Where to stay in Wroclaw for luxury in the cultural capital

Voted a European capital of culture for 2016, we have pulled together a selection of the finest hotels in Wroclaw for a luxury stay.

The largest city in the west of Poland, Wroclaw is considered a more manageable version of Krakow, with a melting pot of influence from Austrian, Prussian and Bohemian culture.

As a result, the architecture and entertainment forms an interesting contrast and Rynek Square is the perfect place to witness the cultural blend in action.

Fun for all the family, look out for quirky dwarf statues hidden around the city. Each one was created to tell a story, as a way of representing the anti-communist movement.

Elsewhere around the city, the Old Town is a great base for a walking tour, with plenty of restaurants and cafés to enjoy.

Here we feature a selection of hotels which are a good base to explore Wroclaw, they range from independent boutique finds to high-end luxury.
