A boutique hotel steps from Kraków's Market Square, with a rooftop bar and an all-night wedding reception.
The Setting
Hotel Stary is at ul. Szczepańska 5 in Kraków's Old Town, just steps from the Market Square. It is a boutique hotel with 53 rooms, which makes it a compact base for a city wedding where guests can walk to dinner, sights and bars.
Eating and drinking are well covered. The 3 Rybki restaurant leads, with the Summer Roof and Sky Bar giving views over the Old Town, plus a cafe and two further bars. There is also a fitness club, with massage on request. It suits couples who want their wedding weekend in a historic city rather than the countryside, with everything on the doorstep and no transfers between events.
The day itself
The hotel publishes a wedding offer in English. The 3 Rybki restaurant prepares a special wedding menu, and guests choose one dish from each course. The reception runs through the night with a buffet of hot and cold dishes, unusual snacks and desserts, plus a wedding cake, and the wine list runs to more than 200 labels. The package starts from 850 PLN per guest, with soft drinks, printed menus and an apartment for the couple included, and the team can put you in touch with a decorator and florist. Ask the team about ceremony spaces, whether the rooftop can be used, guest numbers, legal ceremony options and the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
With 53 rooms, the hotel suits a small to medium group. Wedding guests get 15 to 20 per cent off rooms depending on the date, so ask which rate applies. Larger groups can stay at other Old Town hotels within walking distance. The hotel's website gives directions from Kraków Airport, and the team can help with the transfer. Between events, guests can explore the Old Town and Market Square on foot, then come back to the fitness club or book a massage.
Use the apartment included in the wedding offer for getting ready. It keeps the morning photographs inside a historic Old Town building, a few steps from the Market Square for portraits.
