Hotel Stary on Szczepańska 5 is a five-star boutique address in a historic townhouse a few steps from the Main Square. After a major renovation in the mid-2000s, the property combines heritage architecture with a modern standard and attracts both leisure stays and discreet business visits.

The transfer from KRK usually takes 30-45 minutes. The common route uses the A4 motorway, then Armii Krajowej Avenue, Piłsudskiego Street and a final Old Town approach adjusted to the current access rules. At this hotel, the last part of the route is the key operational element.

Szczepańska lies inside the historic centre where vehicle access is regulated and requires familiarity with legal approach points and short-stop rules. Pickup from the airport is handled as meet and greet with a name board, live flight tracking and luggage assistance, after which we bring you as close as possible to the hotel entrance.

If direct access is temporarily affected by pedestrian flow or city-centre organisation, we stop at the nearest legal point and assist with the luggage over the final cobbled section. Hotel Stary is often selected by couples, anniversary guests and travellers who want a calm check-in without searching for taxis around the Main Square.

On request we coordinate the arrival moment with reception or concierge, which helps with luggage handling and smooth check-in. If you travel with children, a child seat or booster is prepared. For guests with several suitcases or formalwear luggage, we assign a vehicle with an appropriately sized boot.

The fare includes 60 minutes of waiting after landing, bottled water, flight tracking, luggage assistance and the operational handling required for access around the Old Town zone. We also organise return transfers to the airport at dawn, when precise departure timing from the centre and avoidance of early-morning delivery traffic matter.

Payment is completed online by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or BLIK. Cash is not accepted.

Hotel Stary - the flagship address of the Likus Hotels & Restaurants group - is popular with couples celebrating occasions (anniversaries, engagements), guests with wedding ceremonies at the Krakow Opera or Krzysztofory Palace, and boutique connoisseurs drawn to the in-house Trzy Rybki restaurant.

After the airport transfer we offer full-day hourly dispatch with Mercedes S-Class or V-Class for excursions to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Wieliczka Salt Mine, Ojców National Park, Zakopane and the castles at Pieskowa Skała and Niedzica.

In the evening we transport guests to Krakow restaurants - Pod Aniołami, Wierzynek, Resto Illuminati, Cyrano de Bergerac - or to the Krakow Philharmonic and Krakow Opera, with the chauffeur waiting and returning to the hotel driveway.

For premium guests we also coordinate private visits to Wawel Castle, the Cloth Hall and the Czartoryski Museum with a dedicated guide.
