Five-star hotel (OpenStreetMap classification) on the Szafarnia embankment of the Motława, facing the Old Town.
Hotel Gdańsk is a five-star property (according to the OpenStreetMap classification) at ul. Szafarnia 9 on Granary Island (Wyspa Spichrzów), facing the Old Town across the Motława river in Gdańsk, Poland. The Szafarnia embankment gives the hotel a direct view of the Main Town skyline, with the Crane, St Mary's Church and the Town Hall tower visible from the waterfront. The Old Town can be reached on foot by crossing the river at nearby footbridges or the Green Bridge area, and a walk to the Long Market takes only a few minutes. Gdańsk Główny railway station is a short taxi ride away. Granary Island was historically the city's grain storage district, and many buildings here are modern or reconstructed in the proportions of the old warehouses; the hotel fits this setting with a waterfront orientation and brick-influenced styling. Rooms are listed as Standard, Superior and Suite categories, and views toward the river typically cost more than courtyard-facing rooms. The hotel is placed in the highest price bracket in this guide ($$$$). A restaurant on the premises serves breakfast and meals, and the surrounding embankment has further cafés and restaurants within walking distance. Wifi is available. The listed amenities do not include a pool or spa, so guests seeking wellness facilities may prefer a different property, though the position suits visitors whose priority is the location and the view rather than extensive facilities. The service character is that of an upmarket city hotel, with reception staff able to arrange taxis, local tours and restaurant bookings. The island setting is quieter in the evening than the Old Town itself, which is helpful for light sleepers, although summer evenings along the river can be lively. Visitors travelling by car should check parking arrangements directly with the hotel, as space on Granary Island and in the Old Town is limited. The hotel is a practical base for sightseeing on foot, for day trips by train to Sopot and Gdynia, and for harbour boat departures from the nearby embankment.
