Sleek, contemporary luxury hotel with rooftop pool and bar
The five-story Hilton Gdansk has a unique facade crafted from glass, handmade red brick, and local limestone, all finished with a succession of faux pointed roofs that mimic the classic gabled buildings in Gdansk's Old Town. The lobby is spacious and contemporary, with dark tiled floors and rectangular carpeted areas set with long wooden coffee tables and slouchy brown leather couches finished with pink and gray accent pillows. Illuminated glass flowers -- designed by a local artist -- hang suspended over the black marble reception desk. The lobby restaurant has a faintly Scandinavian feel, with wood floors, simple gray upholstered dining chairs, exposed hanging pendant lights, and gray tiled walls finished with wall planters. This hotel attracts both business travelers and tourists, including families traveling with children.
