Hotel Altus Palace is a boutique hotel at Wierzbowa 15, in the centre of Wroclaw between the Market Square and the central station. With only 81 rooms it feels much more personal than the large chain hotels, and the building offers a surprising amount of wellness for its size: a swimming pool, a hot tub, a steam room, massage and treatment rooms and a fitness centre that is open around the clock. The restaurant on the ground floor serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with an international menu and a children's menu, so families can eat in comfortably. Rooms are air-conditioned and heated, with free Wi-Fi, an in-room safe, an electric kettle, a hairdryer, free toiletries, hypoallergenic bedding and a large television, and the hotel can provide cribs for infants free of charge. A porter, an elevator, a ballroom and three meeting rooms mean the hotel can host weddings and business events, so it can be busier at weekends. Pets are welcome for a fee. The spirit of the place is quiet and polished, with tasteful interiors and staff who take time over the details, and it is a good choice for couples, anniversaries and anyone who wants to combine sightseeing with a proper spa break. The Wroclaw SPA Centre is also just a minute away on foot.
Location and getting around
The Quarter of Four Denominations is about five minutes away on foot, the Market Square and the City Hall about nine, and the University of Wroclaw about twelve. The central station is roughly ten minutes on foot, so arriving by train is easy, and the airport is about half an hour by car. The shops and restaurants of the centre are all within a short walk, and the streets around the hotel are calmer than the Market Square itself.
The rooms and what to expect
Rooms are comfortable and well finished, in a calm, elegant style. A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge, as are valet parking and the airport shuttle, which can be arranged on request. Check-in begins in the afternoon, with late check-in available for a limited time, and check-out is at noon. If you plan to use the pool and spa, ask about opening hours and any booking rules when you book.
Who it suits and what to know: Altus Palace suits couples, small families, spa-minded travellers and anyone who prefers a boutique hotel over a big chain. It is not a budget option, and rates rise on summer weekends, during the big festivals and at Christmas and New Year, so check dates when you book.
