Welcome to our wonderful city of Kings - Krakow. It is here, at 6 Królewska Street, that you will find an elegant townhouse from 1923. Its designer was a well-known and respected Krakow architect - Waclaw Krzyzanowski, author of such projects as the Jagiellonian Library, AGH University of Science and Technology and the YMCA building.
Exactly 100 years later, 4 star hotel The Crown Handwritten Collecion opens in this location. From a busy, contemporary street, we enter a world from the beginning of the last century, the interwar period in a new setting.
We have made every effort to revitalize this unique townhouse and breathe a new spirit into it. While maintaining respect for the historic form of the building, we added contemporary elegance, thus combining the past with the present. We took care of every detail and the nobility of the materials, while not forgetting the useful side of the building. The Crown is a unique building that combines the best of modernism and Art Déco. Original finishes, art and storytelling are undeniable assets of the place. We have created for our guests a place of unique character, stylish and cozy, yet full of life and colorful experiences.
