The iconic Stara Gawęda has build it's character during more then three decades of existence. Everywhere you can discover all the layers of history and you can read the changes of the political climate in them. The Gawęda was the standard place for concerts from famous Polish artists, weddings, parties and more. Today it is still the versatile place it once was, but the primary focus is now on the guest rooms. In the large 1.3 ha garden there is enough space to relax, start your barbecue, camp fire, or personal theatre act on the roofed outside stage. Or become a dj in one of the dance rooms.

The restaurant and guestrooms are situated in a green environment, but still close to the city of Cracow and very close to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The object is five kilometers away from the two kilometers wide lake of Dobczyce and eleven kilometers away from the mountain cable car and river in Myślenice. From the hotel there is a view to the hills of Makowski Beskid.
