Hotel Copernicus, (29 rooms) description: 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.
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.
