Sopot, with its charming streets lined with Belle Époque buildings, feels like stepping into a painting from the past. The soft sands of the Sopot Beach stretch toward the horizon, anchored by the iconic Sopot Pier—the longest wooden pier in Europe. The architecture evokes memories of a time when the European elite strolled along the promenade, captivated by the beauty of this seaside resort.
Yet, my recent weekend in Sopot was no time travel to the Belle Époque. It was August, the town buzzing with a modern vibrancy, yet echoes of history resonated everywhere. Nothing captured this blend of old-world elegance and modern luxury better than my stay at Rezydent Sopot MGallery Hotel Collection. The hotel offered all the modern amenities I needed, while still reflecting the historic charm of the town.
After a long day on Sopot Beach, the room at Rezydent Sopot MGallery Hotel Collection provided the perfect retreat. The bed was large and comfortable, with crisp linens that made sleeping easy. The amenities were practical and well thought out, including a flat-screen TV, a Nespresso machine, and a minibar. The bathroom featured a spacious walk-in shower and high-quality toiletries, perfect for unwinding after a long day. While modern in function, the room’s design retained a sense of history, with high ceilings and elegant touches that reflected the hotel’s classic character.
I spent some time in the hotel lobby during the daytime, where it was easy to relax and get some work done. With my laptop open and a freshly brewed coffee by my side, the calm atmosphere made it easy to focus. The restaurant offered a well-curated menu of local and international dishes, but the breakfast was the real highlight—fresh pastries, rich coffee, and a wide variety of options that made the mornings feel special.
As I left Sopot and Rezydent Sopot MGallery Hotel Collection, it felt as though time had folded, where the elegance of the past met the energy of the present. With my batteries recharged, I headed off for a day in Gdańsk before catching my evening flight, carrying with me the serene memories of my weekend by the sea.
