While many visitors prefer to spend Christmas in Krakow or Warsaw, Wroclaw shouldn’t be overlooked. It is by far one of the most beautiful cities in Poland and throughout much of Central Europe.
Hotels near Wroclaw Christmas Market
The Wroclaw Christmas Market is held in Market Square, also known as Rynek in Polish. It is a colourful, historic square with cobblestones, statues, and fountains, lined with shops, cafes, bars, and boutique stores.
All hotels in the historic city centre (Stare Miasto) are conveniently located, but you could also consider staying in the area around Cathedral Island or near the train station if you’re arriving by train and only staying in Wroclaw for a short time.

Aparthotel New Lux
Address: Rynek Ratusz 10, Wrocław
What is astonishing about this central apartment in Wroclaw is that it has received more than 1,000 booking reviews and is rated at 9.8/10.

If you want the space and privacy of an apartment while staying literally on Market Square, the main square, then book this place before it sells out.
The Bridge
Address: Plac Katedralny 8, Śródmieście, Wroclaw
Cathedral Island and the neighbouring Śródmieście district are one of the most relaxing areas of Wroclaw. It’s very green with many parks and walkways along the Oder River. While the newly opened Bridge Hotel is a 20-minute walk to Market Square, it’s one of the loveliest walks in the city, which takes you past many sights and beautiful, historic streets. The boutique-style rooms are new and modern, featuring high-end finishes and huge, comfortable beds for which the MGallery is known. The Bridge utilises 100% renewable electricity, avoids single-use plastics, features an electric car charging station, offers bike rentals, sources its food locally, and supports local artists by displaying their artwork in the hotel. This makes The Bridge one of the most sustainable hotels in Wroclaw.
Korona Hotel
Address: 2 Oławska, Wroclaw, Poland
Another clean and comfortable hotel near the Wroclaw Christmas Market is the Korona Hotel (an unfortunate name). The hotel is just 1 minute from Market Square and the beautiful Old Town Hall, now home to the Museum of Bourgeois Art. This is a brilliant location, especially if visiting the Christmas markets and Wroclaw’s main sights and attractions is a priority. The hotel is also just around the corner from the Bridge of Penitents, a wonderful lookout on top of a 15th-century church. Don’t miss it.
