Maxymilian Hotel

Gdańsk & Pomerania


The splendidly classy Maxymilian offers a quiet location and stylishly furnished rooms. The elegant building it occupies stands in stark contrast to the Sand Hotel opposite, which casts a long shadow. A spa, restaurant, sauna and accommodating staff make this a great deal, but book ahead as it fills up before anywhere else. Rates drop by half in winter.
