In July 2024, the former Militia Sanatorium opened its doors after revitalization - and since then, hundreds of families, couples, seniors, and travelers have rediscovered Nałęczów. The second birthday of Arche Nałęczów falls on the first weekend of July 2026. We will celebrate it with our guests - those who happen to be staying at the hotel and everyone who has ever visited Nałęczów. On this occasion, we are announcing the "Memories from Nałęczów" contest, and from July 3-5, we invite you to the birthday weekend TROPICAL CHILL.
Arche Nałęczów Birthday - a story that began with renovation
The building at 4B Spółdzielcza Street is over four decades old. It was built in 1983 as the Militia Sanatorium - a facility that stood unfinished for years in the shadow of the Nałęczów Spa.
The second life of the never-opened building began with the decision of the Arche group - the company of Władysław Grochowski, which has been rescuing and revitalizing historic buildings in Poland for years. In 2024, after a full renovation, the former militia sanatorium opened as Arche Nałęczów. The original spirit of the building was preserved and the character of the building maintained. Around it, modern wellness, gastronomy, and conference infrastructure has been created.
The second birthday of Arche is not only an anniversary of the opening. It is a celebration of the renovation of a unique building.
Arche Nałęczów Birthday - contest for the best photo with memories
Every photo taken in Nałęczów is a fragment of the history of this place. On the occasion of the anniversary, we want to see yours.

Whether you were with us, in the Spa Park, at the market in Kazimierz Dolny, or in the loess ravine - if the photo was taken in the city and evokes memories, we are waiting for it.

Arche Nałęczów Birthday - what makes guests return year after year?
From the reviews left by our guests, a few themes emerge that repeat regardless of the season.
First - the atmosphere of the building. PRL-era murals on the walls, retro aesthetics of the rooms, the former sanatorium visible in the details. Guests write that they feel like they are in a time machine - and that positively surprises them.
Second - the Spa Park within walking distance. Morning visits to the water pump room in the Palm House, coffee on a bench among old lindens, afternoon nap after a long walk - these are the types of memories that come back in vacation stories.
Third - an evening at the Sky Bar on the roof, with a view of the spa at sunset. And dinner at the Retro Restaurant where chef Łukasz Rudzki cooks with regional products from Lublin.
Fourth - children who simply don't want to go home. The pool with a paddling pool, playrooms, animations, Archotka walking around the facility, and surprises during the stay.
SPA in Nałęczów and attractions in Nałęczów - places that stay in memory
From the reviews of our guests, one program point runs through all memories - La Perla SPA Clinic. Massages, signature rituals, care treatments in a space where the pace clearly slows down. The Arche version of SPA Nałęczów is that treatment after which one returns to the room slower, speaks more quietly, and thinks about oneself more mindfully.
The second recurring motif - daily crenotherapy in the Palm House. Three water springs ("Miłość", "Barbara", "Celiński"), a fountain among tropical greenery, and a morning ritual which after a few days becomes a habit. Attractions in Nałęczów start at the Spa Park but most often memories return to that moment - a glass of water from the place where it has been flowing for two centuries.
Third - a boat trip on the Vistula River in Kazimierz Dolny, cobbled streets, the Kazimierz rooster in the bag for the return trip. Nałęczów attractions do not end at the city limits - the region around is part of every well-planned stay. More about stays and packages: full list of offers of Arche Nałęczów.

Nałęczów and Arche - why is this a place you return to with a smile?
There are hotels you visit once. And there are places you plan to return to on the way back home. Arche Nałęczów belongs to the second category.
The reason is simple: nothing here tries to pretend to be something else. The former sanatorium does not pretend to be a boutique hotel. PRL-era murals are not a cosmetic decoration - they are the authentic history of the building. The spa atmosphere of Nałęczów is not a marketing slogan - it is a microclimate with negative ions that the body feels from the very first day.
Here the preserved history works together with modern comfort - one does not exclude the other. The second birthday is an occasion to say this directly.
