Crocus Hotel is located on Tytusa Chalubinskiego Street, which was founded in mid-nineteenth century as a road that connected the poor village of Zakopane with Kuznice - a metallurgical settlement in the Tatras. Since then the village began to grow in the direction of the mountains. In 1885 it was given the status of a climate observation base, an in 1933 it acquired city rights. Zakopane became the most famous tourist town in Poland, and Kuznice – a point of departure for many trips into the mountains.

The present location of the hotel is the geographical center of the town, only a two kilometer (about 15 minutes) walk from Krupowki, the shopping center. Another two kilometers away is the “Gateway to the Tatras”, Kuznice, with the lower station of the Kasprowy Wierch cable-railway. From our hotel, it only takes a quarter of an hour to reach Zakopane's "old town" - Koscieliska Street, with highlander huts from the nineteenth century, a historic, wooden church built in 1847 and a necropolis where some famous Poles lie – the cementary in Peksowy Brzyzk.

From the hotel windows, you can admire the splendor of the Tatras, among others of Giewont, which – at 1895 meters of altitude - is precisely a thousand meters above the hotel. It only takes a two hours’ walk to reach the base of a 600 meter-tall wall of Giewont and feel the mountain's greatness to the fullest. It was the contact with the wild nature that made Tytus Chalubinski come to the Tatras. He visited Zakopane every year since 1873, and thus became an avid explorer of the mountains, gaining a nick name of “The King of the Mountains”. Hotel Crocus, just on Chalubinskiego Street, is a perfect place to stay in Zakopane and from which to trek around the Tatras.
