Colossal New Hotel Debuts with Impressive Amenities
A massive new hotel, set to be the largest in Poland, is opening its doors this week, boasting an array of luxurious features including a swimming pool that dwarfs Olympic standards. The five-star Gołębiewski Pobierowo, located in the Polish resort town of Pobierowo on the Baltic Sea, officially welcomes guests on Wednesday, June 17.
Spanning an impressive 80,000 square meters, the hotel features thirteen floors and 1,240 rooms. While it may not claim the title of Europe’s largest – with the Royal National Hotel in London and the Rin Grand Hotel in Bucharest holding larger capacities – it secures a respectable third place among the continent’s biggest hotels.
Accommodation and Booking Details
Rooms at the Gołębiewski Pobierowo are available for booking, with prices starting at approximately £300 (€350) per night. For those seeking more opulent accommodations, suites are priced up to £775 (€900).
Marketing chief Marta Masłowska reported a strong initial response, with over 2,000 bookings secured within the first 24 hours of availability. However, it has been noted that only 500 of the 1,240 rooms are fully completed at present.
Extensive Leisure Facilities
Guests can anticipate a wealth of recreational opportunities. A standout feature is the vast outdoor swimming pool, measuring an extraordinary 104 meters in length and 60 meters in width – more than double the dimensions of an Olympic-sized pool. Beyond the main pool, the hotel offers a comprehensive water park complete with whirlpools, water slides, a sauna, and a salt grotto, promising a complete wellness and entertainment experience.
Future Additions and Activities
Further enhancing the guest experience, local reports indicate plans for an on-site cinema and a supermarket. For the more adventurous, the hotel is set to include climbing walls, a bowling alley, and volleyball courts. The lobby will feature live piano music, and there will be a dedicated disco and entertainment area for younger guests.
The hotel’s website also advertises four themed restaurants, though specific details regarding their culinary focus are yet to be revealed.
Prime Location on the Baltic Coast
The Gołębiewski Pobierowo is situated along the picturesque coastline of Pobierowo, adjacent to a two-and-a-half-mile stretch of beach characterized by soft white sand and the clear waters of the Baltic Sea. The hotel’s imposing structure overlooks the surrounding forested landscape.
The area itself offers charming seaside villages and attractions. Trzęsacz, a short drive away, is known for its 15th-century church and an interactive museum. The town of Pobierowo, a half-hour walk from the hotel, provides summer activities such as an outdoor inflatable park and a treetop climbing experience, making it a popular spot for active holidays.
A Legacy of Hospitality
This significant development is the vision of the late entrepreneur Tadeusz Gołębiewski, who built his success from humble beginnings as a waffle baker. He went on to found the biscuit manufacturer Tago in 1972 before establishing his extensive hotel empire.
Accessibility and Regional Tourism Growth
Pobierowo is conveniently located approximately an hour’s drive from Solidarity Szczecin-Goleniów Airport, which receives flights from several European cities. With flight times under two hours from London, the Polish seaside destination is poised to attract British travelers seeking short breaks.
The Baltic region of Poland has experienced a notable increase in tourism in recent years. Visitors are increasingly opting for the milder climate of the Polish coast over the intense heat of Southern Europe. Cities like Gdańsk, Sopot, and areas near Gdynia have seen growing numbers of international tourists.
Katarzyna Śmierzchalska, marketing manager at Hotel Nadmorski in Gdynia, commented that the Polish coast is drawing more international guests looking for an escape from extreme heat. This trend is also evident in other Baltic coastal resorts in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, recording a record 10 million international arrivals in 2025. Coastal areas like Palanga are also gaining popularity for their inviting beaches, natural beauty, and quality dining, offering a desirable beach holiday experience without the crowds and heat associated with the Mediterranean.
