Abstract
Recycling of building tissue in historical European cities is an indispensable activity, allowing the introduction of the new, profitable solutions in urban centers, often being gradually emptied by residents and service functions. Reconstruction of existing buildings with an introduction of new, attractive purposes i.e. hotels and hostels; seems to be particularly economical in this respect, as it allows to derive more and more profits from tourism, attracting back the residents and center-creating activities. As a result, very interesting projects are created, which are characterized by unique architecture and exceptional character. An example of such objects that will be discussed in the work are Molino Stucky – Hilton hotel and hostel Generator, both located on the island of La Giudecca, Venice (Italy) and Vienna House Andel’s Lodz in the city Łódź (Poland).
