PURO Kraków Kazimierz, on Halicka Street, brings a slick contemporary style to the edge of the old Jewish quarter. Its 228 rooms were designed by Conran and Partners as bright, functional spaces with plenty of natural light, smart storage and strong colour, and work by local street artists runs through the public areas. Food is a strong point: Halicka Eatery and Bar serves relaxed modern dishes inspired by the streets of Kazimierz, and the hotel's Mak bakery and cafe bakes its own bread. There is a gym, a sauna and a small spa, and guests can join included daily activities. The hotel stands beside the railway line, but the rooms are notably well soundproofed. Plac Nowy, the synagogues of Szeroka Street and the restaurants of Kazimierz are an easy walk away, and the Old Town is reachable on foot or by tram.
Choosing a room: the standard rooms are compact but cleverly laid out; larger rooms and suites add space for longer stays. Upper floors have better views over the rooftops.
What the stay is like: young, social and design-led, with a buzzy lobby and good coffee. It is a strong mid-range choice for anyone who wants to spend evenings in Kazimierz rather than on the square.
Who it suits: couples, friends and solo travellers who like modern design and good food. Families and travellers who want old-world charm may prefer the Old Town.
