Who are we?
Art Hotel is not just a building, a history, but above all, it is people with great hearts full of passion. We are pleased to be part of a company that not only fulfills its primary function of being a hotel but above all creates a friendly meeting place with culture, art, and other people. Our mission is to be present in society on many levels. We do everything to multiply good and thus teach ourselves
and others how not to be indifferent to others' misfortunes. We confirm our words with actions. At Art Hotel, we have often hosted participants of the Polsat television program “Our New Home” and organized collections among employees for those in need. Our goal is always summarized in the slogan: “together we can do more,” which is why we also encourage hotel guests to support our initiatives. We never wanted to be a purely commercial place. We wanted to have a voice and a real impact on our surroundings and thus belong to the local community. We have been working on our plans for over 25 years.
Pet-friendly Art Hotel
In our hotel, we are united not only by our love for people but also for animals. They are always welcome here. We understand how important the relationship is between an owner and their pet. We are also aware that often, in the case of travel, it is difficult – and sometimes even impossible – to leave a four-legged friend at home. Therefore, at Art Hotel, we are prepared for stays with dogs and cats. We dedicate a special starter kit for our four-legged guests, which includes bowls, bedding, and – if necessary – a litter box. We try to take care of them just as well as we do their owners.
About the beginnings of a beautiful friendship with Ekostraż
We had the pleasure of implementing various projects related to animals but – as they say – “the appetite grows with eating.” We came to the conclusion that we need someone from whom we can learn to help animals on a larger scale. A deep desire awoke in us to build a permanent, closer relationship with an organization that supports pro-animal initiatives and enjoys public trust. We wanted the fruit of such a relationship to be long-term cooperation that would allow us to engage in various tasks and directions. “Moreover, we know that a constant mutual exchange of experiences creates the best possible solutions and builds mutual trust” – says Agnieszka Radzikowska, director of Art Hotel in Wrocław.
We initially defined the scope of assistance we would like to give to a certain institution. We then began the search for a specific organization. Unfortunately, the pandemic effectively thwarted our plans for two years. When we returned to accomplishing our original objectives, with the help of Wrocław friends, we managed to establish contact with Marta Zienkiewicz-Barańska from the Wrocław Ekostraż. “When I met Marta, literally within a few minutes of conversation, I knew we would find a common language and do something good,” says Anna Wałęsa, marketing and public relations manager at Art Hotel.
During the conversation, new ideas were born, and the first declarations were made. We were delighted with the approach and care for animals at the Animal Protection Association “Ekostraż” in Wrocław. We want not only to help occasionally but also to support the foundation in educating society about pragmatic assistance to animals. We hope to conduct educational workshops for parents and children on how to care for pets, particularly in preparation for adoption.
The Wrocław Ekostraż has been rescuing domestic and wild animals for 12 years, as well as educating and defending animal rights in court. They have collaborated with the city of Wrocław to protect hedgehogs in the city that are endangered while “wandering” at night through urban areas. We hope that educational panels on this topic can also be organized inside Art Hotel. We are confident that through such cooperation and knowledge, both the residents of Wrocław and our Guests from various parts of Poland will benefit.
Common mission
A special mission regarding animals is to encourage the local (and not only) community to adopt consciously. We would like to give animals a chance for a new home that they deserve and wait for for long years. One of the proposals encouraging adoption is our offer of free stay in the hotel for adopted pets. “Collections are constantly needed,” says Marta Zienkiewicz-Barańska from the Wrocław Ekostraż. The demand is enormous, which is why we want to contribute a brick from ourselves. We will publish Ekostraż's collections and support them in their overarching noble mission. We remain in constant contact and will be kept informed about ongoing actions and initiatives. Details of the collections will appear on both Art Hotel and Ekostraż channels. The essence of our cooperation will be a donation of 30% of the revenue from paid pet stays at Art Hotel to Ekostraż. Together, we hope that our relationships and collaboration will develop successfully and fruitfully, and our Guests and the local community will appreciate the initiatives we undertake. We want to inspire others to take similar actions.
