Located just under three hundred miles to the north of Warsaw at the mouth of the Vistula and was once the Prussian city of Danzig. The birthplace of Solidarity, Gdansk is the centre of the Polish Riviera and the gateway to castle country, which boasts structures such as the fortress of the Teutonic Knights of Malbork. This is a great place for lovers of history and culture to spend a few nights and the city includes its fair share of luxury hotels for visitors to choose from. Here is a selection of the city’s leading luxury hotels.
Radisson RED Gdansk
A funky port warehouse turned boutique hotel with just 30 bedrooms, this Radisson RED is located on Granary Island in the appealing city of Gdansk. Launched in 2022, the first Radisson RED in Poland, it sits beside the Motława River. The decor fuses retro shapes and textures, with masculine urban elements and loft-style original features like exposed brick walls. In addition to standard bedrooms, there are self-catering apartments, split-level family rooms and suites — some with river views and freestanding tubs. The hotel also incorporates the Whiskey in the Jar steakhouse, a bar and a fitness centre.
Hotel Gdańsk Boutique
This luxurious establishment perfectly combines elements of both old and new as it is located in both a fully restored 18th-century granary as well as an enchanting modern marine-style building.

The most spacious rooms also come complete with their own private seating area and this is a great place to relax and unwind.
