BUDAPEST - Business Traveller

spensers – this being in line with the ecofriendly
policy of Scandica hotels. Just
like the three-section rubbish bin, encouraging
guests to sort the waste. What’s
interesting, if you put a lit cigarette into
the bin, it will automatically shut to prevent
fi re. Eight rooms in the hotel can be
combined together, in this way creating
much larger space, if needed. In the bedrooms
for the handicapped, there are
special facilities like vibrating alarm
clocks, additional peepholes in the door
which are places lower than usually, and
emergency buttons.
BUSINESS FACILITIES As for business
facilities in the Gdańsk Scandica
hotel, there are four conference rooms
on the ground fl oor, and two on the last
one. Gdańsk, Amsterdam and Kopenhaga
rooms can be combined into one room
of 330 sq m altogether and it is often used
for big conferences or banquets, accommodating
up to 330 people. Hamburg room,
like the rooms on the third fl oor, is
devoted for smaller meetings, and it can
be divided into two smaller rooms. Guests
can count on all sorts of facilities like
audio-visual equipment, fl ipcharts,
screens and the internet access. All the
rooms have access to the natural light.
Scandic is eagerly supporting the “conscious
meetings”, i.e. meetings organized
in line with the eco-friendly rules -
the hotel offers their own fi ltered water
served in carafes, coffee from eco-friendly
plantations, or even recyclable stationery.
There is also organic menu, including
dry fruit. The business offer is
complemented with the business area
with 2 computers and a printer.
RESTAURANTS AND BARS You can
already start licking your lips as the cuisine
in Gdańsk Scandic hotel is sensational!
The chef Paweł Pawluk is both
a magician and a miracle-worker, as all
the dishes here are mouth-watering and
praiseworthy.
The tomato soup with a huge cloud of
cream, tuna steak or ravioli with grapefruit
particles of different colour – these
are only some of the culinary masterpieces.
All of these, together with excellent
Chilean wines, make it really hard to leave
the table in their Little Italy restaurant.
The restaurant is open from 12.00
am until 10.00 pm, earlier you can eat here
breakfast in the form of buffet (which
includes 101 different items - it’s one
of Scandic traditions). They also have
a special kids menu, composed in cooperation
with Jamie Oliver. What’s interesting,
children may not only pick the food
items, but also prepare them. On the
menu, you’ll also fi nd gluten-free dishes.
LEISURE FACILITIES The hotel fi tness
club has a small gym, a sauna, a steam
bath and a massage room (available

a city bicycle in the characteristic red colour,
or use Nordic walking poles.
