Karmel is one of the most gorgeous small hotels in Krakow. Located up a stairway in an impossibly cute corner of Kazimierz, the 10-room Karmel is a Krakow favorite.
From the meticulously well-maintained façade to the neatly appointed rooms, there's much to appreciate here. While Karmel is not a luxury property, there's a plain elegance throughout, best exemplified by the high-ceilinged reception area.
What precisely renders Karmel's rooms a cut above many other tourist-class rooms in Krakow? Despite run-of-the-mill faux-antique furnishings—cherry wood desks and armoires and upholstered chairs—Karmel manages to insert enough unexpected twists to save rooms from total anonymity. Where you might expect an Ethan Allen aesthetic, spunky touches like grass-green curtains and bedspreads, bedside benches, and appealing ash blond floors tweak the design palette.
