Grand Hotel in Sopot, Poland was originally built in 1924–1927 as the most refined hotel in Sopot - the Kasino Hotel.
As the Sofitel Grand Hotel, it is located at the seaside of the Gdańsk Bay, in the heart of the town and next to the beach. Sofitel Grand Hotel has been totally refurbished during the last years, the classical atmosphere from the earlier period is still present and the hotel is now both classical, and modern. In 2007 it was decided to open Grand Spa by Algotherm, this to maintain the history of Sopot as a Spa resort.
