The glamour of Kraków s interwar cafes and the clean functionalism of its mid-century modern cinemas informed Paradowski Studio s renovation of the Puro Hotel.
Opened in 2013, the Stare Miasto hotel by Polish hotel brand Puro is located next to the city s historic old town and spans 138 rooms alongside an extensive open-plan reception, lobby space and restaurant.

Local design office Paradowski Studio, run by Zuza and Piotr Paradowski, overhauled its interior by blending the chic of a bygone Kraków with contemporary details and craftsmanship.
In particular, the design was informed by the cafes and restaurants that flourished in the city between the first and second world war.
