Concierge service Сarpathians Polana Resort – LoftAffair Collection
Rating:
HOTEL OVERVIEW
You know what struck me first about Polana Resort? It’s not trying to be some flashy mountain resort that screams for attention. Tucked away on Chotarz-Bór street in Kościelisko, it feels like someone took the concept of a boutique hotel and dropped it into the heart of the Tatras without losing any of the sophistication. The LoftAffair Collection branding isn’t just marketing speak here – there’s actually a loft-like spaciousness to the rooms that makes you forget you’re in what’s essentially a mountain village. I mean, Kościelisko isn’t exactly a bustling metropolis, but that’s precisely the point. You’re close enough to Zakopane (maybe 10 minutes by car) to hit the main tourist spots, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the crowds stumbling back from Krupówki at midnight.
The staff here gets it – they understand that a 4-star rating in this part of Poland means something different than it would in Warsaw or Kraków. They’re not overly formal, but they know their stuff about the local hiking trails and can actually give you useful advice about which cable car to take up Kasprowy Wierch depending on the weather. Honestly, the 9-point rating makes sense once you’ve been there a few days. It’s those little things that add up – the way they handle the breakfast (locally sourced where it matters, not just because it sounds good), the fact that parking isn’t a nightmare like it is closer to the main Zakopane area, and how the building itself doesn’t feel like it was dropped in from some generic hotel chain playbook. The architecture works with the landscape instead of fighting it.
What really sold me on the place was spending an evening on their terrace area after a long day hiking around Morskie Oko. The Tatras have this way of looking completely different as the light changes, and from Polana Resort, you get these views that aren’t the postcard-perfect shots everyone takes – they’re better because they feel more intimate, more like you’re actually part of the landscape rather than just observing it. The rooms are quiet too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to recover from a day of mountain hiking. I’ve stayed in places closer to Zakopane’s center where the noise from late-night revelers makes sleeping impossible, but here? You’ll hear the wind in the trees before you hear any traffic. The whole experience feels intentional – like someone actually thought about what travelers need when they’re using the Tatras as more than just a backdrop for Instagram photos.
