Pronounced ‘vrotts-wav,’ the largest city in western Poland is a wonderful place for aimless weekend wanders, famous for its beautiful bridges, vivid nightlife, bubbling markets and neck-craning architecture. Book your stay well in advance at one our favourite hotels in Wroclaw.
Platinum Palace
Hotel
This grand neoclassical mansion, 3mi (5km) south of the city centre, makes its presence felt with ionic columns and rooftop statues. It backs onto the peaceful oaks and plane trees of Park Południowy (South Park), which boasts a pond and a bronze statue of Chopin. The glass-walled apartments of the hotel look straight out onto the trees. Dine like a duke under crystal chandeliers and gilded stucco work, surrounded by marble graces. Then head to the Insomnia bar for a nightcap and cigar.
The Bridge Wroclaw
Chain Hotel
Gleaming marble floors, leather sofas and plate glass are the order of the day in this unashamedly modern block right by the soaring brick cathedral of St John the Baptist. A few steps away, the 19th-century botanical gardens are open April to October for romantic strolls past Monet-esque lily ponds and cascades of roses. Bedrooms are stylishly contemporary and the Craft restaurant wows with industrial decor. The menu offers new twists on trad dishes; order with a a citrus-fresh Riesling from the Gostchorze vineyard.
Grape Hotel & Restaurant
Boutique Hotel
A huge garden, open-all-hours sauna and a wine library are among the attractions of this chateau-style villa near the magnificent Szczytnicki park and Japanese garden. The decor in its 13 individually styled rooms is inspired by celebrated wine regions, from the primary colours of Chianti to the dark terracotta elegance of Rioja. Organic produce and masterchef-perfect presentation define the Grape Restaurant, with its leafy orangery. There’s a tasting menu serving Polish classics alongside a curated wine flight.
Hotel Monopol
Hotel
Wroclaw’s oldest hotel building is a head-turner: a late-19th-century neo-baroque landmark with wrought iron balconies overlooking a stately street in the city centre. Rooms are striking, with steel and brick arches and views of gothic St Dorothea, as well as restored Belle Epoque suites. The mosaic-lined swimming pool, aromatic sauna, steam bath and salt cave are open all day in the basement. Ready to dine? There’s a cafe-bar and sunset-watching summer terraces.
SleepWalker Boutique Suites
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Wroclaw’s historic heart is the many-gabled medieval Old Town, and this characterful hotel is a short stroll through the cobbled lanes from the majestic Rynek (or market square). Embossed wallpaper, velvet button-back sofas and brocade curtains add touches of old-school charm to the rooms and suites while the more modern penthouse, with views from the terrace, goes for a seventies-style retro look – if it sounds stark, believe us you’ll fall for it at first sight.
Aparthotel Bike Up
Boutique Hotel, Apartment
Welcoming up-for-it guests to its trendy spaces since 2018, dog-friendly Bike Up is the new kid on the block. Comfortable minimalism and bright, striking ceilings with a suspended bike and hammock give the good value rooms their quirky signature look. There’s no parking, but the station is very close and the area around the hotel richly repays exploring. A ten-minute stroll past bars and shops brings you to fountains, iconic bronze gnome statues (yes, really!), the city’s fortifications and the Comedy Theatre in the moated old town gardens.

Mleczarnia Hostel
Hotel
Less than 10 minutes from the Market Square, Mleczarnia Hostel charms its guests with a funky, self-possessed send-up to 50s and 60s kitsch. Its decor may remind you of a holiday stay at your grandmother’s (the one with the more colourful past), thus creating a welcoming and home-like atmosphere. Quirky details, sweet knitted tablecloths and velvet-covered chairs make sure that this hostel leaves a fun, vivid impression on its guests.
