The modernized Residence, connected by an underground tunnel to the Arlamow**** Hotel, is a historic building, permanently inscribed in Poland's recent history.
Guests have at their disposal comfortable rooms and suites, à la carte restaurant, club room, bar and conference room. Thanks to the preserved style of luxury of the 70s and 80s, at every step Guests find references to the unique history of the place.
The residence was built in the 1960s as a secretive, gated government resort that could only be used by top dignitaries and their guests. Visitors here included Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito, Belgian King Baudouin I with his wife Fabiola, French President Valèry Giscard d'Estaing, as well as the Shahinshah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi with Empress Farah and the Emperor's brother Prince Abdorez Pahlavi.
The Residence went down in the pages of Poland's recent history as the place where Lech Walesa was interned during martial law (in 1982). The then chairman of Solidarity, later Nobel Peace Prize laureate and President of Poland, spent six months in Apartment 52.
In December 2015, the Museum of Treasures of Mother Earth was established in the Residence, and now displays are located throughout the Arlamow Hotel. Thanks to our cooperation with the Nature of the Earth Association, we were able to prepare a unique exhibition, which includes 2000 unique specimens from both Poland and the world. Here you can admire, among others, precious stones (diamonds, including an extremely rare blue diamond, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls) and minerals, such as: gypsum, quartz, sulfur, iron, zinc and copper ores.
