Colliers International announced the launch of its new Hotels Advisory department in Poland, led by Rafał Rosiejak, who has been appointed as Director.


“We see great potential for the hotel sector in Poland and with the launch of this new service line we can lead the way,” said Monika Rajska-Wolińska, Managing Partner at Colliers International in Poland. “In 2017 the hotel sector in Poland recorded its best-ever performance with transaction volumes reaching €340 million. This amounts to a 7 percent market share in total investment volumes and we can expect this upward trend to continue as the number of projects in the pipeline or under construction increases, not only in Warsaw and Tricity, but also in other regional cities. Meanwhile, the demand for hotel services in Polish holiday resorts also shows a rising trend,”

His experience includes being responsible for the accommodation strategy and delivery for sponsors and fans of the UEFA EURO 2012™ European Football Championship.

Prior to joining Colliers, Rafał was the director of one of the largest exhibition and congress facilities in Poland - Expo Mazury in Ostróda - before joining the Hotel Professionals team where he managed for the opening and launch of a new hotel, Hampton by Hilton in Gdańsk Oliwa.
