Poland’s First Curio Collection by Hilton Debuts in the Heart of Krakow
With a 200‑year‑long legacy in Poland's cultural capital, Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton couples carefully restored historic features with modern design elements.
Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has celebrated the opening of Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton, marking the debut of Curio Collection by Hilton in Poland. Located in the heart of Krakow's Old Town, the 117-room property is well located within walking distance of the city's many art and history museums, as well as Wawel Royal Castle, one of the most historically and culturally significant sites in Poland.
Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton draws on its musical and cultural traditions for the hotel's design. In cooperation with world-famous Krakow-born photographer Ryszard Horowitz, corridors and rooms are decorated with portraits of musicians and composers such as Louis Armstrong, Krzysztof Penderecki, Aretha Franklin, Czesław Niemen and more. Saska Hall, the historic ballroom in which legendary composers Francis Liszt, Johannes Brahms and Ignacy Paderewski performed, has been reopened with frescos restored by hand. As well as designs referencing the hotel's history, among the many modern amenities guests have at their disposal are a swimming pool, spa and fitness centre, as well as a business centre.
The hotel's elegant Regale Bar & Restaurant offers an authentic Polish venue with a modern, international touch. Dishes are prepared with premium quality local ingredients and served with innovative and delightful touches by Roman Pawlik, one of the most renowned chefs in Krakow. His signature dishes include the Onion Tart, with green peas, caramelized onion and Old Giewont cheese mousse, or the specially created "Saski cake" amongst others.
The drinks experience at Regale Bar & Restaurant is elevated by top mixology, signature cocktails such as "Saski Mule" and "Hungarian King", an extensive wine list and local and home-made liquors and vodkas. A bespoke trolley serving tableside cocktails each evening creates a truly special ambience and the further combination of the rich, storied history and musical heritage of the building add to the experience.
Krakow's Old Town is known for its historic churches, interesting museums and Main Market Square, the largest in Europe. With the bustling squares of the Jewish district of Kazimierz and the quiet alleys of the Old Town, Krakow is a key feature of every tourist's trip to Poland and Hotel Saski Krakow, Curio Collection by Hilton provides guests with access to these unique experiences from a location right in the heart of the city.
