Andel's Hotel Pool

The pool at Vienna House Andel's is a rooftop pool in a four-star hotel opened in May 2009 in a historic building that was formerly a cotton spinning mill belonging to Izrael Poznański. Enclosed in glass, the pool offers views of Łódź and the city panorama regardless of weather, creating a unique combination of recreation and clear views of the city's architectural landscape.

Architecture and building history

The hotel is located in Manufaktura, a revitalised complex of Poznański's textile factories. The cotton spinning mill building from Łódź's industrialisation period was given new purpose as one of the city's most modern hotels. The pool was adapted from a former water tank measuring 8m x 18m x 1.5m, discovered on the roof of the old factory during building renovation – this discovery made it possible to create one of the most interesting features of the hotel.

Pool characteristics

The pool is approximately 150 centimetres deep and is designed for recreational purposes, providing comfort and safety for swimmers. The glass structure enables swimming with views of Łódź's architecture, and the nearby factory buildings add a unique, historic character to the place. The pool is accessible to both hotel guests and non-guests for an additional fee, making it accessible to tourists and Łódź residents.
