Nosalowy Dwor Resort & Spa

Nosalowy Dwor Resort & Spa is a mountain resort in timber and stone at the foot of Nosal, on the eastern edge of Zakopane. It has pools and a spa, and its position puts you close to the slopes and the trailheads rather than the town centre.

The build is timber and stone in a mountain-resort style, with a spa and pools at its core. This is a full-service resort geared to longer stays and wellness rather than a small town hotel. For room types, what each includes and current rates, check the resort's official channels.

The resort sits at the foot of Nosal, the slope on the east side of town, with the Tatras close at hand and the ski lifts and cable cars around Zakopane a short drive or bus ride away. Krupowki and the town centre are a little further out than a central hotel, which buys you quiet and a setting closer to the mountains. A short trip brings you to the cable car at Kuznice for the high ridges.

It suits families, couples and groups who want a resort with pools and a spa, and who prefer a quieter mountain-edge setting to the busy centre. Skiers and walkers who want the slopes and trails nearby will get the most from the location.

The mountains sit on the doorstep and the town is a short trip away:

• Kasprowy Wierch, the summit reached by cable car from nearby Kuznice.
• Krupowki, the main street, a short drive or bus ride into the centre.
• Giewont, the peak that overlooks Zakopane, on the skyline to the south.
• For routes and day trips, see the Zakopane guide.

Nosalowy Dwor is not a single building but a small complex of four: Rezydencja Nosalowy Dwor, a second Rezydencja, the Hotel Grand and the Hotel Nosalowy Dwor, all sharing the wellness and dining facilities. The address is ul. Oswalda Balzera 21, on the road that runs out towards Nosal.

The wellness side is the reason many people book. There is a 20-metre pool alongside a shallower section with geysers, a waterfall and hydromassage loungers, plus four saunas and a jacuzzi, and hotel guests get free access. Treatments run under the resort's own NABE Spa (massages, rituals and skincare), and there is a fifth-floor fitness club, FIT & GYM, with instructor-led classes. For pool timings, treatment menus and current rates, confirm through the resort's official channels.
