We’ve long been fans of the Gdansk thanks to its great location in a sandblasted granary building which stares out across the river onto the old town. In recent times the hotel has expanded and offers guests a choice of styles in which to live. The original 17th century granary ‘spichlerz’ part comes with rooms in three different styles, all hinting at the past with wooden beams and pictures of ‘Old Danzig’. The adjacent new ‘yachting’ part on the other hand is very 21st century and offers a contrasting modern design and feel as well as spa facilities and a conference centre. And as if that wasn’t enough there’s the highly recommended Brovarnia microbrewery and restaurant on the ground floor of the granary part.
