All but destroyed during WWII, and by a subsequent fire in 1970, the property was purchased by Star Group Poland, then transformed into one of Europe’s finest boutique hotels.

Elegance and comfort where beer was made.

Suites with custom designed furnishings, restaurant Mennicza Fusion, pampering at the hotel’s WaySPA, intimate conference and business settings, your visit to central Wroclaw could not begin from a better home away from home.
