A vision by two free spirits
The creative minds behind Galery69, Małgosia and Wojciech Żółtowsky, have built more than a hotel—they’ve crafted a living artwork. Through Manufaktura69, their on-site workshop, the couple designs and handcrafts unique furniture and objects that populate every room and space, ensuring that no two corners feel the same. Every table, chair, and lamp carries their signature touch, blurring the line between functional object and sculptural piece. Staying here means inhabiting their vision—a place where every detail has been shaped with care, passion, and personality.
An immersive creative experience
Set on the shores of Lake Wulpińskie in Poland’s northeastern Masuria region—just 2.5 hours from Warsaw—Galery69 is a striking contemporary structure surrounded by quiet water and endless greenery. It isn’t about conventional hospitality. It’s about connection to place and imagination. The hotel doubles as a gallery, where art installations shift with the seasons, and where workshops, exhibitions, and cultural events often take place. Guests are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to touch and feel the craftsmanship that defines the space. The result is a stay that feels less like checking into a hotel and more like stepping into an ongoing creative dialogue.
For dreamers, by dreamers
Galery69 attracts design lovers, artists, and curious travelers seeking a slower, more soulful escape. Days here follow their own rhythm—morning swims in the lake, lazy breakfasts on the terrace, afternoons in the sauna or out on paddleboards, and evenings spent around long communal tables talking art, ideas, and life. It’s a retreat for unfettered thinkers: a place to unplug, breathe, and draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the hotel’s handmade aesthetic, and the creative energy of its visionary owners.
DNA Hotels verdict
