If you would like to choose a hotel over and above the average in Kazimierz district, the Ester will be the best choice. An excellent location (Szeroka street is situated in the heart of Kazimierz) and a beautiful, completely renovated in 2006, modern stylish interior makes the hotel one of the most attractive accommodations in the area. With the underground banquet-conference room and its own restaurant, the hotel is ready to accommodate small training groups and spoil the customers with a carefully selected menu.
White, caramel, bronze, chocolate color wood, stone, flowers - those elements accompany you at every moment and make a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
3 stars rate is too low, you would see that Ester deserves rather 4 stars.
The reception staff perfectly communicates in English and will greet you with a smile every time.
Unfortunately, there are no rooms adapted for disabled people needs.
Rooms
The Ester Hotel offers single, double rooms and suites.
The decorations have their own unique character: excellent choice of colors, modern functional furniture and large spacious rooms. In newly renovated rooms there are no signs of wear and tear, brand new equipment, spacious bedrooms shining with cleanness (in some of them there are big corner-tubs). Each room is equipped with satellite TV, radio, telephone, air conditioning. You will be completely satisfied with a bed size in a single room because it is really enormous.
The ceilings are worth a mention - wooden tie-beams give the interior dignity and fanciful simplicity.
The most attractive rooms are overlooking the Remuh Synagogue, a square formed by Szeroka street churches' towers and countless historic houses - that view is worth to get it.
There is an elevator but there are no rooms adapted for disabled people needs. There is the option for smoking or non-smoking room.
Restaurant
The restaurant which bears the same name as the hotel, is an exceptional place. You could spend a whole day surrounded by the interior's warm decorations, enjoying the taste and attractiveness of served dishes as well as excellent service. Fortunately you can continue the pleasure by staying in the Restaurant Drink Bar or in the garden during the summer season.
There are live concerts on weekends- this is a good occasion to listen to Jewish music.
The restaurant is air conditioned, perfectly white cloths, fresh flowers on the tables and in the stone flower-pots, bright beige comfortable chairs confirm that the most important thing is the customer's comfort.
As it is Kazimierz district, you can try some Jewish cuisine specialties as well as popular European dishes. For Polish specialties we can recommend: "Marinated duck fillet with flour dumplings and farced apple poured with mushrooms sauce" is worth much more than you pay for this. For 40-60 PLN you can have a beautifully served, delicious 2-courses meal. A generous wine list will allow you to choose your favorite wine to accompany a dinner.
Conference rooms
The hotel has its own conference room "Kamienna" which can be used as a banquet room because of its decorations and location (arranged in the building's cellar). "Kamienna" makes a really good impression. It is separated from the noisier part of the hotel, therefore the atmosphere is favorable to concentrate. The conference room can accommodate up to 30 people. All equipment is available on request: projectors, screen, flipchart, microphones, video.
Next to the conference room there is a cozy room perfect for small meetings. The cool stone walls are refreshing and will make you feel relaxed even on a busy day of work.
The restaurant can organize catering for business meetings.
Additional Services
The free car park next to the hotel is at your disposal.
The reception staff will help you to get a guided city tour.
