Front Park, Sun & Snow

Front Park, Sun & Snow Overview

Front Park, Sun & Snow sits on 25 Sadowa, just a couple of blocks from the buzzing heart of Gdańsk’s Old Town. I first spotted the building when I was strolling along the Motława River, the sky a bruised purple as the boats drifted past. The front desk was a bright, modern space with a couple of locals chatting over coffee; the staff welcomed me with a warm “Dzień dobry” that felt more like a friendly hello than a hotel greeting. The check‑in was quick—no long lines, just a friendly face sliding a digital key into my phone, and a note about the 24‑hour reception. Parking was a breeze; I found a free spot in the public lot just a block away, and the city’s electric bike share was only a few steps from the entrance. The only thing that ticked me out was the faint buzz of traffic at the street level early in the morning, but the rooms were sound‑sealed enough that I could actually sleep through the city’s pulse.

The rooms at Front Park, Sun & Snow are a mix of modern chic and cozy polish touches. The bed—think high‑quality sheets with a hint of lavender—was surprisingly large for a 4‑star, and the view from the window was a panoramic slice of the city skyline, just before dawn when the sky turned from pink to deep blue. The bathroom was a small sanctuary, with a rainfall shower that made you feel like you were on a luxury spa trip, and the toiletries were locally made, which I adore. The Wi‑Fi was fast, and the TV had a decent selection of local Polish stations—great for catching a quick news update before heading out. I did notice that the minibar had a limited selection, but there’s a decent market on the corner of Długa Street where you can grab anything from fresh pierogi to craft soda.

Dining-wise, the on‑site bistro is a hidden gem. They serve a breakfast that feels like a family kitchen—pancakes, smoked salmon, and a strong Polish coffee that wakes you up faster than a shot of espresso. Lunch was a hearty pierogi platter, and the chef even offered a sample of their homemade kartacze, a creamy mushroom soup that reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen. If you’re looking to explore beyond the hotel, the area is packed with history: a quick walk takes you to the 13th‑century St. Mary’s Church, the bustling Old Town Square, and the dramatic Royal Way. The only downside I found was that the hotel’s lobby sounds a bit “hotel‑ish” at night, but honestly, that’s a small price to pay for staying in such a vibrant part of Gdańsk. If you’re planning a trip and want a place that feels like a home base rather than a showroom, Front Park, Sun & Snow is a solid pick—especially if you’re hoping to catch the city’s sunrise over the harbor or just need a comfortable, well‑located spot to recharge.
