"...return to the rose home,
   with the sofa and wine,
   where the weather will be fine
   and the memories will come"
                             (A. Osiecka)
 

In the very heart of old Cracow, at thumping with life Cracovians' most beloved street - Floriańska, for ages there has been standing a tenement-house
that bears number 14. Its beautiful neo-classic facade harmoniously goes together with the rhythm of nearby buildings.
It is simply inconceivable that behind the heavy  and monumental door,
like behind a magic gate there hides the oldest in Cracow, quiet and charming hotel "Pod Różą".
The history of the residence goes back to the 14th century . We retrieve more details in the 16th century when Queen Bona's courtier - Italian called Prospero Provano - becomes the owner of the house.
At the end of the 17th century the residence is renovated thoroughly and transformed into a hotel. At the moment it earns significant popularity for years. Its visitors are outstanding personalities:
heads of states, famous composers, authors (Tsar Alexander I),
Persian envoy to Napoleon - Mohamed Riza, Franz Liszt.
We are still laboriously writing the hotel's history and we would like to receive our guests with simplicity and cordiality.
