Stradom House
Design-led luxury in a medieval convent shell. Art deco meets Polish modernism. Intimate but grand, historic without being stuffy.
Ask for a courtyard-facing room if tram noise is a concern — they're quieter and some have private patios.
Why It Matters
A Michelin Key award-holder and Green Key certified, Stradom House is widely regarded as the finest hotel in Krakow. The converted Baroque chapel bar (Hedwig's, complete with a 500-kilogram chandelier) and the Alexandra Soveral spa collaboration are genuinely one-of-a-kind in Poland. The Chapel Loft — at 155 sqm with its own piano, vinyl record player, and a bathtub with a window overlooking Wawel Castle's rooftops — is the most exclusive hotel suite in the city.
Stradom House sits in a 14th-century building on the strip between Wawel Royal Castle and the Kazimierz Jewish Quarter — a building with roots going back to a church and monastery, with a desacralized Baroque chapel now serving as one of the city's best bars. It was designed by key figures behind Soho House and it shows: the feel is art-deco-meets-Polish-modernism, with curved stone ceilings, muted tones, and over 70 contemporary artworks by names like Wilhelm Sasnal and Jonas Wood. At 125 rooms, it's larger than it feels, but the intimacy is real. Rooms carry baby blue and coral palettes with vintage Roberts radios on bedside tables, while the spa — named SÓL (salt in Polish) — runs on Alexandra Soveral of London's exclusive treatments, available nowhere else in Poland.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Chapel Loft
The most exclusive suite in Krakow, full stop. Perched above the former chapel, this 155 sqm open-plan loft has a living room with kitchenette, 2 bathrooms (one with a floor-level bathtub and a window directly overlooking Wawel Castle's rooftops), a bedroom with walk-in closet, a grand piano, vinyl record player, PlayStation, a dining table for 10, and walls hung with pieces from the Stradom House Art Collection. Time Out called it 'spectacular.' Priced upwards of £1,000 per night.
King · 155 sqmChapel Suite
Located in the space of a former chapel, the Chapel Suite has historic architectural details — ornate ceilings, exposed original elements — harmoniously paired with contemporary design. Spacious bathroom with bathtub and carefully curated artworks from the hotel's collection.
King
Heritage Grand King
The largest of the Heritage room tier at 29-35 sqm. A king bed, sofa, and the same curated art deco style. Spacious by Krakow Old Town standards. Reviews frequently praise this category for feeling like good value even at premium prices.
King · 32 sqmHeritage Grand Twin
Larger Heritage rooms, ranging 29-34 sqm, offering more breathing room while keeping the same heritage-inspired palette and vintage furnishings. Good pick for two travellers who want separate beds with a bit more space.
Twin or Double · 31 sqmHeritage King
Heritage King rooms run 22-30 sqm with a king-size bed at centre stage and a sofa at its foot. The design mirrors the Heritage Twin — vintage warmth with modern comfort underneath. Same marble bathrooms and Soveral toiletries.
King · 26 sqmHeritage Twin
Entry-level Heritage rooms carry the hotel's signature art deco look — baby blue and coral palette, upholstered vintage armchair, Roberts radio on the bedside table, and a 1920s-style marble bathroom with walk-in shower. Compact but well-crafted. Views are either street-facing (with tram noise potential) or onto a quiet courtyard.
Twin or Double · 27 sqmModern Grand King
32 sqm in the modern wing. A good upgrade from the standard Modern King — more floor space, same contemporary style.
King · 32 sqmModern Grand Twin
At 34 sqm, the Modern Grand Twin is among the more generous standard room options. Located in the newer wing with its own calm character.
Twin or Double · 34 sqmModern King
Modern Kings run 22-29 sqm in the newer section of the building. Same quality fittings as Heritage — minibar, coffee machine, marble bathroom — but with a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic.
King · 25 sqmModern Twin
The Modern rooms are in a newer wing of the hotel, which guests access via an unusual internal walkway — quirky but you get used to it, and the payoff is quieter surroundings. Contemporary design inspired by early 20th-century style rather than the vintage-heavy Heritage look.
