A late nineteenth-century tenement on ul. Szpitalna, one of the streets threading between Kraków's Planty gardens and the Old Town's medieval core, provides Hotel Indigo Kraków with its Neo-Renaissance shell — sage-green render, white stucco window surrounds with arched pediments on the piano nobile, and a rusticated granite base that anchors the facade firmly in the Austro-Hungarian civic tradition that shaped this part of the city. The building's four floors were converted and extended upward to accommodate 59 rooms, the roofline pushed to create a terrace level that now frames unobstructed views across the surrounding low-rise cityscape. Inside, the design resists any single period register, instead moving between references with deliberate eclecticism — a strategy native to the IHG Indigo brand, which asks each property to embed local character into its interiors. Here that translates into tufted velvet headboards in deep teal set against walls hung with decorative ceramic plates, exposed red-brick structural columns left visible within the guest rooms, and raw board-formed concrete ceilings sitting against sage and cream plasterwork. The restaurant below a glazed rooflight lines its banquette wall with a floor-to-ceiling gallery hang of contemporary illustration and print, the long blue velvet seating running against hexagonal stone-effect floor tiles. On the rooftop terrace, Kartell Masters chairs in white punctuate a space shaded by a ribbed canvas pergola — the medieval spires of Kraków visible just beyond the parapet.

In the heart of the city and next to Florian Gate, the largest gate into the historical city, sits the Hotel Indigo® Krakow - Old Town. Housed in a stunning 19th century building. The hotel design has been inspired by three Polish painters from different centuries and that heritage has been subtly brought into our rooms and our public areas. Old Kleparz market is opposite our hotel and we are walking distance to Krakow's Main Square, St. Mary's Basilica, the Clothes Hall, the main shopping street (Florianska), Wawel Castle and the Jewish district.
