Renowned as one of the city’s leading hotels, this ‘old dame’ of a hotel dates back to 1912 and was thoroughly refurbished in the nineties. Its impressive stairwell leads up to bedrooms decorated in plush period furnishings that sit neatly alongside modern facilities and the hotel’s restaurant serving a mixture of Polish and European cuisine. Location wise, the Francuski sits just opposite the Czartoryski Museum, close to the old city walls and just a few minutes walk to the heart of Krakow’s Main Market Square. 42 rooms.
