About Zinar Castle
High above Kraków, in the wooded folds of Wolski Forest, Zinar Castle has quietly watched over the city for nearly a century. Originally built during World War II for the German commandant, then known as Schloss Wartenberg, the limestone villa has been reimagined in 2024 as a refined five-star property. Its 34 rooms combine contemporary workmanship with pieces by celebrated Polish artists, while the two-level U Ziyad restaurant unfolds across arched arcades and open-air terraces. With forest trails on its doorstep and the Old Town just minutes away, Zinar Castle offers a rare pairing: total escape with Kraków still in view.
