New Hotel Openings – Kraków and Warsaw Expand Their Hospitality Offering
The beginning of 2025 marked a wave of significant hotel investments in Poland’s largest cities. The expansion of the accommodation base in Kraków and Warsaw reflects the ongoing demand in both the tourism and business sectors, as well as rising expectations for design, comfort, and service quality. The newly opened properties enrich the market with lifestyle, boutique, and premium options, setting new benchmarks in hospitality.
Moxy Warsaw City – Marriott International’s New Urban Addition
In the heart of Warsaw’s Wola district, on Towarowa Street, the second Moxy hotel in the capital has officially opened its doors. Located next to the Hilton hotel, Moxy Warsaw City features 263 guest rooms designed with the modern traveler in mind. The architectural concept was developed by AGK Architekci, while the investment was led by a Turkish capital group known for its involvement in Hampton by Hilton Warsaw Reduta and a hotel complex under the Campanile and Première Classe brands at the former Gromada Hotel site near Chopin Airport.
The April 2025 opening marked the sixth Moxy property in Poland, following earlier launches in Poznań, Katowice, Szczecin, and Warsaw Praga. The hotel brings an energetic blend of design, social space, and functionality tailored to young, tech-savvy guests.
Focus Hotels Made Its Debut in Kraków
Polish hotel group Focus Hotels S.A., part of the IMMOBILE Capital Group, entered the Kraków market with its first property in the city. Through a lease agreement with the owner of the Garden Square Hotel on Sucha Street, the four-star hotel was rebranded in April as Focus Hotel Premium Kraków.
The property features 75 rooms and suites, 150 square meters of conference space, a gym, a sauna, and a kids’ playroom. Guests can also enjoy the 4Seasons restaurant, which is equipped to host private events for up to 120 guests. The Kraków opening is part of the group’s broader expansion strategy, with new hotels also planned in Wrocław and Olsztyn later this year.
