Thirteen floors and 1,240 rooms: a mega-hotel on the Baltic Sea coast is about to open – but this is where the real snag lies.
Next Wednesday, the largest hotel on the Baltic Sea, in the Polish resort of Pobierowo, will open its doors to guests, according to BILD. The hotel covers 180,000 square metres, has 1,240 rooms and 13 floors.

As for its location: Pobierowo has around 1,000 inhabitants and lies just half an hour from the holiday island of Usedom.
The five-star hotel belongs to the Gołębiewski hotel chain. Rooms can already be booked, starting at 350 euros per night. A suite costs up to 900 euros per night.
There is, however, a catch: of the 1,240 rooms, only 500 have been completed. The rooms measure 50 square metres; many have a balcony, although not all offer sea views.
Marketing chief Marta Maslowska says that more than 2,000 bookings came in within the first 24 hours alone.
Not everyone will be able to marvel at the mega-hotel this summer. Those who do manage to secure a room can reach the sunny Baltic Sea beach just 150 metres away.
Directly in front of the hotel is a pool with an overall length of 104 metres and a width of 60 metres. But that is not all. Guests can look forward to a water park, indoor pools, whirlpools, a children’s area and a sauna, as well as water slides and a salt grotto.
It is not yet known whether all the attractions will be ready in time. According to BILD, in addition to the wellness area the hotel is also planning activities for adventure seekers: they include climbing walls, a cinema, a bowling alley, a supermarket, volleyball courts, a disco and entertainment for children.
Music lovers can enjoy live piano music from a pianist in the lobby.
The mega-hotel is the brainchild of the late entrepreneur Tadeusz Golebiewski. He started out as a waffle baker, then in 1972 founded the biscuit manufacturer Tago and later built up a hotel empire.
