The Best Hotels in Łódź
Łódź, the third-largest city in Poland, has played a considerable role in the history and economy of the country. It was once a titan of manufacturing, a history you can explore at the Central Museum of Textiles or the shopping centre Manufaktura, which is housed in a former industrial estate. It’s served by a hearty selection of hotels – former factories included – the best of which are found below.
1. PURO Hotel Łódź Centrum
Hotel
True to the name, PURO Hotel Łódź Centrum stands in the centre of town, diagonally opposite Staromiejski Park and facing the grand former palace, now a museum. Modern yet homely minimalism rules in the rooms while their temperature- and light-adjusting tablets lend a slice of slightly gratuitous tech. Public areas are almost showy: decorative filament bulbs and bulbous pendant lamps illuminate textured walls, coffered ceilings and carpets swirling with vegetal patterns. For foodies, there’s a so-called healthy snack lab along with a bowl-only Thai restaurant.
2. Qubus Hotel Łódź
Hotel
The red brick-style exterior may remind you of an office block, but inside you’ll find a practical, comfortable retreat suited to weekend breakers. An industrial-chic look pervades the public areas and the small Polish-centric restaurant, all faced with pleasing floor-to-ceiling windows. Compact rooms are unfussy and practical with cream-white walls, dark wood-veneer furniture, striped tub chairs and patterned carpets.
3. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Łódź
Hotel
Opposite Poniatowskiego, one of the largest parks in the city, the gleaming glass-fronted DoubleTree is an angular beacon of modernity. The high-rise looks and feels like an upscale business hotel, but with sufficient leisure tints to snag tourists. Rooms are straightforward and almost stylish, while public areas have enough groovy lighting and arty design to tick the urban-cool box. The lofty indoor infinity pool has rim-to-ceiling windows with satisfying bird’s-eye park views.

7. Andel's Hotel

8. Łódzki Palacyk

9. Hotel Grand

10. B&B Hotel Łódź Centrum
Hotel
In the heart of Łódź, this no-frills hotel offers cheery, snazzy accommodation tinged with a bit of minimalist Scandi-cool. Functional yet still equipped with desks and TVs, the rooms have a simplicity that is almost jovially offset by tinted wall-sized images of classical facades behind the beds. There’s a small breakfast cafe and a meeting room, too, but the hotel really wins on location – placing guests within easy walking distance of most of the main sights.
