, a bar and a fitness centre.

Interiors by architect Didier Gomez bring a French flair to this central venue, popular with business travellers and couples. Overlooking Warsaw’s oldest public park, it offers a prime location, close to theatres, museums and concert halls. 368 rooms are spread across five floors. And guests can dine at the open kitchen brasserie, or drink in its Victorias Lounge enjoying views of Pilsudski Square. The sultry, moodily lit, mirrored pool is not to be missed – an ideal nook for relaxing after a day’s sightseeing.

For a funky, contemporary experience with a sense of heritage, choose H15 Boutique Hotel. Here, the cutting edge designer rooms are encased by the Neoclassical architecture of the original building. A black and white chequered patio serves as a feature lobby – bold monochrome is somewhat of a theme running through the decor. Fine artist Rita Zimmerman’s vibrant photography in the form of large prints accent the rooms’ walls, along with minimalist framed four-poster beds and Italian furniture pieces. Peep through internal glass walls and dine in the Michelin starred restaurant. H15 Warsaw is a member of the Great Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Having hosted famous musicians, politicians and even royalty, this is arguably the most lauded hotel in the country. A grand exterior gives way to Art Noveau interiors housing an ESPA spa, pool, hammam, Viennese café, the Marconi Restaurant serving national cuisine, a swish cocktail bar with outdoor seating and 206 bedrooms offering Elemis toiletries. Built right at the turn of the 20th century, its public areas exude the kind of opulence that fits the hotel’s location – right beside the Presidential Palace. Upgrade to a suite for a premium experience, including round the clock butler service, antique furnishings and glittering chandeliers adorning the ceilings.
