Fodor's Expert Review Francuski Orbis Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

The "French" hotel—one of Kraków's oldest and classiest—is just across the street from Czartoryski Museum, where Leonardo Da Vinci's Cecilia Gallerani resides. A sweeping spiral staircase leads up from the large, high-ceiling lobby to rooms decorated in faux fin-de-siècle grandeur. This hotel may not be all new and shiny, but the slight patina only adds to its old-time charm.
