In SOuTHERn POLAnD<br />
I visit Silesia several times a year, on business. From a fellow<br />
businessman, I found out about Altus, in the very heart of <strong>Katowice</strong>,<br />
right near the Spodek entertainment Centre. Since then,<br />
I always stay there as it offers everything I need: the best hotel<br />
in <strong>Katowice</strong>, fantastic restaurants, a casino, exclusive boutiques<br />
– and all this in the tallest building in southern Poland.<br />
Generally catch a taxi from the airport straight to Altus, but<br />
you can also get there by express bus. towering over the city,<br />
you can’t miss it. In the taxi, I look forward to a drink at Sky-<br />
Bar – reputedly the highest pub in Poland. At over 100m above<br />
the ground, it’s amazing. the view from the 29th floor offers<br />
up an undisturbed panorama of upper Silesia – not the industrial,<br />
dirty, smoke-choked Silesia of old, but views of the green,<br />
developing agglomeration with lush forests and the best roads in<br />
the country.<br />
Opening the door to my hotel room, I know I couldn’t have<br />
chosen a better place. everyone who’s anyone stays at the<br />
five-star Qubus Hotel Prestige – Genesis, Metallica (apparently<br />
they spent a loooot of time in the casino), Pearl Jam, as well as<br />
the world’s best volleyballers in <strong>Katowice</strong> for the world Volleyball<br />
League finals, and boxing greats: tomasz Adamek, Andrzej<br />
Gołota and the famous boxing promoter – Don King.<br />
even if I have errands to run in the city, I come back to Altus<br />
for meals. It’s only two minutes walk from the main square, and<br />
there’s so much to choose from. I’m a great fan of the salmon<br />
dumpling salad from the Japanese restaurant and the gilt-head<br />
bream baked with spinach, porcini mushrooms and crab meat,<br />
from the mediterranean menu. the cafes are great, as is the<br />
wine bar and I’ve already mentioned Sky-Bar. there’s also a Fitness<br />
Club and beauty salons on site. And the shopping mall. My<br />
wife spends many hours perusing the exclusive clothes stores<br />
and boutiques. She says that since she’s already there, she may<br />
as well make the most of it...there are also several banks and<br />
parking for 560 cars.<br />
I can often be found in the Atrium, particularly when feel<br />
I want to ‘feed the soul.’ the photographic gallery featuring the<br />
best Silesian artists is stunning. I’ve also heard that on special<br />
days such as International women’s day, Childrens’ Day or<br />
Valentine’s Day, Altus organises special events featuring wellknown<br />
and admired celebrities – such as Maciej Kuroń, Grażyna<br />
Brodzińska and the band “Feel”. that’s why I always tell my<br />
friends visiting this region, which is so rich in possibilities, to stay<br />
at Altus – it’s impossible to be bored.<br />
Altus is the new Silesian benchmark for quality. Due to its<br />
prestige and versatility, it’s the region’s business centre. Many of<br />
the largest companies have made Altus their headquarters and<br />
thanks to its contemporary and progressive style, it’s <strong>Katowice</strong>’s<br />
showpiece. that’s why I recommend it everyone visiting this<br />
opportunity-rich region.<br />
Altus has set a new benchmark for quality in Silesia. Due to its<br />
prestigious character and versatility, it is the region’s centre of<br />
business.<br />
— The largest companies all have their headquaters here. Altus<br />
is leading Silesia into the right direction for regional development<br />
and with its contemporary design, it is the best showpiece<br />
<strong>Katowice</strong> could ask for — says Magdalena twarowska, Centre<br />
Manager.<br />
