A foundation stone was set up to the building of the Radisson hotel rising on the Main City in Gdansk. The standard of this hotel will be fitted to the prestige of the place in which is coming into existence – an investor is assuring. Four-star hotel will entertain the first guests in autumn 2007.
On the area between the Long Market, Powroźnicza, Ogarna and Mieszczańska Streets, where formerly the Jantar Hotel stood on, for a few years there is a hole in the ground with rising from the side of Long Market and supported with special scaffoldings wall - former facade of the hotel. After a few years of protracting demolishing, archaeological and stabilizing soil jobs, the allotment in the centre of the Main City finally turn into the true construction site where since the February this year conducting works is carrying a building company Allcon – For 16-18 months the hotel will entertain the first guests – assures Mariusz Białek the President of the Board of Allcon.
What we will see when workers already finish work? The front door to the hotel will be found of course by the Long Market. It will lead guests into the space stylized on the Gdansk hall. On the last floor is so-called presidential apartment with windows facing to the Long Market, The Hall of the Main City and the Green Gate.
In depths of the building a glass atrium in which the main reception desk will be put and entering for motorized passengers will be found. In this part an outstanding majority of around 135 rooms which will come into existence in Radisson will also be found.
History of the hotel construction by the Long Market is reaching at least year 2000 when a Rezydent company bought the formerly, deteriorating Jantar hotel with the thought about the thorough modernization and raising the standard. However it turned out that the technical condition of the building was so bad that the modernization isn't possible and it is necessary to build the hotel completely from bases.
It is possible to go for the bet that then the decision about demolishing the building was for investors from the Rezydent company like a nightmare. The amount of archaeological discoveries and necessities of detailed arrangements with living next door the Regional Pomeranian Monumental Conservator caused that construction works incessantly had protracted. But setting the cornerstone in up to foundations means that builders should not already come across next problems. / Dziennik Bałtycki, 27.04.2006
