DoubleTree by Hilton has celebrated the opening of its first hotel in the medieval city of Krakow, Poland, DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow Hotel & Convention Center. The opening also marks the completion of Hilton Worldwide’s only dual-branded property in Poland, joining Hampton by Hilton Krakow which opened in May this year. The dual-branded hotel will be managed by Euro-Hotele Sp. z.o.o. under a franchise agreement with Hilton Worldwide.
The contemporary hotel boasts 232 beautiful guest rooms, including 30 executive rooms and an Executive Lounge, 14 suites and the largest presidential suite in the city, measuring 184 square-meters. Guests can choose to dine in one of two onsite restaurants offering sumptuous Mediterranean and European cuisine or simply unwind after a long day in one of the hotels’ four bars.
John Greenleaf, global head of DoubleTree by Hilton said, “We are excited to be expanding our portfolio in Poland and opening our first hotel in the beautiful city of Krakow. From the warm chocolate chip cookie on arrival to the fantastic service throughout, we know that it is the little things that really make a difference to our guests’ stay and we look forward to bringing a touch of DoubleTree hospitality to Krakow.”
DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow Hotel & Convention Center is conveniently located near the Krakow Arena Hall and the Expo Krakow Fair Trade Center. The hotel also offers a range of shuttle services to the city centre, airport, railway station and key tourism destinations such as the UNESCO World Heritage site Wieliczka Salt Mine, providing a fantastic base for business and leisure travellers alike.
The hotel has 16 flexible meeting spaces available that can accommodate up to 2,000 delegates, including a grand pillarless ballroom, making it an ideal location for a range of events, from business meetings and intimate cocktail receptions to weddings and corporate galas. The hotel also has a car lift which opens out to the conference area and can hold up to 4.5 tons. After a long day, guests can relax and unwind in the hotel’s complimentary fitness center, kick back in the sauna, or enjoy a refreshing dip in the indoor swimming pool.

Krakow is an incredibly vibrant city which is full of culture and history, so we look forward to offering guests a great base to explore everything that the city has to offer.”
