Św. Gertrudy 26-29 , 31-048 Krakow Centre->Old Town->Around Wawel Castle (view map)

The Royal Hotel sits regally at the foot of the Planty - the green belt that encircles the medieval city centre - and bang opposite Wawel Castle. The Jewish area of Kazimierz is also just a ten minute walk away, and it's only a five minute saunter to the atmospheric main market square. The main bus and train terminals should take just a few minutes by taxi.
The Royal was built in 1898 and still has its original Art Nouveau facade. Inside there are glimmers of its past secreted around from the art deco banister lights to the imposing, carved archways over the bedroom doors. There are two wings - one has been totally renovated and has beautifully styled deluxe rooms. These feature parquet floorboards, emerald upholstery, gold patterned wallpaper and modern luxurious bathrooms. Weaving along a myriad of corridors in the other wing, rooms are more dated, with thick carpets, heavy bedsteads and chunky large furniture. Parts of the hotel, such as some of the hall carpets, are looking a little past their sell by date. One of our guests sums the Royal up as "its glories are faded but (it) still has charm".
