Hotel operator Hotel Co 51 has introduced its fifth Marriott brand to its European portfolio with the opening of the Element by Westin® Wrocław - the operator's second Polish property.
The 115-room extended-stay property is only the second Element hotel in Europe. Each room incorporates a fully-equipped kitchen, spacious living areas and a spa-inspired bathroom. Guests will also be able to enjoy complimentary breakfasts and dine on-site in The Salon Restaurant.
In addition to a fitness area and meeting space for use throughout the day, the hotel also offers a dedicated laundry room plus underground on-site parking, including electric car charging.
Element Wrocław is the first hotel to open in the Wrocław Business Garden; an office campus to the east of the city centre that has established itself as one of Poland’s largest business parks since opening in 2017. With the six-hectare business park counting pharmaceutical companies, business services and IT leaders amongst its tenants, Element Wrocław is well-placed to service the expanding number of high-profile companies based in the city.
Guests can rent bikes and enjoy the Business Garden’s open grounds. Designed in the form of a large public garden, it incorporates relaxation zones, outdoor sports amenities and extensive cycling infrastructure.
The seven-storey hotel is also well serviced by the area’s tram and rail connections, enabling guests to explore the Wrocław Old Town and city centre in less than 15 minutes. This includes Wrocław-Mikołajów railway station, which is just a three-minute walk from the hotel, the Zachodnia tram stop, within a seven-minute stroll, plus a direct bus to the airport. Magnolia Park - the largest shopping mall in the region - is also within a 10-minute walk.
The property recently achieved Gold LEED certification and is in the process of securing the same Green Key certification as the operator’s other hotels. Initiatives to reduce the building’s carbon footprint and ensure optimal energy, water usage and waste management efficiency include high levels of thermal insulation and advanced ventilation systems.
Wayne Androliakos, CEO of Hotel Co 51, said: “We are delighted to be further strengthening our long-standing relationship with Marriott International with this thoughtfully-designed property in one of Poland’s most historic yet modern-minded cities. Element hotels were conceived to ensure guests wake up in their ‘element’ wherever their travels take them, and Wroclaw’s Business Garden’s green environment certainly provides a refreshing retreat for guests visiting this characterful city. We’re confident this inspiring long-stay lifestyle option will help redefine Poland’s aparthotel experience while giving business and leisure travellers a chance to feel truly at home when they stay with us.”
