Although the Grand Hotel has been closed for a good few years, it still lives on in the stories of the people of Łódź. And no wonder, for over a hundred years it was a symbol of wealth, a place for entertainment for the cream of society and a generator of countless legends. Today, it is slowly revealing to us the effects of the renovation that has been ongoing since 2019. The best thing about it all is that apart from the Likus brothers, no one knows how this renovation will end. On the one hand, it is surrounded by an aura of mystery, on the other, there is a considerable scandal in the field of monument conservation. The previous projects of this hotel family are a model of modern adaptation of historical interiors. The Metropol hotels in Wrocław, Warsaw, and Metropol in Katowice have effectively built the myth of a family that turns gold no matter what it touches. Will it be the same with our Grand Hotel? In the film, I collect everything we currently know about the renovation of our pearl, and at the same time I tell its entire story. This is important because there is probably no building next to the city hall, the cathedral, the tenement house under Gutenberg, or Manhattan that is so symbolic and strongly associated with Piotrkowska. #historyofŁódź #Łódź #ILoveŁódź #Piotrkowska #revitalization #GrandHotel #Likus #hotel #promenade #Meyer #pasażRóży #Moniuszki #factories #theater #cinema #monument #renovation #woonerf #orbis #architecture
