A striking art-design hotel inside the Stary Browar complex, with keyless art-app rooms.

Reviewed and updated July 2026

Blow Up Hall 5050 is an art-design hotel set inside the Stary Browar complex in central Poznan. It leans hard into contemporary art, from the interiors to the way you get around the building, and it suits guests who want a stay with a strong design identity rather than a standard hotel. For the wider city, see the Poznan guide.

Art-app rooms and design

The design concept replaces keys and room numbers with an app that guides you to your room, part of the hotel's art-led approach. Rooms carry the same contemporary, gallery-like styling as the public spaces. This is a place built around a concept, so expect an experience that is more art project than conventional hotel.

Inside Stary Browar

The hotel sits within Stary Browar, an old brewery turned shopping and art centre just south of the old town. That puts shops, cafes and rotating exhibitions under the same roof, and the Stary Rynek is a walk to the north. The Poznan International Fair grounds, or MTP, lie across the centre near the main station and are reachable by tram.

Who Blow Up Hall suits

This is a stay for design and art enthusiasts, and for travellers who want to be inside a shopping and culture complex with the old town close by. Guests who prefer a traditional front desk and simple keys may find the concept less to their taste.

Around Stary Browar

You step straight into one of the city's landmark venues, with the old town nearby:

Stary Browar, the shopping and art centre around the hotel.
Stary Rynek, the market square, a walk to the north.
Ratusz i koziolki, the town hall on the square with its midday billy goats.

This is a five-star hotel, and after several years dark it has reopened. Practically, it sits about five minutes on foot from the Old Market Square and roughly a ten-minute drive from Poznań Główny station. Beyond the rooms there is the Arte restaurant, the b.bar and a small wellness area with a sauna and Valmont treatments. The confirmed address is ul. Tadeusza Kościuszki 42. For current room types, rates and restaurant hours, check the hotel's official website.

Good to know

The hotel uses an app in place of keys, so allow a little time to set this up on arrival. For rates, availability and booking, use the property's official channels.
