Baltic Palace Design Hotel
The Baltic Palace, a four-star hotel in Pobierowo, was designed by two Polish architects - Mateusz Tański and Piotr Michalewicz.
Situated in the west of Poland’s Baltic Sea coast, Pobierowo is a small resort town. After Poland shifted to market economy over twenty years ago, Pobierowo has followed the development path of many similar seaside towns: due to lack of timely local planning it has been strewn with buildings of questionable aesthetic value which form the surrounding of the new futuristic development in the town, the Baltic Palace hotel.
The hotel’s design is a clear-cut distinction from the buildings around it: it’s bright, light and streamlined. Its glass façade resembles the waves and dunes of the sandy beach located just dozens of metres away. Thanks to the curved glass, the front of the building flows down from the top and ensures a borderless transition between the roof, the façade and the piazza in front of the hotel.
The façade’s regular division corresponds to the logic of the interior layout of rooms hidden behind the glass walls – all of which enjoy access to loggia located between them. The rear (southern) façade is divided according to the same rhythm of interior glass walls. The end-walls were designed as plain surfaces from large granite slabs.
There are 44 rooms and apartments in the hotel. The ground floor, apart from its lobby area, bar and restaurant, includes a body and wellness centre and a SPA zone with two swimming pools and saunas. The building’s underground level hosts a nightclub that can turn into a conference centre if required.
All the interior design and decoration materials applied in the building are a continuation of the general idea: their quality, natural colours and textures are inspired by the surrounding natural environment, thus forming a coherent combination with the hotel’s modern and light architecture.
