First Hilton in Poland

Last month a cornerstone ceremony was held to mark the beginning of the construction of the complex. The 22-floor, 313-room hotel will also offer a state-of-the art conference center, including Warsaw's largest conference hall of 1,500 sqm. Apart from bars, restaurants and a casino, the hotel will also offer a 4,000 sqm fitness club and spa, to be operated by Holmes Place 77. "We are delighted to be entering the Polish market with our first hotel in Warsaw, a location of increasing importance as a gateway city in that part of Europe," said Anthony Harris, Chief Executive of Hilton International. The hotel will be the first stage of the project, as its ground floor will later be linked to a shopping mall, two residential towers and an office complex. The total area of the development is planned at 140,000 sqm.
