Hotel Stefania

Carpathian Mountains


The handsome dark- and lime-green Stefania occupies a renovated historic spa building topped with picturesque onion domes. The snug rooms, with their large windows illuminating creamy yellow walls, are as warm and inviting as a slice of cream cake. It's on the main drag, just north of the central Park Mieczysława Dukieta.
