Tucked away in Dorotowo, just minutes from Olsztyn, Hotel Galery69 sits on the shore of Lake Wulpińskie — a quiet, unhurried corner of Warmia-Masuria that most people haven’t found yet. We are deliberately small: 21 rooms, adults only (16+), four stars.
The lake is the heart of the place. In summer, kayaks and rowing boats wait at the pier, sunbeds line the wooden dock, and the restaurant terrace faces west — straight into the sunset. In winter, the lake freezes over and guests walk across it to dinner, skate on it, or plunge into it for a morning walrus swim. Inside, the Wellness zone offers an indoor pool, Finnish sauna, steam sauna, and jacuzzi. The SPA menu covers massages and body rituals. The restaurant specializes in fish, with panoramic lake views from every table. We are not the right fit for everyone, especially families with children. That is a choice we made deliberately, and we think you’ll appreciate it.
The hotel is also a working gallery. Since 2001 we have been filling it with furniture, lamps, paintings and sculptures made by hand in our own workshop — Manufaktura69. Every object has a story. Most are for sale.
We invite you to stay a little longer on our website and take a closer look. In the following subpages you’ll find plenty of information about what we offer and our ideas for your stay.
In building this hotel we had one goal – to create an object which demonstrates what we do. A manifesto of sorts. The product of human hands is of prime importance to us, so our ethos will always prefer handcrafted to machine-tooled. We have never been tempted to replicate our furniture on a mass scale, as this would remove the human element. Everything in Galery69 is hand-made, step by step, without stress or compromise, in loving detail. Simple and clear, without exaggerated form, but with honesty and quality. Achieving ideal harmony of mind requires harmony of the physical being. We draw pleasure from tormenting our bodies with extreme sports. Whether riding horses at full tilt on narrow forest trails, long-distance swimming, or sailing during storms, we lose ourselves to the moment as though nothing else existed, then pick up interrupted threads of thought with our minds refreshed. We hope our hotel will tell its guests how to achieve their own harmony – all we ask for is an open mind. Join us and live the Galery69 lifestyle.
