Grand Hotel Łódź, commonly known as Hotel Grand, is a historic luxury hotel at 72 Piotrkowska Street, in the heart of Łódź, Poland. Operating almost continuously since 1887, it is one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. Following a refurbishment between 2019 and 2023, the hotel returned to its 5-star classification.
The first edifice which existed on the site was designed by Hilary Majewski, the chief architect of Łódź. In 1913, the hotel reopened after a major restoration and modernisation effort, with designs by Majewski and Dawid Lande. It was then that the hotel transitioned in architectural manner from historical Neo-Renaissance to Early Modernist. At the time, the opulent Grand Hotel hosted some of the most important celebrities in Poland, notably film starts, artists, musicians and politicians. In the 1940s, it was part of Poland's postwar political scene. However, it lost much of the architectural detail and its prestige declined in the 1970s and 1980s, only to resurface after the most recent restoration. Previously managed by the Polish travel agency Orbis, it has been owned by Holding Liwa hoteliers since 2008.
The Grand Hotel has 153 rooms, simultaneously offering extensive dining, wellness, fitness, and spa services, as well as individual guest treatments. There are two restaurants located within the facility, along with a cigar room, a private theatre-auditorium, conference halls and event space.
