About the Aparthotel

Everything here is
refined and comfortable

So that in the heart of Zakopane you can hide away, immerse yourself in peace and comfort that does not distract the senses.

When my husband and I decided to breathe new life into the deteriorating building on Independence Square, I decided that nothing would be done in a hurry. 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 lingers in memory for a long time.

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 the headboards, and hand-painted decorations wrapped the tiled fireplaces. This is how interiors in Alpine, highlander, and classic styles were created.

An extraordinary story

Before luxury was invited to Independence Square 7 and before one of the two best restaurants in Zakopane settled here, the handsome building was filled for 64 years 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.
