Diament Arsenal Palace Katowice/Chorzów

In the grand guise of Diament Arsenal Palace Katowice/Chorzów, Chorzów has an exclusive hotel that stacks up against the very best of the entire region. And why not? With Chorzów's high street and the immaculate Silesia Park within stumbling distance and the centre of Katowice only a quick tram ride away, this four-star effort has placed itself perfectly inside and outside the urban tangle at the same time. Handsome hand-crafted furnishings, carpets and wallpaper give the rooms an elegant antiquated style, while the impressive conference facilities (seven different rooms, with the largest holding 800 people) are the best around. Add to that a restaurant, a bar, Turkish bath and full recreation centre (hello, jacuzzi) and suddenly the prospect of a visit to Chorzów is a more than welcome one.
