GENERAL MANAGER (K/M)

PURO is one of the leading hospitality brands in Poland. We opened our first hotel in Wrocław in 2011, and have since extended our family with new hotels in Kraków, Poznań, Gdańsk, Łódź and Warsaw. Our hotels are characterized by their laidback atmosphere and design-led sophistication, with each location offering its own unique collection of art alongside chic interiors furnished by international designers. We emphasize the individual personality of each hotel with a tailormade approach specific to the immediate neighbourhood. This means that our hotels are local destinations, too – we’re proud of how our on-site restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries and spas can attract like-minded city neighbours. Altogether, PURO owns and operates 7 hotels with a total of 1100 rooms. We’re currently planning to expand with additional hotels in Wrocław and Warsaw, as well as our first hotel in Katowice.

After opening in 2014, PURO Poznań quickly established itself as a sophisticated destination that provides a modern hospitality experience. A stone’s throw from the city’s Old Town, the 136-room hotel draws architectural inspiration from its surroundings with a striking facade that mirrors the neighbourhood’s historical tenement houses. The interior combines elegantly furnished rooms with a collection of locally-inspired artwork, enabling guests to relax in eclectic style. The hotel also houses state-of-the-art meeting and conference rooms, as well as NIFTY No. 20, an all-day restaurant, bar and café.
