About Poland Hotels
Prior to the transition from a centralized command economy, there was a large network of state owned and state run hotels. Some were good and others were adequate. But once the economy changed to a market economy a building and conversion boom started. New hotels continue to be built today. The old communist era operations have been upgraded and many compete with the best in the world.
The cities of Warsaw and Krakow are two of the most popular tourist stops in Poland. And in each of these cities you get a fine selection of new and renovated tourist accommodations. For instance, in the center of Krakow, near the most popular part of the city, the Old Town, hotels that served visitors to Poland for years have been totally refurbished. The exteriors are still the historic exteriors that lend charm to this famous city in Poland, but the interiors are the best that can be.
In Warsaw, the building spree that started as soon as the economic transition began has not yet ended. The city is doted with new facilities owned by the world's major hotel chains. And all the old buildings have been renovated to one extent or another. Some of the oldest and worst have gone from a state of disaster to top notch.
Beyond the physical renovation of the buildings, the service level has gone from almost non existent to excellent.
One of the American hotels in Poland was the early leader in Poland training its service staff. Other operators hired their trainees and used them to set up their own staff training programs. Today, with many major chains having locations in Poland, much training is done on foreign locations as well as on location training being done by training staffs sent to Poland on temporary assignment.
As the economy has expanded and businesses moved to some of the smaller cities, meaning not Krakow and not Warsaw, chains and private operators have looked to the requirements of other regions of Poland. So as it stands, every city where there is any tourist or business traffic is served by at least one excellent hotel.
There is a building boom in Warsaw of three star hotels. They should be on line by 2010.
