Hotel Bruehl (Warsaw)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hotel Brühl (Polish: Hotel Brülowski , also called Hotel Brül , Hotel Bruhlowski or Hotel Bruhl ) was one of the most elegant Warsaw hotels. It was in a prominent location directly on the Saxon Garden , was destroyed in World War II and was not rebuilt afterwards.

History and architecture

The hotel was built around 1882 in downtown Warsaw . It was the final part to the southwest of the Wierzbowa-Fredry-Alberta I block. The address was Ulica Fredry 12 (a part of the street that no longer exists today) and formed a corner building to Ulica Alberta I (today Ulica Niecała). The broad front of the hotel faced the pond in the Saxon Garden. The south side of the building faced the rear of the also defunct Brühl-Palast on Sächsischer Platz . The architect was Witold Lanci . He built the hotel for Iser Cohen, who was to be succeeded as owner in 1920 by Aleksandra Borman. The hotel had five floors. It was destroyed in 1944. Today, in place of the former hotel, there is partly a lawn of the slightly enlarged Saxon Park, partly a narrower, elegant apartment house that was built in the early 2000s.

In a German travel guide from 1916, the "Hotel Brühl", located on Kotzebuestrasse, is offered with room prices from 3 marks. A Polish advertisement for the "Hotel Bruhl Warszawa" from 1937 named running cold and warm water as well as central heating and warm stoves at room prices from 5 złoty .

Guests of the hotel were among others Rudolf Asmis , Rolf Brandt Heinrich Sahm and Boris Wiktorowitsch Savinkow .
