Grano Hotel Gdańsk Old Town is a spa-focused hotel on Pszenna Street, in the corner of the historic centre close to the Motława and Granary Island, where old warehouses have been turned into hotels, apartments and restaurants. Its main appeal is the wellness area: an indoor pool with sunloungers, a steam room, and rooms for massage and other treatments, which are a real asset on a grey Baltic day or after a long walk on cobblestones. There are 136 air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, and the hotel adds a restaurant, a cafe and a bar, a business centre with two meeting rooms and an electric car charging point, so it works equally well for leisure and work. Laundry and dry cleaning, a front desk safe and luggage storage make short stays comfortable, and the property is smoke-free. Pets are welcome. The tone is calm, modern and a little luxurious without being formal, with the sort of finish you would expect from a hotel that aims at couples and anyone who wants to be pampered. The hotel is a particularly good choice for a winter weekend, when the pool and steam room turn the cold outside into an advantage.
Location and getting around
The Green Gate is about four minutes away on foot, and the Main Town Hall and Neptune's Fountain on the Long Market are about seven minutes away. St. Mary's Church is around nine minutes, and the Old Town Hall about sixteen. The waterfront promenade along the Motława is close, and the cafes and amber shops of Mariacka Street are an easy walk. The airport is roughly thirty-six minutes by car, and the nearest stations, such as Łódzka, are a short ride away. Most visitors will do their sightseeing on foot.
The rooms and what to expect
Rooms are modern, comfortable and quiet, with good beds. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, as is self parking, which is priced by the day, and the airport shuttle can be booked for a fee per vehicle, so compare these extras before you book. Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is at noon. The spa areas are for guests, and it is worth checking which treatments are on offer and whether they need to be booked in advance.
Who it suits and what to know: the hotel suits couples, small groups of friends and anyone who wants a restful evening at the end of a day of sightseeing. Families should check the pool and spa rules for children when you book. Rates are usually moderate and rise on summer weekends, during the amber fair and at Christmas and New Year, so check dates when you book.
