Krakow, May 12th, 2016 — Sheraton Hotels & Resorts
announced today the designation of Sheraton Krakow
Hotel as Sheraton Grand Krakow welcoming it to
the brand’s new premier tier of hotels recognized for
their enticing destinations, distinguished designs, and
excellence in service and guest experiences. Joining 25
other Sheraton Grand properties worldwide, Sheraton
Grand Krakow is the first Sheraton Grand property
in Poland, ideally located on the bank of Vistula River
and a foot away from the famous Wawel Castle. The
hotel is undergoing a major restoration which will be
completed at the beginning of 2017.
Sheraton Grand is one of many initiatives currently
underway for Sheraton 2020, a comprehensive plan
designed to solidify Sheraton as a leading global hotel
brand of choice, everywhere.
“We are thrilled to build on the brand’s proud heritage
in East and Central Europe by launching our first
Sheraton Grand in Poland” said Michael Wale,

and Middle East. “The Sheraton Grand Krakow
highlights our commitment to the Polish market
where we already have six successful hotels and plan to

Boasting spectacular views over the Vistula River and
Wawel Castle, Sheraton Grand Krakow offers 232
rooms and suites fully renovated. All premium rooms
have been beautifully restored featuring residential
design flexible for work and play. London based
designer Alex Kravetz, has created elegant spaces
with the use of high quality materials and custom
designed furniture. Various textures and furnishings
were composed to create a sophisticated layered
detailing in all elements of the design. The sense of
heritage is expressed through patterns and uniquely
commissioned art pieces by a local artist. Lighting
was also key to the design creating several atmosphere
setting possibilities including making the room
brighter or moodier depending on the time of day.
