The Carlton is a major regeneration of the city centre’s pedestrian zone block of early 20th century buildings into a modern Grand Hotel and apartments. As a hip and progressive grand hotel in the heart of the city of music, it has re-joined the line up of great, grand hotels present in Katowice.

The Carlton Hotel is a celebration of its dynamic and avant-garde past and present. Due to its vast industrial heritage: transportation, music and movement and uncovered in the many stories represented within the artwork collection of the hotel, items of furniture and decoration accessories. The Carlton creates a timeless grandeur to a contemporary lifestyle, whilst paying tribute to modernism and unconventional thinking. The Carlton is conceived with the belief that the hotel is your own stage of experimentation. A destination where guests can be the creators of their own inspirations and aspirations, creating their own scenes, sets and routines within the playhouse of public spaces.

Carefully curated music events will be staged at the hotel and a wide variety of links will be forged with other music venues in the city to support Katowice’s status as the UNESCO City of Music. The styling of the hotel is distinctly contemporary but with heritage and tradition in mind.
