Christening in Krakow at the Royal Palace
Christenings in Krakow at the Bonerowski Palace are held in a historic 15th-century palace, 50 meters from the Cloth Hall, and are suitable for groups of 10-80 people.

Why is the Bonerowski Palace the best place for a baptism in Krakow?
Are you looking for a unique venue that combines history, style, and the highest standards of service?
The Bonerowski Palace is the perfect backdrop for the most important moments in your life. Located on the Main Market Square, this Renaissance townhouse offers an unforgettable atmosphere found nowhere else. Organize your wedding or family celebration in one of the most prestigious venues, which delights not only with its architectural beauty but also with its history.
Choose from three options: the elegant Royal or Princely Halls, or the more informal St. John Cocktail Club, located in the beautiful cellars of the Palace.
Historic interiors and location on the Main Square
Bonerowski Palace stands at Rynek Główny 27—50 meters from the Cloth Hall and a 10-minute walk from Wawel Hill. The building is a genuine, listed monument—Gothic vaults, stone architectural details, and historically accurate room proportions. None of the décor elements are reconstructed or "palace-style"—they are original.
For a family organizing a christening in Krakow, the address on Rynek Główny also has practical value: guests arrive by public transportation directly, a taxi from the church costs pennies, and families from distant cities can stay on-site—a boutique hotel in the same building offers premium rooms and apartments bookable directly through the Palace.
Photos of the christening against the backdrop of the historic walls of Rynek Główny speak volumes about the place. Twenty years from now, these photos will still be recognizable.

5★ service and experience in organizing family celebrations
A christening is a family celebration—the presence of children and seniors, a variety of diets, and a sentimental daily routine distinguish it from a corporate event. The Bonerowski Palace understands this uniqueness.
A dedicated event coordinator manages the organization from initial contact until the reception's conclusion—a single point of contact, with the family's wish list as a starting point, not a template.
On the day of the ceremony, the waitstaff is exclusively at your family's disposal: children's menus are served without request, high chairs are available on-site, and the serving rhythm is tailored to the reception—not the kitchen's schedule.
How to organize a christening at the Bonerowski Palace - step by step
The organization of a christening at the Bonerowski Palace takes place in 4 stages – from the first contact through the selection of the menu and decorations to the day of the ceremony – with a dedicated coordinator at each stage.
Reserving the room and setting the date of the christening
The first step is to inquire about availability for your chosen date. This can be done by phone, email, or through the contact form on the hotel website. You'll receive a personalized quote for your christening package within one business day—no waiting time, no need to submit your inquiry to the events department, and no waiting for weeks.
Useful information for your first contact:
- Planned date (or range of dates to choose from)
- Number of guests - approximate number of adults and children separately
- Approximate budget - helps us recommend the right package from the very first conversation
Bonerowski Palace recommends booking at least 4–8 weeks in advance. During the spring and summer season (April–October) and in December, availability of Saturdays is limited—the earlier you book, the more dates you'll have to choose from.
