5 Best Hotels in Lodz, Excursions from Warsaw

Andel's by Vienna House Łódź

$$ | Ogrodowa 17, 91-065, Poland Fodor's Choice
Andel's, a chic, sylish choice with magnificent, post-industrial interiors, is in a former textile factory filled with artworks and colorful designer furniture. The historic space has been restored with great care, but this doesn't mean that the architects (Jestico + Whiles of London) compromised on quality or comfort. The rooms are pretty and comfortable, and the suites are even better. The hotel's restaurant and bar match classy interiors with great food and polite, efficient service. The hotel offers seven conference rooms, a ballroom for 800 people, and its pride: a glazed swimming pool in the upper floor, overlooking the city. Andel's is the hotel of choice for many visiting stars, having housed both Leonard Cohen and Justin Bieber.

Pros

  • Five-star design and comfort in a four-star hotel

Cons

  • Some basic (cheapest) rooms are a little bit small

Grand Hotel

$ | Piotrkowska 72, Lódz, 90-102, Poland

Perhaps the most historical hotel in Łódź, the 120-year-old Grand remembers Artur Rubinstein and a host of famous film directors and actors. Today this grandfather of a hotel is a little faded, but perfectly pleasant. The new owners, the Likus hotel group, have refreshed it a little and are planning a complete renovation and upgrade in a not-so-distant future. Until then, it certainly remains a value-for-money option, right in the middle of the city's most fashionable street, Piotrkowska.

Pros

  • Excellent location
  • Historical flavor at a bargain price

Cons

  • Not really so grand as the name would suggest
  • Rooms need an upgrade

Home & Travel

$ | Piotrkowska 21, Lódz, 90-406, Poland

Each of these simple but perfectly comfortable mini-flats (40 to 60 square meters [430 to 646 square feet]) has a kitchenette, TV, and Wi-Fi. The decor is a little bit outdated, and some may find it kitchy, but everything works and meets minimum standards. All apartments are in the center of town, in the Piotrkowska street location, the street of bars and nightlife. The company accepts most major credit cards.

Pros

  • Inexpensive parking
  • Central location for bars and nightlife

Cons

  • Slightly questionable decor

Hotel Revelo

$$ | Wigury 4, Lódz, 90-301, Poland

This tiny boutique hotel with only three rooms (advance booking is essential) occupies a grand 1925 villa. And the hotel remains true to the original style of the place: dark wood and stained-glass windows, along with a little magic and mystery. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and staying here is definitely an experience. In the same building, you will find a popular, classy restaurant.

Pros

  • Feels like a home away from home

Cons

  • Very small and often booked up
  • A bit far from the center

Hotel Tobaco

$ | Kopernika 64, 90-553, Poland Fodor's Choice
This boutique hotel in a historic cigarette factory is the top hotel in Łódź, offering far more than it's official three-star designation might suggest. The stylish, modern rooms and public spaces are very well designed, both aesthetically and practically, always keeping the needs of guests in the forefront. Despite its historic origins, this is a nonsmoking hotel, though its history is suggested through fragments of lovely red-brick walls, old ads, and other memorabilia found during the renovation. The hotel's well-regarded, popular restaurant serves scrumptious breakfast in the morning (included in the rates), as well as great à la carte meals for both hotel guests and locals alike. But the biggest treasure of this hotel is its staff, always helpful and polite in a very natural, easygoing way, who seem to love their work at Tobaco.

Pros

  • Excellent, friendly service
  • Great value for your money

Cons

  • Very popular, so it is often booked up
