"This hostel-style chalet at the foot of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane hosted more than five million guests as a Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society lodge before it was transformed into the luxurious Aries Hotel & Spa. This quaint, often snow-covered New Westphalian-style landmark still has many of the features that made it popular with generations of hikers — inviting interiors with exposed timber beams and stone fireplaces, a cozy café and bar, and abundant mountain views. But these days, its rooms and suites are both functional and fashionable, with sustainable Hypnos beds, richly textured carpets, and decor inspired by local craft traditions. Sweetening the deal is an elegant wood-framed spa with a light-filled indoor pool and a pair of stone-lined outdoor Jacuzzis." - Tablet Hotels
