Open'er Festival is Poland's largest and most internationally renowned music event, held each July at the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport near the Baltic Sea with over 100,000 attendees across four days of rock, pop, electronic, and hip-hop headliners. Staged at a disused airport runway, it has a uniquely industrial glamour that perfectly suits its bold and eclectic programming, consistently attracting the biggest names in contemporary music. Gdansk — one of the Baltic's most beautiful medieval cities — is the primary hotel hub for Open'er, combining festival excitement with exceptional sightseeing.
Our Picks — Gdansk
Old Town — Długi Targ
The grandest address in Gdańsk, this five-star hotel occupies a prime position on the Długi Targ with rooms that frame the Neptune Fountain through tall windows. The restaurant has won multiple Polish culinary awards, the spa is the most comprehensive in the city centre, and the level of service matches anything in Warsaw or Kraków.
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.
Granary Island
The most romantically situated hotel in Gdańsk, de la Noblesse occupies a 17th-century granary on an island in the Motława, with access via a drawbridge. The converted warehouse rooms — all exposed brick and timber — look back at the illuminated Old Town skyline, and the waterside restaurant serves excellent Baltic fish.
Szeroka Street — Waterfront
A 17th-century baroque palace on the Motława waterfront, meticulously restored as a boutique hotel of great character. The vaulted cellars have been converted into an atmospheric restaurant, and the upper-floor rooms with gabled dormer windows feel authentically Hanseatic in the best possible way.
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.
