REINTRODUCTION OF STRADOM HOUSE, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION BY MARRIOTT, IN KRAKÓW | News
Stradom House, Autograph Collection by Marriott is reintroduced as one of Europe’s most innovative urban spas, marking a new chapter defined by a series of prestigious international awards. The property has been awarded a Michelin Key, retained its Green Key certification for the second consecutive year and received an award in the Gault & Millau Guide, reinforcing its position at the forefront of responsible luxury, design-led hospitality and culinary excellence in Europe.
Housed in a meticulously restored 14th-century monastery between Wawel Castle and the historic Kazimierz district, the hotel introduces a refined expression of urban hospitality, one that seamlessly weaves longevity, holistic well-being and culinary excellence into a unique guest experience. The property features 125 rooms and suites, including the expansive Chapel Loft, along with two full-service restaurants Stradomska 12 and Gaia and Hedwig’s Bar. Hedwig’s Bar, the social hub of the hotel, is known for its extensive cocktail and wine list, in addition to a full menu of food and snacks. Together, these F&B locations define and drive the hotel’s vibrant social and gastronomic identity. Each of the hotel’s dining options anchors its vibrant social and gastronomic identity. The interiors of London-based ADC Atelier (known for its work with Soho House and a signature approach that combines residential warmth with a layered members club-style design) combines historic architecture with contemporary sensibilities, combining original frescoes and vaulted ceilings with a rich material palette, bespoke furnishings and curated vintage pieces inspired by Krakow’s cultural heritage.
At the heart of the experience is SÓL Spa, a holistic wellness destination developed in collaboration with London-based practitioner Alexandra Soveral, whose philosophy of plant-based, intuitive skin care informs the spa treatments, fragrance identity and in-room amenities. Inspired by Poland’s centuries-old salt mining traditions, the spa offers an extensive wellness circuit with a 20-metre indoor pool, infrared and bio saunas, a steam bath, hydromassage experiences and dedicated relaxation areas, in addition to a fully equipped gym. SÓL Spa offers “Soveral Method” facials, developed by Alexandra Soveral, which are rooted in organic bioactive nutrients and advanced manual techniques designed to regenerate, sculpt and repair the skin. These elements create a deeply sensory environment designed to support both physical renewal and mental clarity, positioning Stradom House as one of the most attractive urban wellness retreats in Central Europe.
This commitment to longevity continues in the hotel’s culinary program, positioning gastronomy as the cornerstone of modern wellness. At the helm is Chef Robert Panek, whose approach to contemporary Polish cuisine is helping to redefine the country’s culinary story on a global stage. At Stradomska 12, Panek reinterprets traditional Polish recipes with a refined, modern sensibility, while the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant Gaia and the atmospheric Hedwig’s Club, housed in a former chapel, create a dynamic, multi-layered dining destination that places the hotel at the forefront of Poland’s evolving gastronomy movement. Complementing the offering is the Bakehouse, a casual coffee shop serving freshly baked artisan cookies and specialty coffee, bringing accessible neighborhood energy to the hotel all day long.
Designed for both leisure and business travelers, Stradom House also offers a range of meeting rooms, private event spaces and dedicated work spaces, making it an ideal setting for intimate gatherings, creative workshops and executive retreats. The hotel’s unique atmosphere has already attracted a creative group from around the world, with recent guests including Billie Eilish and Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, further cementing the hotel’s status as one of Europe’s most culturally relevant destinations. Stradom House also functions as a living contemporary gallery, with a dynamic art collection curated by Francesca Gavin that brings together both Polish and international artists, including Wilhelm Sasnal, Agnieszka Polska, Monika Sosnowska, Jakub Julian Ziółkowski and Gideon Rubin. Integrated into the hotel’s public spaces and guest rooms, the collection spans a range of media – from painting and photography to installation – creating an evolving dialogue between local heritage and global contemporary practice. Rather than a static exhibition, the program is conceived as an ongoing platform for artistic expression, reinforcing Stradom House’s role as a cultural center within Krakow’s rapidly emerging creative landscape. Easily accessible from all over Europe and beyond, Krakow continues to develop as a leading cultural and lifestyle destination. The city is served by direct flights from major European hubs including London, Paris, Milan, Rome and Dublin, with non-stop service from Chicago O’Hare and seamless one-stop connections from New York, Los Angeles and other major US gateways, making Stradom House an effortless destination for international travelers.
This season, the hotel is introducing a range of time-sensitive offers designed to encourage longer, more relaxing stays. The Easter Escape package invites guests to experience Krakow during one of its most vibrant cultural moments, combining seasonal programming with the hotel’s wellness and culinary offerings. Additionally, extended stay rates reward guests who choose to stay longer, reinforcing the property’s philosophy that true luxury lies in time, balance and immersion. More than a hotel, Stradom House is intended to be a destination for modern living, where heritage architecture meets progressive design and where wellness, gastronomy and culture come together. Whether you are visiting for restoration, exploration, business or connection, a stay at Stradom House reflects the changing expectations of today’s global traveler – rooted in longevity, defined by design and elevated by hospitality. Stradom House, Autograph Collection by Marriott, is part of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection Hotels – an ensemble of independent, design-focused properties – and participates in Marriott Bonvoy, the company’s globally recognized loyalty program that offers members exclusive benefits, experiences and access to its entire international portfolio.
