City Park Hotel & Residence
Historic military barracks reimagined as a luxury complex — 19th-century red brick meets contemporary glass and designer interiors. Feels more like an upscale urban village than a conventional hotel. Quiet, gated, and green.
Book a Deluxe or Missoni/Cavalli Suite in the main building for direct access to the spa, pool, and Cucina 88 restaurant — Classic and Executive rooms are in a separate building
Why It Matters
Cucina 88 holds a Michelin Guide mention and Gault & Millau 2 caps (13 points, 2026). Whisky Bar 88 was named Best Hotel Bar in Poland three times running and stocks over 1,000 whiskies including a Glenfiddich 50 Years Old. Every room is at least 43 sqm — a genuine market rarity in Poland. The whole property is an independent standout in a city otherwise dominated by international chains.
City Park Hotel & Residence occupies the site of a former 19th-century cavalry barracks in Poznań's Grunwald district, flanked by two parks. The landmark red-brick buildings have been joined by modern glass annexes and covered passageways, creating a sprawling campus that's more like a self-contained neighborhood than a hotel. You've got the rooms, yes, but also a brewery, a designer-suite collection, a Michelin Guide-recognized restaurant, an L'Occitane spa under a glass dome, a whisky bar with over 1,000 expressions, and a retail gallery — all within the same gated complex. The standard rooms start at 43 sqm, which the hotel claims is the largest standard footprint of any hotel in Poland. That checks out.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Classic
The entry-level room and it's still 43 sqm at minimum — the official claim is this is Poland's largest standard room footprint. Set in the residential building adjacent to the shopping gallery and Cappuccina café. No direct spa access from this building; you'll need to walk to the main Deluxe building. Modern kitchenette with induction cooktop and microwave, 65-inch HD TV, and concierge assistance included.
43 sqm
Deluxe
5-star rated rooms in the main building, with direct access to the wellness zone, City Garden SPA, and Cucina 88. King size bed, L'Occitane toiletries, a proper bathroom suite, electrically-controlled skylights — reviewers flag these for flooding the room with light on summer mornings, so bring an eye mask. Robes and slippers included, turn-down service too.
King · 43 sqm
Executive
The largest accommodation tier — proper two-room apartments running from 85 to 120 sqm. Separate living room and bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, extra toilet, and two TVs (55-inch in the living room, 65-inch in the bedroom). Nespresso included. These are in the residential building near the shopping gallery, so not directly adjacent to the spa.
King · 85 sqm
Missoni Suite / Cavalli Suite
Named suites with a fashion-house identity — Missoni or Roberto Cavalli-themed interiors. At 60 sqm they're comfortably larger than the standard rooms, with a separate dining area and a Nespresso machine alongside the full kitchenette. The 85-inch LCD TV is a statement in itself. Located in the main building with direct spa and wellness access.
