Located right by the pier on the Baltic Sea beach in northern Poland, the property was sold for 125 million PLN (over 29 million EUR or more than 30 million USD).

The Grand Hotel in Sopot, located by the Baltic Sea, was built between 1924 and 1927 in a blend of Art Nouveau and Neo-Baroque styles. This view is taken from the nearby promenade pier, showcasing the hotel's elegant architecture and its seaside setting.

Sofitel Grand Sopot was purchased from AccorInvest by the Polish company Sinfam Investments, which also owns the 4-star Hotel Warszawianka in Warsaw, one of the largest conference venues in the country.

One of Poland's prestigious five-star hotels, it was built in the 1920s and officially opened in 1927.

Among its guests were French General Charles de Gaulle, actress and singer Marlena Dietrich, screen star Greta Garbo, American diplomat Henry Kissinger, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

In 1939, the building served as Adolf Hitler's headquarters during his invasion of Poland. Between 1944 and 1945, it housed a Military Evacuation Hospital.

Later, the building hosted the Dutch consul, and the Swiss consulate operated from there. Many films were also shot against its backdrop and within its interiors.
