... from ashes and rubble
We restore the grandeur to forgotten places. We have raised historic buildings from ruin not only out of a desire to own luxury hotels. The history of these places gives us an impulse to create an atmosphere that cannot be found elsewhere. Comfortable rooms, SPA, excellent cuisine are an important part of what we offer. We also care that our guests get to know the history of the places where they come to relax.
This is how Stare Jabłonki began
The Group's name, as well as the first hotel, comes from the name of Richard Anders, who before World War II was the owner of a building in Stare Jabłonki. It was in this building (in the photo, an archival postcard - on the right), in 1993, that Andrzej Dowgiałło opened his first hotel. Richard Anders was born in 1856 in Ryn. Also in Ryn, but a hundred years later, Andrzej Dowgiałło was born, and almost at the same time as the adaptation of the manor house into a hotel in Stare Jabłonki began, in the town of Kańczuga in the Podkarpacie region, the wood company Richard Anders Polska was established.
