Hotel "Bohema" in Bydgoszcz, Five-star hotel in central Bydgoszcz, Poland
Hotel Bohema occupies an eclectic tenement house at 9 Konarskiego Street, built in 1877 by master mason Anton Hoffmann. Its street facade shows neo-Renaissance features: a frieze and rosette strip between ground and first floors, two shallow avant-corps, and pilasters covered with motifs. The hotel has 24 rooms, from small singles to a 145 m² apartment, and a terrace with jacuzzi.
The tenement house was built in 1877 by master mason Anton Hoffmann, stepfather of architect Józef Święcicki, for German merchant Otto Bollmann, who never lived there. It held five apartments rented to senior officers, officials and artists, including mayor Julius Bachmann and painter Jerzy Rupniewski. In 1920 it passed to Magdalena Łaganowska; after communist management it returned to private hands in 1997. Owners Joanna and Janusz Franczak rebuilt it and opened Hotel Bohema in July 2008.
The hotel hosts the "Artists at Bohema" series, which since 2009 has brought figures such as Olga Tokarczuk, Krzysztof Zanussi and Daniel Olbrychski to the café Weranda. The restaurant Czarny Diament serves dinners in complete darkness, and the café has twice hosted Polish Radio Three's chart show.
The hotel offers 24-hour front desk service and a wellness center available to guests during their stay. Parking is conveniently located nearby, and most of the city's main sights can be reached on foot from the property.
Each room preserves original architectural elements from when the building was first constructed, including ceiling decorations and wooden window frames that have been carefully restored. These details vary from room to room, reflecting the way the house was originally furnished and decorated.
