Hotel Quadrille Relais & Châteaux
Gdynia, Poland
Orlowo
Vibe
Fantastical sculptures dot the surrounding parkland, while velvet armchairs, whimsical wallpaper, and storybook illusions create an intimate adults-only palace hideaway.
“Surrealist palace hideaway”
Black-and-white checkerboard floors, whimsical light installations, and author-themed suites inspired by Lewis Carroll and Emily Brontë.
Adults-only hospitality featuring Hypnos mattresses, fine-dining multi-course menus, and attentive country-estate service.
An eighteenth-century Pomeranian palace complex and outbuilding restored within historic Orłowo parklands.
Inside a historic Orłowo park, a stroll from the Baltic coast and Orłowo Pier.
“Though the interiors have been reimagined with an Alice in Wonderland theme … it’s a sophisticated, adults-only escape.”
Rooms
The palace houses avant-garde author-themed rooms with open baths, while outbuilding suites feature wood-beamed ceilings and ground-floor garden terraces.
Wellness
An indoor pool and Finnish sauna complement restorative sound-therapy rituals performed with Himalayan singing bowls and gongs.
Backstory
Revived by the Górski family, this eighteenth-century Pomeranian estate connects its main palace to the outbuilding through a subterranean corridor.
Eat & drink
Seasonal Pomeranian tasting menus unfold at Biały Królik, while Pub 10/6 pours creative cocktails in the vaulted brick cellar.
The neighborhood
Tucked inside quiet Orłowo parkland, the estate sits a short woodland walk from the Baltic coastline and Orłowo Pier.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
