For our first vacation since the beginning of the pandemic, we decided to travel by car. We felt the situation was simply too uncertain for air travel. The decision quickly fell on southern Poland, partly due to the low incidence rates. We chose the DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow as our base for our trip and were curious to see what the four-star hotel offered in this situation.
I've been to Poland frequently for work over the past year and have gotten to know and love the country, its people, and its excellent food. So, at the beginning of January, we decided to plan a weekend in Wroclaw. A Hilton sale came along just in time, allowing us to book the DoubleTree by Hilton Wroclaw for an unbeatable price of €75 per night. Find out whether you can expect a good five-star hotel at this price in our hotel review.
For our trip to the USA this year, we tried out LOT's Premium Economy. Thanks to our Star Alliance Gold status, we were able to visit the LOT Polish Airlines Elite Club Lounge during our stopover at Warsaw Airport. You can find out whether we had a pleasant stay there in the review.
Katowice Airport is Poland's third-largest airport in terms of passengers. Lufthansa currently offers a total of 21 flights per week. This means the number of passengers is too small for a dedicated airport lounge, so passengers use the contract lounge in Terminal B. Find out in our review that a visit to the Business Lounge at Katowice Airport is still worthwhile.
The sunny island of Usedom lives up to its name. We drove toward the Baltic Sea in the worst of the rain, and as soon as we crossed the bridge to the island, we were greeted by a bright blue sky and the sun smiling down on us. Perfect! That's how it should be.
The Hampton by Hilton Swinoujscie hotel is located in the centre of Świnoujście, not far from the promenade and the Baltic Sea beach. When looking for a hotel for our holiday on Usedom, the decision was easy for us as Hilton HHonors status customers. We would like to share our opinion of the Hampton by Hilton Swinoujscie below.
