Metropolitan Boutique Hotel

Located in a large 19th century Kazimierz townhouse on a dead-end street, this surprising four-star hotel has been racking up the accolades since opening - including being the top-rated hotel in all of Poland on Tripadvisor two years in a row. Modern and elegant, there are actually four types of rooms to choose from - all of which feature high ceilings, large comfortable beds, lovely antique furnishings, and generally more space than we're used to expecting. The facilities also include parking, two conference rooms, a gym, a lobby bar and the FAB Fusion restaurant with a lovely summer terrace. At first glance, the location seems less than ideal, but it's actually a boon - right next to Kazimierz's tourist attractions, but away from its loud late-night hijinks. Very nice choice indeed.
