Hotele DeSilva

What Hotele DeSilva does

Hotele DeSilva Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish hotel operator headquartered in Piaseczno near Warsaw, controlling a network of 20+ hotels across Poland under a hybrid model of owned DeSilva-branded properties (DeSilva Premium, DeSilva Inn, Victor) and franchise-managed Accor brands (Mercure, Novotel, Ibis, Ibis Styles, Ibis Budget). The portfolio spans six Polish regions — Silesia, Masovia, Greater Poland, Lower Silesia, Opole, and Lesser Poland — covering business hubs (Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Katowice), mountain resorts (Karpacz, Jelenia Góra, Cieszyn), and a strategic airport-adjacent position at Katowice Pyrzowice.

The business operates on a multi-revenue-stream model: hotel room accommodations (the core, with conference rates starting at 123 PLN/hour), food and beverage services including catering for weddings, communions and corporate events, conference and event rentals, the Park&Fly parking-plus-shuttle package (parking up to 21 days), 5,000 sq.m. of office space at the DeSilva Office Center in Piaseczno, and the Stara Zajezdnia Kraków venue — a UNESCO-listed historic tram depot operating as a 1,000-seat microbrewery, restaurant and event space. Distribution is hybrid: direct booking via desilva.pl with a best-price guarantee, Accor's global platform and loyalty program for franchise properties, plus phone reservations, walk-ins, and third-party OTAs.

The company is structurally a family-owned group originating from the Opole region, with adjacent operating subsidiaries including DeSilva Natural Farm (a Highland cattle operation supplying organic beef and pork to hotel restaurants), DeSilva Development (a 30-year real estate developer), DeSilva GYM, and the Stara Zajezdnia venue. The technology footprint is a conventional hotel PMS and direct booking website (built with Bookassist Polska) plus operational integrations such as a Tauron-operated EV charging station at the Katowice Airport property; there is no disclosed AI/ML capability. The company received a 3,500,000 PLN Polish Development Fund Shield 2.0 subsidy and a 301,205.70 PLN EU grant during 2020 and has accelerated footprint expansion through 2024–2025, adding six new hotels in that window.
