Set inside a restored townhouse overlooking the high street the Pietrak has long been considered the best hotel in town, which is why you’ll find political luminaries such as Lech Wałęsa and former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski listed in the guestbook. The feast of facilities includes a fitness club and spa, though if you’re tired of running around then get someone else to do it for you; room service is available at your beck and call. Lodgings feature internet, mini-bar and cable TV and the neo-classical rooms come decorated in swish green and cream colours. Beds go quickly here, so do consider booking in advance.
