A Former Mill Turned Hotel in Poland Impresses the NYT

Where: ul. Ogrodowa 17, Łódź, Poland, PL-91-065

Oh, how worldly you are, NYT! For its latest Check In, Check Out review, the paper headed to Poland. Specifically to Andel’s Hotel Lodz in the country’s third-largest city, Lodz. The hotel was apparently “still a bit unsteady” a few months ago—it opened in May—but is getting its footing fast. The red-brick building was once a weaving mill but is now home to business hotel for the booming city. The lobby, says the Times, is “improbably grand.”

Highlights: Loft-high ceilings in the guest room showed off the building’s original exposed brick and ironwork, while modern touches included a glass-top desk and flat-screen TV. The reviewer was able to order a full meal from the hotel’s bar menu despite arriving after 11 p.m. and the food was “above room-service average.” At first the waiter forgot the beer ordered but it was on the house when it did appear soon after. There’s a modern spa and a glass-domed rooftop pool with great views.
