The Art Hotel has for years been a cultural meeting place where various forms of art have the opportunity to present themselves in full glory. These historic interiors host many inspiring meetings with authors, romantic concerts as well as many projects promoting and supporting the work of local artists. Our hotel has often been a stage for the performances of the Ad Spectatores Theatre and the backdrop for film productions by famous directors. Thus, it’s a real bomb of artistic and intellectual experiences.

Meetings with art at the Art Hotel

Since 1996, we have been creating an art-saturated space at the Art Hotel, where culture permeates everyday life and the interiors are filled with works by local artists. Since 2016, we have been thriving on the Art Academy project, and as part of this beautiful initiative, we have already organised many cultural events, including numerous meetings with authors, concerts and workshops. Our hotel attracts creators and enthusiasts of theatre, literature, film and music, thus, having been an inspiring enclave for artists for nearly 3 decades now.

Theater in a hotel room

We have been cooperating with the Ad Spectatores Theatre, known for its innovative approach to the stage art, for years now and it makes us very happy. We have been brought together by artistic energy and this has resulted, among other things, in the creation of the ‘Room Service’ play. It’s an intimate performance which engages the audience in a non-obvious way and becomes a bridge for an exchange between actor and audience, between fiction and reality. The play was created specifically for the Art Hotel and it is performed exclusively here.

Literature is our cup of tea

We organise inspiring author meetings where we host writers, poets and publicists. Moreover, we also cooperate with the EMG publishing house and actively co-create events accompanying literary festivals, such as the International Crime Fiction Festival and the Bruno Schulz Festival. A part of our rich library is the fruit of various literature-related activities – autographed books delight our Guests, who reach out to their reading with joy.

We are true gourmets of literature and it is our great pleasure to share it with others. With the youngest adepts of the reading art in mind, and as a result of our friendship with the Czas Dzieci (Children’s Time) Foundation, an unusual (and tasty!) literary menu has been created. It is a recommendation of three sets of books for children of different age ranges (pre-school, early childhood and school) presented in the form of a starter, a main dish and a dessert.

Cinema and film festivals

Our cultural acitivities also extend to the world of film. We have been cooperating for years with, amongst others, the Nowe Horyzonty Cinema (New Horizons Cinema). Our facility hosts directors, actors and scriptwriters too. The Art Hotel has also, on more than one occasion, become the backdrop for film adaptations, e.g. “Wygrany” (“The Winner’) directed by Wiesław Saniawski or “Skołowani” (‘Confused’) by Jan Macierewicz.

Summer concerts and music evenings

Music is yet another pillar of our cultural activity. Not only do we cooperate with the Vertigo Jazz Club and talented artists as part of the Vertigo Summer Jazz festival, but we also organise our own concerts, inviting great musicians to enter our artistic world. Our concerts are often accompanied by the sounds of a piano which is, mind you, more than one hundred years old and adorns the interiors of the Theatre Room every day. Our stage stars can really bring out the best of it!

During the 20th anniversary of the Art Restaurant, music played a particularly vital role. A duo of artists - Piotr Pakowski (piano) and Kamil Wrzos (vocals) – enriched our anniversary celebrations with their music and singing.

Literary walks

History is a part of a culture too and we cannot deny it. That’s why, during the 20th anniversary of the Art Hotel’s existence, we decided to organise a series of guided literary walks. We believe that art and history are so much more than tales of the past only. For us, it’s also a source of inspiration to create new stories that our reality writes every day.

At the Art Hotel, culture is alive! It's a breathing, impressive being, almost human! Come and take part in our events, experience the art in these soulful boutique interiors.
