Nobu Hospitality has confirmed plans for its second property in Poland having forged a new partnership with local luxury real estate designer and investor, SAO Investments. Nobu Hotel, Restaurant and Residences Kraków will be located near the city’s historic Old Town and marks the brand’s first residential project in Eastern Europe.
The 100 key property will also feature Nobu’s first-ever cultural district – a city within a city – featuring a theatre stage, cinema hall, recording studio, co-working space and an art gallery. Guests will also have access to a rooftop swimming pool with state-of-the-art fitness centre and a signature Nobu restaurant, serving Chef Nobu’s most iconic cuisine.
The residential side to the project will boast 80 Nobu Residences.
“The Nobu district in Krakow – genuinely a city within a city – marks a groundbreaking development and a pivotal achievement for Nobu in redefining modern urbanism as we embark on branding communities within a fresh framework,” remarked Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality.
“As we transform cities, we now embark on a new journey with Nobu—one that promises to create a groundbreaking cultural epicentre. A global hub of art, culture, hospitality and design,” said Grzegorz Skawinski, SAO Investments Co-Founder. “With our unwavering commitment to beauty, creativity, and innovation, this project will inspire and educate, combining the best of art, architecture, and urban living to build a responsible, vibrant community that reflects the dynamic spirit of SAO and Nobu.”
Nobu’s second venture in Poland follows the success of Nobu Hotel Warsaw, which opened in 2020.
