The Luxury Collection proudly announces the debut of H15 Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Krakow, following a thoughtful transformation that breathes new life into one of the city’s most treasured architectural jewels dating back to the 17th century. Nestled in the historic Lubomirski Palace at 15 Świętego Jana Street—just 200 meters from Krakow’s iconic Main Market Square—the hotel marks the brand’s entrance in Krakow and its second property in Poland. The hotel is operated by Dobry Hotel Group, a leading hospitality operator in the country.

Steeped in history and artistry, H15 Palace offers a captivating blend of heritage and contemporary elegance. The interiors—both residential and public—seamlessly combine restored original features with refined modern materials. Bathrooms are adorned with a variety of high-quality marbles, while custom-designed contemporary furnishings provide a contrast to the building’s historic character.

The hotel’s suites celebrate Polish aristocratic legacy, featuring original XVIII and XIX century Gdańsk and Dutch wardrobes, porcelain-tiled stoves, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, and portraits of the Lubomirski and Czartoryski families. Antique paintings sourced from private collections add to the cultural richness, while polychrome ceilings uncovered during the restoration offer a glimpse into the building’s artistic past. Contemporary works and abstract installations by artist Ivo Nikić further enrich the visual narrative, creating a dialogue between eras. This harmonious fusion of styles, techniques, and time periods results in a truly one-of-a-kind destination where history and modernity coexist in perfect balance.

Guests are welcomed into 70 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, each designed to reflect the spirit of Krakow while offering the comforts of modern luxury. The hotel’s culinary centerpiece, Artesse by Juan Luis Fernández, has earned Michelin recommendations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The menu artfully blends the finest traditions of Polish cuisine with contemporary culinary trends, complemented by a curated wine list that includes selections from local vineyards.

The Hours Bistro invites guests to linger late into the evening in an intimate setting, enjoying cocktails and regional fare. During the summer months, the hotel’s serene courtyard garden offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the city. The hotel will also introduce signature programs of The Luxury Collection brand: Destination Discovery and Epicurean Moments, the latter showcasing the flavors of Kraków. Both are designed to immerse guests in the city’s rich local traditions.
