Grand plan for restoration

Work is set to begin after the summer season and could see the hotel close its doors for up to 18 months. The impressive exterior will change little, but the interior is set for a radical overhaul. The kitchen will be modernized and moved to an upper floor, and a swimming pool with biological regeneration put in its place. The casino will move to the former Turystyczna restaurant, which will allow for the restoration of the ballroom. The bedrooms will also be redesigned. The total cost of the work will be about zł.40 million, and has been on the cards since 1999. The hotel was last renovated 60 years ago and is now in the hands of Orbis Accor.
