Pod Roza Krakow 5* —
Set within the walls of Prospero Provano’s Renaissance palace, the Pod Roza Krakow 5* is a hotel steeped in centuries of history.

Today, the building’s noble past lends character and charm to every corridor and courtyard.
Following a complete renovation in 2020, Pod Roza now fuses historic elegance with contemporary luxury, offering a discreet yet richly layered experience in the heart of Krakow’s old town.
