Boutique mountain hotel with spa

UCG Poland is opening in Poland. These are concept studies, not completed projects in Poland, and every image is an illustrative visual. They show how we would plan and deliver each type of building. Completed work will be added here as it is handed over.

Concept study · Mountain hotel and spa

Zakopane · Podhale

Zakopane is Poland’s winter capital and a year-round destination, where guests now expect spa facilities and a higher standard than many older hotels offer. This study is a boutique hotel of about 40 rooms in a contemporary take on the Zakopane style: steep shingled roofs, dark timber and a granite base, with a pool facing the Tatras.
