The Oldest Hotel Accommodation in Poland
Zamek Kliczków was founded in 1297 as a border fortress on the banks of the River Kwisa, near Zgorzelec not far from the existing border with Germany. First a fortress, then a palace, it was formally converted into a hotel with paying guests in the 1990s and has 89 rooms including 9 apartments.
The oldest known formal hotel in Poland may be considered to be the neoclassical style Hotel Bazar in Poznań, established in 1857 it is still in operation today, located in the centre of Poznań with 93 rooms.
It’s worth noting, it’s tricky to say definitively which is the oldest hotel accommodation in Poland, because the concept of formal hotels as we understand them today began to emerge in the 19th century. Before that, accommodations were often provided by inns, guesthouses, or private residences. The precursor to the modern hotel was the inn of medieval Europe from the mid-17th century, coaching inns served as a place for lodging for coach travelers, but facilities offering hospitality to travellers featured in early civilizations. Guinness World Records officially recognised Japan’s Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, founded in 705, as the oldest hotel in the world.
