The Bonerowski Palace Boutique Hotel

Hotel Description

You know those hotels where you walk in and immediately think “okay, this is going to cost me” – but in the best possible way? That’s The Bonerowski Palace. I mean, the name literally has “palace” in it, so you’re not exactly expecting a budget situation, but honestly, the moment you step into that lobby, you get it. The ceiling details alone probably cost more than my car, and there’s this sort of hushed elegance that makes you automatically lower your voice without thinking about it.

What really got me though was how they’ve managed to keep all that old-world grandeur without making it feel like a museum. The rooms have these gorgeous period details – we’re talking original moldings and the kind of windows that make you want to dramatically gaze out of them – but then the bathroom has a rainfall shower that actually works properly (you’d be surprised how rare that is in historic properties). The staff clearly knows their stuff too; they have that gentle way of anticipating what you need without hovering, which is honestly an art form. I watched the concierge give directions to another guest and could tell he was sharing the kind of insider routes that locals use, not just the obvious tourist path.

The location is pretty spectacular if you’re planning to explore on foot. You’re basically in the heart of everything – I could hear the evening buzz from the square drifting up to my room, but it wasn’t the kind of noise that keeps you awake, more like a gentle reminder that there’s life happening just outside. Morning coffee on some of the upper floors gives you these glimpses of rooftops and church spires that look straight out of a postcard, except you’re actually there. The 9.0 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed there; it’s the kind of place where small touches accumulate into something really memorable. Fair warning though – after a few nights here, regular hotels are going to feel pretty ordinary. It sort of spoils you for everywhere else, which is both wonderful and slightly problematic for future travel budgets.
