For our first vacation since the beginning of the pandemic, we decided to travel by car. We felt the situation was simply too uncertain for air travel. The decision quickly fell on southern Poland, partly due to the low incidence rates. We chose the DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow as our base for our trip and were curious to see what the four-star hotel offered in this situation.
