after the nationalization of the hotels in 1945. Decision was made to erect a new building, under the supervision of company ''Miastoprojekt''. The final design was approved by the City Council after 9 years of negotiation, the construction started in 1967 and was completed on August 29, 1972. On that day, at 7:00, the hotel opened its 75-seat café, at 13:00, the 150-seat restaurant, and at 16:00, the hotel reception. In addition, other services were made available, such as the hairdresser on the second floor, a
PKO desk office on third floor, a bar-club, a TV room and an observation deck (on the last floor).
The hotel employed at that time 240 employees, and provided all rooms with bathrooms, telephones and radios.
One of the impact of the size of the facility is still now to narrow down
Śniadecki Street to the point that the end of the avenue is closed to circulation.
Since 2019 and its closure, the ensemble has been undergoing an entire revamping, transforming it into a residential building.
Characteristics
The Brda Hotel is a monument in the city, by its size (the biggest in
Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship at its inception in 1972), but also by its style. The building reflects all the ideals of
functionalism style, which the
Polish People's Republic was fond of.
The hotel had 205 rooms, including single and double rooms, with two adapted for disabled people. A restaurant, a bar, a sauna, a solarium, a massage area were also available.
