History
Hotel Podewils occupies a Baroque manor house on Gdańsk's Motława quay, built in 1727-28 by the stonemason Krzysztof Strzycki at Szafarnia 2, near the drawbridge to Ołowianka Island. The house is known historically as Dom pod Murzynkiem from the coat of arms on its portal.
Carefully restored under the supervision of the monument conservator, the building now houses an intimate five-star boutique hotel of ten rooms, retaining its period character alongside a later renovation in 2012. The operator, Hotel Podewils Sp. z o.o., also runs Zamek Podewils in Krąg.
