The Hotel Metropole in Szczecin was a hotel, which was located at the corner of today's Holy Spirit Street and Podwale streets, in the Old Town, in the Centre district. It was destroyed in the Second World War.
The Hotel Metropole was built between 1900 and 1901 on then Heiligegeiststraße 7b.[1][2] The building had a total of 100 rooms and was one of the largest hotel buildings in pre-war Szczecin. A swimming pool, garages and a restaurant were also available to guests.[2]
Description
The Metropole Hotel was a corner, four-storey building. The wing from the side of the Holy Spirit Street was seven-axial, whereas from the side of Podwale Street – one axis shorter. The façade of the first and second floor was decorated with bossage. The main entrance was located in the corner of the building. The façade of the upper storeys was divided by cornices. The roof was covered by tiles. The corner crowned a tented roof with a spire.[3]
The hotel was destroyed during the bombing of Szczecin.[2] After the war, its ruins were cleared away and since then the space has been used as a temporary bus parking.[4]
