:: Advantages and commercial value ::

In the pre-pandemic years, the hotel and spa attracted a range of eminent guests, including Poland’s Presidential couple and members of the intellectual and business elite. The hotel’s centerpiece Presidential Suite and two wings of luxury accommodations – together with its restaurant, spa, and gardens – have been a premier destination for guests seeking a top-flight hotel experience amidst the sporting and cultural events of the Beskid Mountains.

The proximity of Szczyrk, Brenna, Koniaków and Cieszyn creates countless recreational opportunities: the surrounding peaks of the Beskids abound with skiing trails, ski lifts, and ski jumps; hiking and biking trails; and scenic viewpoints.

The Vistula valley in which the property is nestled possesses a uniquely attractive microclimate; a century-long tradition as a resort area for Poland’s elite, established by the Polish intellectual and trendsetter Julian Ochorowicz; and a strong reputation for its sanitaria and cosmetic surgery clinics. Such factors have ideally positioned Villa Almira on the national and international map of wellness centers esteemed by customers seeking discretion, quality, and the highest class of services.

The property’s immense business potential derives, among other things, from the fact that the spa and restaurant have historically generated revenue not only from the hotel’s own guests but from guests staying at nearby bed-and-breakfasts, hotels, and aparthotels, as well as from residents of Wisła.
