The last snowless winters inspire us to spend holidays with children in an unconventional location. Since there is no snow in the mountains, it is worth prioritizing the amount and variety of attractions available on-site when choosing a hotel for winter holidays, which can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. At Hotel Podklasztorze, located less than two hours' drive from Warsaw, there is no time for boredom. Here, the lack of snow is no hindrance. How to plan a week-long holiday in central Poland?
We provide tips and invite you to Hotel Podklasztorze.
Upon arriving at Hotel Podklasztorze, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the facility and the attractions it offers. Winter packages for families with children are very popular among guests. Winter holidays with children in a luxury hotel combine exceptional comfort, attractions for the youngest, and relaxation for the whole family.
The historic Cistercian abbey impresses not only history enthusiasts. This 12th-century gem of Romanesque architecture is one of the best-preserved monastic complexes in Europe. Many films have been shot on the grounds of the abbey. This is where the iconic scene of the kidnapping of Prince Bogusław (played by Leszek Teleszyński) by Kmicic (Daniel Olbrychski) in "The Deluge" by Jerzy Hoffman was filmed.
Recently, Podklasztorze was featured in the Netflix comedy series - "1670".
The historic walls hide many interesting stories and secrets. On selected Saturdays, you can participate in the hotel’s “Family History Lesson” to discover the secrets of medieval princes and kings who visited the Cistercian abbey. It is also worth experiencing the past first-hand by staying in the royal suites of Casimir the Just or Władysław Jagiełło. We recommend taking a walk to see the landmarks creating this historical monument. These include, among others, the Kraków Gate, the Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury, the arsenal building, the rectory, and towers – the Moorish, abbey, musical, attic, and knightly towers.
Winter holidays with children near Warsaw is a great idea for family trips. Hotel Podklasztorze has prepared a program of attractions and animations for all days of the week.

Our family hotel for winter holidays offers comfortable rooms, attractions for children, and relaxation for adults, ensuring an unforgettable holiday for the whole family. Hotel Podklasztorze is located by
the Pilica River. It is the longest left tributary of the Vistula River – Pilica is about 320 km long. In 1974, due to the construction of a dam and the accumulation of water, the Sulejowski Reservoir was created near Sulejów, which is approximately 17 km long and has a maximum width of 2 km. Close to the dam separating the reservoir from the Pilica, there is a several hundred-meter-long concrete pier, which is a popular walking spot. Both the river and the reservoir form the Sulejów Landscape Park. Winter holidays with children close to nature allow for quality relaxation.
After outdoor activities, it is worth relaxing in the wellness area of Hotel Podklasztorze.
The pool with jacuzzi, children's zone, and attractions is a great place for family relaxation. The youngest can have fun in the paddling pool with a mini-slide and umbrella. At the Abbey Baths, you can take advantage of the honey-herb dry sauna and the steam sauna with a rassoul function, where it is worth going through a special ritual derived from Morocco. On selected dates, sauna nights with
a sauna master take place. A hotel with a pool for winter holidays is the perfect place for relaxation and fun for the whole family.
What to do in the evening? From Monday to Friday at 7:00 PM, we invite you to a movie screening with popcorn.
This is a unique way to end the day, allowing every family member, regardless of age, to feel comfortable and relax with a good film.
Attractions for children at the hotel during the holidays include animations, playrooms, pools, and themed workshops.
During breakfast at 9:30, children have the opportunity to meet the hotel mascot – Leo the Troublemaker. This is a charming lion who is always eager to play. Why a lion? According to legend, Prince Casimir the Just, the founder of the abbey in Sulejów, was saved by lions when he got lost in the Pilica Forest. Leo the Troublemaker has his own toy chest – it contains balls, boules, badminton, board games, and books.
Winter holidays with animations for children are a great hit. At Hotel Podklasztorze, you can participate in games with an animator all day long. Each day of the week has its theme. For instance, on Monday, we head with the children to the “Land of Frost,” on Tuesday the activities are titled “Leo in Antarctica,” and on Wednesday the “Winter Animals” reign. On Thursday, we experience “Lion Adventures.” On Friday, we go to “Snowy World,” and on Saturday to the “Ice Kingdom.” Between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, a supplementary meal is prepared for children included in the holiday package – a tasty and nourishing soup.
Family-friendly hotels for the holidays offer special facilities, games, and care, ensuring a family atmosphere and comfortable relaxation.
After lunch, you can go sightseeing. It's worth visiting the Gallery of Legends at the Kraków Gate as well as seeing the Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury. It is a three-nave basilica with a transept, preserved in its original state, featuring a beautiful Romanesque portal and rose window, as well as Baroque and Rococo furnishings. You can also visit the only preserved wing of the monastery, which today houses a museum.
In the evening, it is worth taking advantage of the spa treatments offered at Hotel Podklasztorze. On this occasion, you can use a 100 PLN voucher included in the price of the holiday package.

Among the spa treatments for children, you can find, among others, back massages - “Chocolate Delights” based on chocolate or “Little Knight Massage” with lavender oil. Winter holidays with children in the SPA are a great idea.
The underground Tourist Route Nagórzyce Caves is a real treat for lovers of unconventional attractions. It is the site of an abandoned underground sand mine used for glass production. The tour takes place along a secured mining path about 160 m long. Guides narrate the history and specifics of the quarry and recount local legends and curiosities related to the underground. The Nagórzyce Caves are about a 30-minute drive from Hotel Podklasztorze.
After returning, it is worth using the hotel’s playroom for children. In Figlarium, the youngest will find a monkey grove with a ball pool, climbing wall, and interactive floor. There is also a table tennis table and a small readers’ corner. A hotel with a playroom for winter holidays is ideal.
