Poland’s second branded Marriott Hotel to open in Sopot
Marriott International has entered into an agreement with Vastint Poland, the owner of Mera Spa Hotel in Sopot, and Legend Hotels Poland, the operator of the property, on the conversion of Mera Spa into Marriott Hotel. The opening of the hotel under the new brand is scheduled in mid-2017.
“I strongly believe that the guests will welcome the planned changes with satisfaction and will continue to choose the hotel as a preferred holiday destination. In June 2015 we opened Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Gdynia and we are very pleased with the current cooperation. I believe that the new project will also prove to be a success,” said Roger Andersson, Managing Director at Vastint Poland.
“Based on our strong position in other European markets, we are pleased with the rapid expansion in Poland, and at the same time we are proud to have the opportunity to work with partners such as Vastint Poland and Legend Hotels. By bringing Marriott Hotels to Sopot, we can offer our guests the highest level of services associated with one of the greatest icons of our brand portfolio,” said Janusz Mitulski, Director of Development for Central & Eastern Europe at Marriott International.
Mera Spa Hotel first opened in May 2012. The four-storey building with an area of 17,000 m2 will be adapted to the needs and standard of the new brand. The hotel area of the multi-use complex will feature 145 guest rooms. In addition to standard rooms, romantic rooms and family rooms, there are also five individually designed suites. There will be two restaurants, an event centre and three indoor swimming pools at the guests’ disposal. A fourth pool is located on the rooftop, and offers an exceptional view of the Baltic Sea. The highest attraction of the complex remains SPA & Wellness zone. The SPA contains 35 treatment and beauty studio rooms, a relaxation zone, with features such as saunas and Jacuzzi tubs.
“Joining the Marriott International family gives the property a far better opportunity to enhance on standards and offers around the year, by taking advantage of this premium brand. Our centre focus will obviously remain on our Spa and hotel operations, for which the Mera Spa Hotel had gained a fantastic reputation over the last four years since its opening,” said Michael JJ Stenner, General Manager of the Mera Spa Hotel.
