Poland's House of Deputies launches 1.3 million‑zł multi‑year interior renovation
The Sejm’s Office has opened a 1.3 million‑zł tender to furnish and equip the Dom Poselski, the parliamentary hotel used by deputies and senators. The contract covers new furniture, bathroom fittings and flooring, with a focus on beige and satin finishes, dark‑wood‑imitation panels and anti‑fingerprint surfaces.
The renovation programme will modernise roughly 40 rooms each year over a seven‑year horizon, eventually updating all hotel rooms without altering the building’s electrical or plumbing systems. The plan follows the abandonment of earlier proposals to demolish the 1989‑era structure and construct a new facility. Critics, including MP Kazimierz Smoliński (PiS), have called the works a superficial “pudrowanie trupa”. The project is overseen by the Sejm’s Office under leadership linked to former speaker Szymon Hołownia, with former deputy chief Michał Deskur explaining that the upgrades will proceed while the building remains in daily use. Firms may submit bids until the end of July.
