Louvre Hotels Group is further strengthening its portfolio in Poland with the opening of three new-built hotels in June and July, in top Polish cities Bydgoszcz, Gdansk and Krakow.

The group will open two Golden Tulip hotels, less then two years after its launch in Poland. The Golden Tulip Gdansk Residence will be situated close to the sea and will be developed by Qualia. It will feature a wellness centre, a sauna, spa pools and a swimming pool.

The Golden Tulip hotel in Krakow is located in the Old Town near the Market Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It will offer 86 guestrooms and a range of leisure and business facilities.

The opening of a 117-room Campanile hotel in Bydgoszcz will be the 10th hotel of the brand in Poland and will be located on the city’s main artery, Jagiellonska Avenue.

The group is also planning to move forward with expansion strategies in Lithuania and Ukraine by the end of the year.

Matthieu Evrard, Chief Development Officer of Louvre Hotels Group said: “With these new openings, Louvre Hotels Group confirms its position as one of the most active and dynamic hotel chains in Poland.

“The Group is also developing in neighbouring countries and will open its first hotels in Donetsk, Ukraine, and in Vilnius, Lithuania, in the 4th quarter of 2013.”

These three new openings represent a growth of 30 per cent in Louvre Hotels Group’s portfolio in Poland. At the end of July, the Group will manage 16 hotels in Poland, representing 1,900 rooms.
