There’s a new place to stay in the center of Gdańsk – and it’s inspired by the way people actually travel today. Prize by Radisson has just opened its first hotel in Poland Prize by Radisson, Gdańsk: 125 rooms on Żabi Kruk Street, 300 meters from the Motława River, in one of the Baltic’s most walkable and culturally rich cities.
The opening marks the entry of Radisson Hotel Group’s lifestyle midscale brand into the Polish market – and Gdańsk, with its mix of history, design, gastronomy, and growing international appeal, is exactly the kind of city Prize was made for.
A hotel that gets out of the way – in the best sense
Travelers coming to Gdańsk don’t need a hotel that competes with the city. They need one that makes it easy to enjoy it. That’s the idea behind Prize by Radisson: central location, smart design, fair price, and no unnecessary extras slowing you down.
Rooms are designed for comfort and clarity: functional, well thought-out, and free of clutter. The ground floor is built around the brand’s signature social hub: an open space where lobby, restaurant, and bar flow into one another. It’s where you start your morning with coffee and a rough plan for the day, check in with friends or colleagues over lunch, or wind down with a drink after walking the waterfront at sunset. No dress code, no stiffness, just a space that adapts to your rhythm.
“Gdańsk is a city that people fall in love with the moment they start walking through it, and that’s exactly the kind of experience we want to support. Our role is to give guests a great place to start their day, a comfortable room to come back to, and a space on the ground floor where they feel welcome whether they’re here for two nights or a full week. We want to make it easy for people to enjoy this city at their own pace, and that’s what Prize by Radisson does best,” says Joanna Jankowska, General Manager at Prize by Radisson, Gdańsk.
Step outside and you’re already there
Gdańsk’s Old Town – colorful merchant houses along the Long Market, Neptune’s Fountain, the towering St. Mary’s Basilica, the medieval Crane on the river – is minutes away on foot.
But what makes the city genuinely exciting right now goes beyond the postcard sights: a food scene stretching from traditional pierogi spots and Baltic seafood to craft beer bars and modern bistros; easy access to sandy beaches in Brzeźno and Sopot when you want a change of pace; and a creative, local energy that rewards anyone willing to wander a little further.
The hotel sits close enough to the landmarks to be convenient, but just far enough to put you in a real neighborhood – the kind of spot where you discover your own version of the city.
Part of a bigger story
Prize by Radisson currently counts over 20 properties in operation and under development across Europe. The Gdańsk opening follows the successful launch of Prize by Radisson, Osnabrück City in late 2025 – the first hotel under the refreshed brand identity – and precedes further openings including Wrocław and Berlin. Poland is part of a broader push to bring the lifestyle midscale concept to new markets where travelers are looking for well-designed, well-located, and fairly priced places to stay.
Joep Peeters, Chief Operating Officer Franchise EMEA, adds: “Poland is a market we’ve been looking at closely, and Gdańsk is exactly the right city to introduce Prize by Radisson here. There’s a growing demand from travelers who want quality, design, and a central location without the premium price tag, and that’s the space this brand was built for. The opening is an important step in our European expansion, and we’re already looking ahead to further Prize openings in Poland and beyond.“
