Located north of Katowice in Siemianowice Śląskie, Diament Vacanza Siemianowice Śląskie is about a 7 minute drive from the Spodek, presuming you have a car. If not, there are certainly worse places you could choose to maroon yourself; in fact here you've got everything you need for sticking out Silesia, including the glorious terrace of the bar-restaurant. The tasteful rooms feature surprisingly handsome furnishings and the entire hotel is done in a vaguely Mediterranean style, meaning lots of potted plants and that sunburnt Tuscany orange colour. Certainly preferable to the Silesian-theme hotels in coastal Italy.
