"This Mercure in Kraków is our first hotel investment in such a unique place, which is an industrial development created at the turn of the 20' and 30' XIX century. For this hotel, we needed a strong and recognizable brand, which will be flexible enough to preserve the hotel's historical background and at the same time - will leave space for modern architecture, modern interiors and the newest technological solutions. Regardless of whether the guest arrives in business or for leisure time, we want Mercure Kraków Fabryczna City to be an exceptional experience for travelers" explains Stanisław Łukasik, owner of Inter-Bud Sp. zo.o. sp. k.
The hotel is already under construction and will offer 3,500 sq m of modern and very attractive conference facilities, 1000 sq m of fitness & spa area with a swimming pool, underground car park, bar and two restaurants, one of which will have its own brewery.
"This hotel will have an exceptionally attractive and rich offer for the MICE segment. The historical character will only underline the uniqueness of this investment. We feel honored that Inter-Bud has chosen the Mercure brand for this project. Krakow is today not only a tourist and business destination, but also a city that has its brand at the European and global level. We are sure that this investment is only the beginning of a larger cooperation between both companies. Krakow market still has room for new, more lifestyle hotels" adds Jacek Stasikowski, director of network development in the Orbis Group and Accor for Poland and the Baltic States.
Mixed-use projects that connect office, entertainment, shopping, service and residential space with history in the background enjoy growing popularity among developers and investors in Poland. The IMB Asymetria office is responsible for the architectural design of both historical buildings.
"Modernity of the Mercure Kraków Fabryczna City hotel will first of all manifest itself in newly designed elements and parts, added elements, superstructure fragments and in modern technology used in the interiors of buildings or passage spaces. Their character will differ from the historical fragments, emphasizing the difference between the preserved historical buildings and the new architecture while maintaining a subtle harmony of modernity with aesthetics of the architecture of the bygone era. This hotel will be unique because it will create a new architectural value, not competing but coexisting with historical buildings" explains Krystyna Pawlik from the IMB Asymetriaoffice.
