  • Dzień dobry, chciałam zamówić apartament na jedną noc. Rozumiem, że teraz możliwe są tylko podróże służbowe. Ja w takiej właśnie będę ale zastanawiam się czy muszę to jakoś udowadniać? Jakiego rodzaju dokument miałabym pokazać. Dziękuję, Ela Iwaszkiewicz-Eggebrecht
    Dzień dobry, po przyjeździe zostanie Pani poproszona o podpisanie oświadczenia o służbowym charakterze Pani pobytu. Oczywiście każde dodatkowe pisemne potwierdzenie (np. od Pani przełożonego) będzie mile widziane. Pozdrawiam, Anna Czerni

Company info

We are the local people, proud of our heritage. We strongly believe that visiting other countries is one of the most opening experience one can get. By knowing this, it makes us especially eager to help our guests, that choose Krakow amongst other beautiful Polish cities, to learn a bit about our history and culture, feel welcome and experience Krakow to the fullest.

Property info

Crystal Suites chez Helena is located in boutique residence built between XIX and XX century, which was for sure a witness of many crucial historical events. Regaining of independence, brutality of II World War, years of communism are just a few worth to mention. What is particularly unique about our location is that it was once a childhood home of Helena (Chaja) Rubinstein, founder of HR cosmetic brand and one of the world’s richest woman during XX century. Each apartment was named after one of Helena’s sister and each one has its own unique feel and design. Tasteful interiors of Crystal Suites chez Helena were background of fashion photoshoots on multiple occasions.

Neighborhood info

Szeroka street is one of the historical centres of Kazimierz, the old Jewish disctrict, which was once a separate town. Three synagogues (Old, Wolf Popper, Remah) are the living proof of these times. Szeroka is also a main base for a week long Jewish Culture Festival, which take place every year in June. Szeroka is filled with traditional polish/jewish restaurants and within 5 minutes walking distance you will find the cultural centre of Kazimierz - Plac Nowy. In the mornings this little square hosts small fruit/vegetable stalls (vintage accessories on weekends), but at night, dozens of cafes and bars gathers all those who want to try famous Krakow's night life. However noises of the night life culture does not affect a quiet Szeroka street. With the guardian in form of the police station just on the other side of the street, guests can sleep tight!
