Text description provided by the architects. The new PURO Hotel designed by the Polish firm ASW Architekci Ankiersztajn Stankiewicz Wroński  is built in Poznan old town in the former Jewish district. On the plot between three narrow streets, near to the building of the former “Big  Synagogue”  from the beginning of 20^th century,  the hotel building makes this part of the old town complete. The project is one of a few examples  of modern architecture inside the historic downtown of Poznan.

The shape of the building results from the urban structure of the district. The hotel continues the lines of historical buildings but its look is decidedly contemporary and modern.  Two facades finished with fibre cement  panels continue rhythm and traditional shape of existing houses. The big windows realized in metal and wooden frames creates an interesting pattern of the elevation. The third façade covered by ceramic brown tiles is a variation of modern forms  similar to others hotels of the PURO chain.
