About Poland
|
When Poland enters the European Union in May 2004, many will see it as a sign this eastern European country has finally emerged into its own. But having thrown off the yoke of Communism more than 14 years ago, Poland is already a sophisticated, modern country. It is only now that people are starting to realize it. Located near the geographical heart of Europe, Poland is still unspoiled and not discovered, and therefore new and Fresh to many. Indeed, from the vibrant, urbane capital city of Warsaw to the Teutonic castles lining the Wisla River that draw comparison to France s Loire, Poland offers a diversity of experience that only now is starting to be fully appreciated by the world at large. |
As the capital city, Warsaw is the prime
meeting place, Warsaw, a city of 1.6 million close to the center of the
country, offers a slew of restaurants and attractions par with any
European capital. By far the favorite part of the city
for both locals and visitors alike is Old Town. Beyond its well-known 20th
century history, Poland has a long and glorious past, including a time
when it was the intellectual and economic powerhouse of Europe. Nowhere is
that better represented than the city of Krakow in the south. Spared
during WWII, Krakow has classical architecture and a distinctly European
flavor. |

Starwood Hotels & Resorts investing in Poland | |||
Few people know that
Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. of White Plains, NY is in fact
the largest American investor in the hotel industry in Poland. The initial
investment of over U.S. $80 million to build and operate Sheraton Warsaw
Hotel & Towers has grown with the introduction of new and innovative
products, further expansion in Poland, ongoing refurbishment, and
community involvement.
Krakow, a medieval city located in the South of Poland is a perfect venue for incentive trips. The Sheraton Krakow is scheduled to open in May 2004. The new hotel is located in a very prominent location - on the edge of the old town center, in the Wawel Castle neighborhood, home to the former residence of the Polish monarchy. |
