Hotel Copernicus

Located in a Renaissance building on beautifully restored Kanonicza Street, the oldest in ancient town of Krakow, the Copernicus takes its name from the Polish astronomer who studied there. It offers a splendid change of scene and is imbued with history and elegance: the vaulted cellars with the sauna, small fitness and swimming pool, the terrace with its panoramic view of Wawel Castle.

Today, the comfort and modernity are apace with the tradition. The testimony of the past epochs coexists with the daring modern solutions. Here, far away from the bustle of the city, our guests can rest in the chimney room among books and ancient prints, and taste more than 200 different wines in the retreat of the medieval wine cellar.

The Hotel has 29 room and suites of the highest standard (air conditioning, jacuzzi, satellite TV, mini-bar) with unique interior decoration.

At every corner our Guests will discover vestiges of ancient times - medieval portals, precious paintings, inscriptions. In the course of the recently completed conservation works, the specialists revealed unique polychromes on the walls, dating from about 1500, and wooden ceilings covered with painted decoration, dating from the 14th century. The preserved fragments include figures of saints, preserved in perfect condition, large excerpts of inscriptions and floral ornaments.

Our guests are invited to enjoy fine meals in our Renaissance restaurant serving dishes according to the traditional recipes used at the court.

From the summer drink bar terrace our guest can enjoy an extraordinary panorama of the City of Krakow - with the majestic Wawel Castle, cupolas and towers of the churches, roofs and stones of the Old Town. During a cloudless night, one can almost touch the starry sky just as Copernicus who had observed it so often.
