Old Town — Motława Waterfront
A striking contemporary building on the Motława waterfront, the Radisson Blu offers rooms with river views, a rooftop pool with panoramic Old Town perspectives, and the brand's reliable business facilities. It's the top choice for corporate guests and for leisure travelers who want modern amenities in the heart of the old city.
Old Town
Named after the Baltic treasure that made Gdańsk wealthy, Hotel Amber occupies a beautifully restored burghers' house with amber-themed décor, wooden floors, and high-ceilinged rooms that communicate the city's mercantile grandeur. The location a block from the Long Lane puts every landmark within easy walking distance.
Long Lane — Długa
A boutique hotel in the very heart of the historic Długa street with character-filled rooms individually designed to reflect different periods of Gdańsk's history. The cellar wine bar is one of the most atmospheric drinking spots in the city, and the location couldn't be more central.
Old Town
A historic building converted into a three-star hotel that delivers excellent value in the heart of the Old Town, with comfortable rooms, a well-stocked cellar restaurant, and staff who can arrange amber jewellery workshops and Solidarity Museum tours with equal efficiency.
Old Town — Stare Miasto
PURO's flagship Baltic property brings its trademark Scandi-inspired design and app-controlled rooms to Gdańsk, with a rooftop bar that has become one of the city's most popular evening destinations. The brand's commitment to Polish contemporary art means the corridors double as a gallery walk.
Old Town
A reliable mid-range option in the Stare Miasto with the Accor brand's consistent quality standards and a convenient location for exploring both the historic centre and the European Solidarity Centre. The rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, and the breakfast buffet is one of the best in its price category in Gdańsk.

Common Questions
Interconnecting rooms or family suite configurations, a pool, a flexible breakfast with kids' options, proximity to family-friendly attractions, and staff who treat children as genuine guests. Safe areas for kids to run around are often more valuable than any specific amenity.
For younger children, all-inclusive removes the stress of meal logistics and can be excellent value. For families with older children who want to explore local restaurants and culture, a well-located non-all-inclusive hotel offers more variety.
Most hotel kids clubs cater to ages 4–12, though some extend to teens. Confirm the age range, supervision ratios, and programme quality before booking — the difference between a token babysitting service and a genuinely enriching programme is significant.
Book directly and request early check-in explicitly — hotels with availability can often accommodate without charge, especially for families. Arriving with a tired child to a lobby with no room available is one of travel's most avoidable stresses.
Several hotel chains offer family perks within loyalty programmes — kids stay free, complimentary cribs, and children's welcome amenities. IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hilton Honors all have family-friendly policies worth registering for before you travel.
