Stradom House, Autograph Collection by Marriott is reintroduced this season as one of Europe’s most innovative urban spa resorts, marking a new chapter defined by a series of prestigious international accolades. The property has been awarded a Michelin Key, retained its Green Key certification for the second consecutive year, and received distinction in the Gault & Millau guide, collectively reinforcing its position at the forefront of responsible luxury, design-led hospitality and culinary excellence in Europe.
Set within a meticulously restored, 14th-century monastery in Kraków, Poland, between Wawel Castle and historic Kazimierz district, the hotel introduces a refined expression of urban hospitality, one that seamlessly weaves longevity, holistic wellness and culinary excellence into a singular guest experience.
The property offers 125 rooms and suites, including expansive Chapel Loft, along with two full-service restaurants Stradomska 12 and Gaia, as well as Hedwig’s Bar. Hedwig’s is the hotel’s social centerpiece, known for its extensive cocktail and wine list alongside a full menu of dishes and snacks. Together, these venues define and energize the hotel’s vibrant social and gastronomic identity.
Interiors by ADC Atelier merge historic architecture with contemporary sensibilities, pairing original frescoes and vaulted ceilings with a rich material palette, custom furnishings and curated vintage pieces inspired by Kraków’s cultural heritage.
At the center of the experience is SÓL Spa, a holistic wellness destination developed in partnership with London-based practitioner Alexandra Soveral, whose philosophy of plant-based, intuitive skincare informs the spa’s treatments, scent identity and in-room amenities. Inspired by Poland’s centuries-old salt-mining traditions, the spa offers a comprehensive wellness circuit, including a 65-foot indoor pool, infrared and bio saunas, steam room, hydromassage experiences, and dedicated relaxation spaces, alongside a fully equipped fitness studio.
SÓL Spa offers “Soveral Method” facials, developed by Alexandra Soveral and rooted in organic, bioactive nutrients and advanced manual techniques designed to regenerate, sculpt and restore the skin. These elements create a deeply sensory environment designed to support both physical renewal and mental clarity, positioning Stradom House as one of Central Europe’s most compelling urban wellness retreats.
This commitment to longevity continues through the hotel’s culinary program, where gastronomy is positioned as a cornerstone of modern wellbeing. At the helm is Chef Robert Panek, whose approach to contemporary Polish cuisine is helping redefine the country’s culinary narrative on a global stage.
At Stradomska 12, Panek reinterprets traditional Polish recipes with a refined, modern sensibility, while Mediterranean-inspired Gaia restaurant and atmospheric Hedwig’s Club, set within a former chapel, create a dynamic, multilayered dining destination. Complementing the offering is Bakehouse, a relaxed coffee shop serving freshly baked artisanal cookies and specialty coffee, bringing an accessible, all-day neighborhood energy to the hotel.
Designed to accommodate both leisure and business travelers, Stradom House also offers a series of meeting rooms, private event spaces and dedicated work areas, making it an ideal setting for intimate gatherings, creative workshops and executive retreats. The hotel’s unique atmosphere already attracted a global creative set, with recent guests including Billie Eilish and Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.
Stradom House also functions as a living contemporary gallery, with a dynamic art collection curated by Francesca Gavin that brings together both Polish and international artists, including Wilhelm Sasnal, Agnieszka Polska, Monika Sosnowska, Jakub Julian Ziółkowski and Gideon Rubin. Integrated throughout the hotel’s public spaces and guest areas, the collection spans a range of mediums. Rather than a static display, the program is conceived as an ongoing platform for artistic expression.
This season, the hotel introduces a series of limited-time offers to encourage longer, more restorative stays. Extended stay rates reward guests who choose to linger longer, reinforcing the property’s philosophy that true luxury lies in time, balance and immersion. More than a hotel, Stradom House is conceived as a destination for modern living, where heritage architecture meets forward-thinking design, and where wellness, gastronomy and culture converge.
