History and timeless elegance
H15 Hotel Francuski is one of Kraków’s most recognizable hotels, with a history dating back to the 19th century. Operating continuously since 1912, the hotel was for many years known as “Pod Globusem,” serving as an important point on the city map and a meeting place for travelers, artists, and Kraków’s elite. The carefully restored building has retained its classic urban character, combining tradition with modern hotel standards.
The hotel is located on Pijarska Street, directly by the Planty Park and just a few minutes’ walk from the Main Market Square. It is one of the most attractive locations in Kraków—right next to the Old Town, yet in a quieter part of the city center.
The interiors of H15 Hotel Francuski are designed in an elegant, timeless style inspired by the classics of European city hotels. A subdued color palette, high-quality materials, and attention to detail create an orderly, representative space that works well for events of a formal and semi-formal character.
The culinary setting is provided by the hotel restaurant, offering a signature menu based on Polish cuisine in a modern interpretation, with clear international inspirations. Dishes are prepared with care for ingredient quality and presentation aesthetics, and menu proposals can be flexibly tailored to the nature of the event.
H15 Hotel Francuski offers 43 rooms and suites, designed in a classic, elegant style, with an emphasis on comfort in the very center of Kraków. The property includes single rooms, Comfort, Premium, and Deluxe double rooms, as well as 4 suites with a separate lounge area. A variety of sizes and layouts allows accommodation to be planned flexibly for both couples and visiting guests, while the cohesive interior aesthetic pairs well with the townhouse’s historic character.
