Fodor's Expert Review Zamek Biskupi Janów Podlaski

Zamkowa 1, Podlasie, 21-505, Poland Fodor's Choice

Built on the ruins of a 15th-century castle, this historic structure was saved by the Arche Hotel Group, who have turned it into an isolated luxury retreat with great care and at great expense. With the assistance of professional conservators, some historic structures were repurposed with the addition of modern comforts, while other parts of the property were built from scratch. Rooms differ from one another, but they are all stylishly striking. In some suites, you will find vaulted ceilings, in others, freestanding bathtubs on lions' paws. "Bbasic" rooms also have nice touches: here a fragment of an old wooden bookcase, there a beautiful, designer light fixture. The new section, which is connected to the main castle with an underground passage, contains bright rooms in Scandi style, with extra common space including a kitchenette, a comfortable option for families or groups of friends. The restaurant will tickle your taste buds with top-notch international dishes and creative variations of the local classics. An extensive spa and wellness complex includes a pool, saunas, and beauty institute certified by Dr. Irena Eris. Other amenities include state-of-the-art conference rooms and facilities, three bars, and a playroom for children. The hospitable and enthusiastic reception staff are ready to help you arrange local sightseeing and outdoor activities.
