ABOUT

Hotel Glar Conference & SPA
Wisełka - Wolin - Poland 2024
ABOUT
The hotel's uniqueness lies in its ability to harmonize with its surroundings, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking flora and fauna preserved by the nearby National Park, one of the richest in all of Poland. The essence of nature permeates every corner of the hotel, creating an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility that invites guests to unwind and reconnect with themselves.

The four-star Glar Conference & SPA Hotel stands on the shore of Lake Wisełka in the peaceful village of the same name, just 10 kilometers from the bustling resort life of Międzyzdroje and 1.5 kilometers from the sea coast. This corner of Poland, distant from the center of our country, is very close to the residents of Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. They come here eagerly to enjoy the sun, sandy beaches, the charms of the Wolin National Park, and excellent golf courses. The hotel hosts also prepared an offer for families with children, conference organizers, and large social gatherings, as well as those seeking blissful relaxation in the spa.
With 8 distinct room configurations catering to every need, from intimate retreats to family getaways, Glar ensures a personalized experience for every guest. Some rooms have a bathroom open to the room, others with a work desk and dressing table, and others – for families – with two sleeping areas and an expanded mini-kitchen. Those expecting the highest level of comfort can enjoy apartments with individualized interiors, a bathing room, and the most attractive view from a spacious terrace.
Several important design threads connect all types of rooms. We left raw ceiling casts wherever possible, manifesting a return to wabi-sabi aesthetics – finding charm in imperfection. The idea for a frieze with a circle motif, formed in coarse-grained plaster, came from writing with a finger in the sand. Sinks made from grooved boulders refer to an important phenomenon for Baltic nature, the erosion of rocks, where the seemingly soft water can shape hard stone, explains Karol Pasternak. In contrast to this rawness, additional textured threads were introduced: smooth glass, soft fabrics with thick weaves, and brushed wood finished as if the sea had washed it ashore in the Wolin National Park. They carry the inspiration of what is eternal on Wolin Island; water, amber, and centuries-old craftsmanship.
