Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Hilton said: “Torun is one of Poland’s most popular domestic destinations.

Andrzej Wójcik, President of Satoria Group and VHM Hotel Management said: ”Hilton Garden Inn Torun Old Town will be our fourth hotel in partnership with Hilton, joining properties in Gdansk, Olsztyn and Lodz. Our long-standing partnership is built on the strength of Hilton’s brands and our mission to offer the finest hospitality in the country. We cannot wait to welcome guests to Torun in 2022.”
