Garamond, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
(4 stars)Spend your city break in Krakow beside the Market Square, within walking distance of the city’s highlights, including Lost Souls Alley just 400 metres away. 53 custom-designed bedrooms at the Garamond provide minibars, espresso makers, blackout curtains and 55-inch plasma televisions. Plus there’s an in-house restaurant and a bar. Its decor harks back to the Art Deco era in which the building was first erected and the Garamond’s heritage as the former editorial office of Poland’s foremost daily newspaper. As such it has a very grown-up, sophisticated and glamorous vibe.
