Hotel Number One by Grano

Hotel Number One by Grano is a design-led boutique hotel on Granary Island (Wyspa Spichrzow), the strip of reclaimed land across the Motlawa from the Main Town. It has rooftop views over the old town and contemporary interiors set right on the water. This is one of the more stylish places to stay in central Gdansk.

The look is modern and considered, with contemporary interiors rather than traditional decor. The rooftop is the highlight, giving a clear view across the river to the historic roofline. For room categories, which rooms face the water and current rates, check the hotel's official channels; the specifics change and are best taken from the source.

Granary Island sits directly opposite the Main Town, linked by footbridges over the Motlawa. It has been redeveloped in recent years into a run of hotels, restaurants and riverside promenades, so you have places to eat on your doorstep and the old town a two-minute walk across the water. The position gives you the historic core and a quieter riverside base at the same time.

This one suits travellers who care about design and want a central, waterside base with a view. Couples and city-break visitors are the natural fit. If you are looking for a large full-service resort or a rock-bottom budget bed, other options will serve you better.

You are across the river from the heart of Gdansk:

• Dlugi Targ i Dluga, the Royal Route, a short walk over the footbridge.
• Zuraw, the medieval crane on the far bank.
• Bazylika Mariacka, in the Main Town beyond.

For the wider city, see the Gdansk guide.

One point worth flagging for anyone booking: the hotel has been rebranded and now trades as Grano Life Gdansk, part of the Grano group that runs a cluster of properties on Granary Island. If you search under the old Number One name you may be redirected to the new listing.

The setting is unchanged. It sits on the reclaimed strip of Wyspa Spichrzow, across the Motlawa from the Main Town, so the historic waterfront roofline is directly opposite. Confirm current room categories, which rooms face the water and rates through the hotel's official channels.
