The Monopol Hotel stands on Modrzejewskiej Street, in the Quarter of Four Denominations, and it is one of the most traditional and elegant addresses in Wroclaw. The Market Square and the Town Hall are about four minutes away on foot, the Quarter of Four Denominations begins at the door, and the university is under ten minutes away, so you are in the middle of the historic centre without being in the middle of the tourist crowd. It has 121 air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, in-room safes, 24-hour room service and satellite television, and infant beds are provided free of charge. The facilities are among the most complete in the city: an indoor pool, a spa with sports massage, aromatherapy and facials, a hair salon, a rooftop terrace, a coffee shop and two on-site restaurants. A porter, a concierge, multilingual staff, laundry and dry cleaning, free newspapers and valet parking make the stay feel looked after from arrival to departure. Pets are welcome. The tone is formal and old-world, with classic public rooms and the kind of attentive service you would expect from a hotel with a long history, and it is a very good choice for couples, special occasions and anyone who likes a hotel with real character. The Wroclaw SPA Center is also three minutes away on foot if you want a further treat.
Location and getting around
The Market Square and the Town Hall are about four minutes away on foot, and the University of Wroclaw is around nine minutes. The central station is roughly fifteen minutes on foot, or a short taxi ride, and the airport is about thirty minutes by car. The Quarter of Four Denominations, with its Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Jewish places of worship side by side, is right on the doorstep and makes a lovely morning walk, and the cafes and restaurants of the Old Town are a short stroll in any direction.
The rooms and what to expect
Rooms are classic and comfortable, with a calm, traditional look. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, as are valet parking, the round-trip airport shuttle and babysitting, so compare these extras against your plans when you book. Check-in begins in the early afternoon and check-out is at noon. If you are celebrating something, ask about the room types and whether the rooftop terrace is open when you book.
Who it suits and what to know: the Monopol suits couples, history lovers and travellers who want a refined stay with good service and a spa at the end of the day. It is not a budget choice, and rates rise on summer weekends, during the big festivals and at Christmas and New Year, so check dates when you book. If you prefer a modern, informal atmosphere, the newer chain hotels nearby may suit you better, but for a sense of occasion in the centre of Wroclaw it is hard to beat.
