The Balthazar Boutique Hotel Krakow on 63 Grodzka Street was created in a beautifully restored tenement house from the 19th century situated at the foot of Wawel. This is a hotel that does not have a matching equivalent in its category.
The delightfully designed and equipped hotel interiors with attention to detail bring to mind New York or London boutique hotels, in which the eclecticism of design, the best materials, a palette of colours and tasteful details create an atmosphere of particular chic and luxury.
The Balthazar Design Hotel is an embodiment of a dream of a truly remarkable place in Kraków coming true – both for those travelling on business as well as those visiting Kraków for its tourist and cultural appeal.
An apparently modest historic town house at Grodzka street, opposite St. Martin’s Church with the Baroque Saints Peter and Paul Church in the vicinity. Today’s building dates back to the 1870s when it took shape following a conversion and an expansion of the oldest utility and gate buildings which in turn can be traced back to the 16th century.
The contemporary, delightfully designed and outstandingly furnished hotel facilities bring to mind boutique hotels in New York and London. An eclectic design, top quality materials, complementary colours and sublime details.
The heart of the city – The Royal Route with the Balthazar Design Hotel where guests are whisked off to an incredible world, with a discernible atmosphere of intimacy and breathing space.

FIORENTINA RESTAURANT
Fiorentina offers what is the essence of European cuisine – the simplicity and joy of composing dishes based on the best ingredients imported from various regions and from local Polish suppliers. The menu card changes 4 times a year.
The restaurant uses the highest quality seasonal products from which you will experience the essence of their flavours. The menu is based on fresh, unprocessed products, without preservatives, dyes and enhancers. Fiorentina has been awarded with the BIB Gourmand in Michelin Guide 2020 – Main Cities of Europe.
The specialty of Fiorentina is the wonderful bistecca alla fiorentina – that is a Florentine steak. The secret of bistecca alla fiorentina lies in the unique way of cutting the meat and its quality. It resembles a T bone steak and always contains a bone with a portion of sirloin on one side and roast beef on the other.
Meat for our bistecca comes from 8-year-old Angus and Hereford cows, it is seasoned for a minimum of 30 days before it can be properly grilled. Bistecca alla fiorentina is always served bloody – to fully enjoy its unique taste.
