Hotel Hanza

Hotel Hanza is a four-star waterfront hotel at ul. Tokarska 6 in the Main Town of Gdańsk, Poland, standing on the Motława river between the medieval Crane and the heart of the Old Town. The name recalls the Hanseatic League, of which Gdańsk was a leading member, and the position on the quay places guests close to the maritime heritage that shaped the city. The Crane, the National Maritime Museum and the Long Market are all within a short walk, and Mariacka Street with its amber shops is a few minutes further. Gdańsk Główny railway station is reachable by a short tram or taxi ride. The building is a modern hotel designed to harmonise with the surrounding brick architecture, and many rooms look out on the river and the moored boats. Room types are Double Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, with the Superior and Suite categories offering more space and often better views. The price bracket is upscale ($$$). Amenities listed include a restaurant, a bar and wifi; the restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and the bar suits an evening drink after a day of sightseeing. A pool or spa is not listed, so the hotel's appeal lies in location and waterfront setting. The service character is that of a mid-sized city hotel with a friendly, personal tone, catering to couples, small groups and business visitors who prefer a central address over a large resort. Reception staff can book taxis, boat trips and excursions to Sopot, Gdynia and the Malbork Castle. As the quay is pedestrian-friendly, the hotel is quiet at night compared with the busier pubs around Długi Targ, although summer evenings can bring crowds along the river. Visitors travelling by car should confirm parking arrangements before arrival.
