Nobu Hospitality has announced plans for a new mixed-use development in Kraków, Poland, featuring a hotel, restaurant and the brand’s first residential community in Eastern Europe. The project is being developed in partnership with SAO Investments and will be located near the city’s historic Old Town.
The development includes 100 hotel rooms and 80 Nobu Residences, along with Nobu’s first-ever cultural district. According to the company, the district will include “a theatre stage, cinema hall, recording studio, co-working area and an art gallery” showcasing international and local artists. Other amenities will include a rooftop swimming pool, fitness center and Nobu’s signature restaurant.
“The Nobu district in Krakow – genuinely a city within a city – marks a groundbreaking development and a pivotal achievement for Nobu in redefining modern urbanism as we embark on branding communities within a fresh framework,” said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality.
The project follows Nobu Hotel Warsaw, which opened in 2020.
“As we transform cities, we now embark on a new journey with Nobu—one that promises to create a groundbreaking cultural epicenter. A global hub of art, culture, hospitality, and design. With our unwavering commitment to beauty, creativity, and innovation, this project will inspire and educate, combining the best of art, architecture, and urban living to build a responsible, vibrant community that reflects the dynamic spirit of SAO and Nobu,” said Grzegorz Skawinski, co-founder of SAO Investments.
Each Nobu Residence will include access to the cultural district and Nobu amenities such as priority reservations. A dedicated experience team will support residents with local engagement and programming. The project is intended to reflect Kraków’s heritage and serve as a destination for both locals and international travelers.
