ARCHE Dwór Uphagena Gdańsk is a four-star design hotel at Prof. Kieturakisa 1, 80-742 Gdańsk, on the southern edge of Śródmieście near Dolne Miasto. It occupies restored historic brick buildings finished in an industrial-chic style. The hotel takes its name from the Uphagen family, the merchant dynasty behind the famous Uphagen House on Długa Street. Travelers book it for its spa, its two distinctive dining venues, and its walking access to the Main Town.
What to Expect at ARCHE Dwór Uphagena Gdańsk
Rooms are understated and modern. Exposed brick, steel and timber details recall the buildings’ working past without sacrificing comfort. Beyond standard rooms, the hotel rents out an apartment for longer stays. It also sells themed packages, such as a Christmas Market stay and a family-history offer called Wizyta u Rodziny Uphagenów. A virtual tour and a self-guided outdoor sightseeing game help guests explore the grounds and the story behind them.
Dining runs through two venues. Restauracja Stara Kuchnia (Old Kitchen) serves Polish and Pomeranian-leaning dishes in a historic setting.
