The Hotel “Bałtyk” in Międzyzdroje has been thoroughly modernised after many years of oblivion. Extensive renovation work has just been completed, restoring three historic buildings to their former glory, forming the modern Baltic Luxury Residence complex. This investment is one of the most important renovation projects in the region. Thanks to the efforts of the Meritum company, the neglected buildings, which for nearly 30 years have been the infamous landmark of Międzyzdroje, are once again pleasing to the eye and are a great ornament of the Polish coast.
Hotel “Bałtyk” in Międzyzdroje – preserving heritage
The “Bałtyk” complex, set in the picturesque landscape of the seaside promenade, has retained its unique character. The oldest part of the complex is a 19th century building with a turret, erected in a half-timbered construction, which is an example of traditional spa architecture of Western Pomerania. The round building from the 1920s, on the other hand, represents early modernism, introducing modern accents into the historic surroundings. The tenement at 6 Rybacka Street was built in the early 20th century in the typical style of the period. The renovation of all three buildings was carried out with great attention to detail. Cooperation with the conservation officer allowed the original architectural elements and the spirit of the historic spa to be preserved. As part of the work, it was also possible to establish the original pastel pink colour of the rotunda.
The rich history of the complex
The origins of the Hotel Seeblick date back to the 19th century, when it was owned by Hermann Schultz. At that time, the building was already an important element of the seaside landscape, distinguished by its wooden construction and spacious interiors. In the 1920s, the complex passed into the hands of Paul Brandenburg, who initiated the construction of a new restaurant and hotel building in the spirit of modernism. At the time, the complex offered a high standard, which attracted numerous guests and visitors from all over Germany. The building survived the Second World War undamaged, and after the war it served as the “Baltic” holiday home, administered by the army. In 1995, it came into private hands, but remained abandoned for many years. It was not until 2017 that the Szczecin-based company Meritum undertook its extensive renovation, restoring the building to its former glory and adapting it to the modern requirements of the luxury hotel market.

Baltic Luxury Residence – luxury in a historic setting
Today, located in the representative part of Międzyzdroje, the Baltic Luxury Residence complex offers 52 flats with areas ranging from 30 to 91.91 square metres, providing a high premium standard. Residents’ amenities include a 24-hour marble-lined swimming pool, a spa & wellness area, an exclusive restaurant and a panoramic terrace. Also, some flats offer breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea. The interiors and each unit have been finished with the highest quality materials, including natural stone, wood and designer interior design elements. Spacious balconies, historic window divisions and carefully selected lighting enhance the elegance and prestige of the complex.
Hotel “Bałtyk” – the new life of a city icon
Thanks to the modernisation carried out, the former “Bałtyk” hotel in Międzyzdroje has regained its splendour, combining history with modern luxury. The Baltic Luxury Residence is an example of a successful renovation, restoring one of the city’s most recognisable buildings. Until recently, the building was a deterrent with its broken windows and dilapidated façade, arousing grief and incomprehension among passers-by for such a state. Now the entire complex has been given the go-ahead and can once again welcome lovers of the Baltic beaches and the atmosphere of a historic resort.
