About the Aparthotel

Everything here is polished and comfortable

A place in the heart of Zakopane to hide away, immerse yourself in peace and comfort without sensory distractions.

When my husband and I decided to breathe new life into the deteriorating building on Independence Square, I decided that nothing here would be done in haste. That is why the shape of Aparthotel Cristina matured very slowly. I had to be sure that – before inviting you to relax in my hometown – the atmosphere and decor would foster a feeling of all-encompassing bliss. That it would be a luxurious and intimate place. Perfected in the smallest details. With the best possible cuisine. A place that stays in memory for a long time.

Aparthotel Cristina is an intimate facility in the center of Zakopane, located just a few steps from Krupówki and the City Park. Guests can enjoy 19 elegant apartments, a SPA zone available exclusively to guests, and two renowned restaurants – Drukarnia Smaku Cristina and Cristina Ristorante & Pizzeria. Guests choose this place for its peaceful atmosphere, privacy, views of the Tatras, and location that allows combining relaxation close to nature with the attractions of downtown Zakopane.

I invite you on a short journey through the history and interiors of Aparthotel Cristina. See you soon!

Three interior styles

The interiors of Aparthotel Cristina were finished without haste. Sculptors' chisels adorned oak furniture, embroidery covered headboards, and hand-painted designs wrapped around tiled fireplaces. This is how interiors in Alpine, Highlander, and classic styles were created.

Each apartment was designed with comfort, peaceful relaxation, and an intimate atmosphere in the center of Zakopane in mind. Natural materials, handcrafted details, and views of the Tatra Mountains make the interiors combine elegance with an authentic mountain character. Guests can choose from apartments inspired by Alpine style, Podhale tradition, and timeless classics.

An Extraordinary Story

Before we invited luxury to Plac Niepodległości 7 and before one of the two best restaurants in Zakopane settled here, for 64 years the impressive building was filled with the clatter of printing machines.

Polonia Printing House

It all began in the colorful 1920s. Jan Trybuła was looking for a place to build a house where he could live and run the flourishing "Polonia" printing house. The choice fell on a plot at Independence Square (which was then called the Market) near the park with the city baths.

Right next door – barely 10 years earlier – Stefan Żeromski took the oath of loyalty from the army and nation in 1918 as the president of the independent Republic of Zakopane. In 1928, a brick tenement house with impressive columns at the entrance was built, and its interiors were filled with the almost nonstop clatter of printing machines. Among other things, these extraordinary years of the interwar period, when skiing, dancing, and bridge reigned in Zakopane, are told by photos from the archives of the Tatra Museum, which decorate the interiors of the Aparthotel Cristina.
