Hotel Indigo Krakow - Old Town

What Hotel Indigo Krakow - Old Town does

Hotel Indigo Krakow - Old Town is a 56-room luxury boutique hotel located at ul. Filipa 18 in the artistic quarter of Krakow's Old Town, Poland. The property is housed in a historic 1836 tenement building that was comprehensively renovated in 2015-2016 and opened in 2016 as the first Hotel Indigo property in Poland, operating under a franchise from InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). Ownership and original architectural design are held by SAO Sp. z o.o. SKA and WB Finance, who acquired the building in 2014 and preserved original mosaic flooring, tiled stoves, wooden ceiling beams, and sandstone staircase as part of the restoration.

The hotel's product is structured around three art-themed room collections — Matejko, Wyspiański, and Nowosielski — each named after a famous Polish painter and occupying distinct floors with differentiated décor. Core amenities include Filipa 18 Restaurant (a fine-dining venue led by Head Chef Marcin Sołtys, distinguished in the Michelin Guide in 2023 and 2024), a Bistro Bar emphasizing minimal-waste classic cocktails, a seasonal rooftop Sky Bar, an 85 sqm conference facility for up to 60 guests, a 24-hour fitness center and sauna, and a library.

Revenue is generated through room revenue across the three room categories, food-and-beverage sales across multiple outlets, corporate events and conferencing, and ancillary wellness facilities. Distribution runs through IHG's global reservation system and IHG Rewards loyalty program, the property's own website, and third-party OTAs including Booking.com, KAYAK, and TripAdvisor. The customer base spans luxury leisure travelers, business and corporate event clients, and food-and-wine destination diners, with the property marketed via IHG's platform, organic social media, and significant earned-media coverage in outlets such as Vogue Poland, British Airways The Club, and TripAdvisor Travellers Choice.
