Old Town glamour, boutique-hotel intimacy

In the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, Balthazar Design Hotel sets a polished, design-forward mood along the Royal Route, with views toward Wawel Royal Castle. Inside, an intimate lobby pairs a geometric black-and-white marble floor with a lime-green velvet sofa, art-and-design books, and nature murals painted by a local artist. It is relaxed and quietly confident, with space to exhale even in the center of it all.

Couldn’t be happier with our stay at the Balthazar design hotel. The location is perfect and 10/10 interior and rooms. Lovely little touches on arrival and a wonderful team. We were lucky enough to eat in the restaurant and can honestly say it was one of the best steaks we’ve ever had. The breakfast is also 10/10. We will be back to Krakow and will absolutely stay here again.
