Hotel Copernicus

Palatial hotel rich with history
Talk of the town: Karol Wojtyła, the future Pope John Paul II, lived on Kanonicza from 1951-1963. His home at numbers 19 and 21 is now a museum.

Located on one of Krakow's – and Europe's - most picturesque streets, the Hotel Copernicus inhabits the site of a Renaissance palace. Laying derelict for years, it was returned to its original grandeur by the Likus luxury hotel group (who also own Hotel Stary).
The building dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries, and many original features - murals, beamed ceilings, stone windows – can be found throughout the hotel. As you might expect, the 29 rooms are the last word in comfort, decorated in fittingly grand style. An excellent restaurant serves top-end modern European cuisine, or you could always take advantage of the round-the-clock room service.
