The '''Hotel ''Bohema'' ''' is a five-star hotel located at 9 Konarskiego Street, in downtown Bydgoszcz, Poland. The building is registered on the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Heritage List.

==Location== The building stands on the western side of Konarskiego Street in Bydgoszcz, near Piotra Skargi Street. The building is in the vicinity of the Park Casimir the Great, Plac Wolnosci and Fountain "Potop". thumb|Advertising for Otto bollmann business, 1878

==History== The building was constructed in 1877 by master mason Anton Hoffmann, stepfather of Józef Święcicki, who is known for designing many townhouses in Bydgoszcz, in particular Hotel "Pod Orlem" and the buildings at 63 Gdanska street or at 1/3 Stary Port Street.

The first owner was a brick factory manager, Otto Bollmann, a German merchant who never lived in the house. The edifice was conceived as a tenement house with five apartments. Originally at ''Schule straße 3'', tenants were senior officers, officials and artists, such as: * Julius Bachmann, Lord Mayor of Bromberg in the 1880s,;<ref>{{cite book |last=Adressbuch nebst allgemeinem Geschäfts-Anzeiger von |first=Bromberg und dessen Vororten auf das Jahr |date=1880|title=auf Grund amtlicher und privater Unterlagen |location= |publisher= |chapter=Strassen|page=XLV}}</ref> * Jerzy Rupniewski, famous 1920s-1950s Polish painter.<ref name="Bunia">''From Bunia to "Bohema"'', discussion between Joanna and Janusz Franczak with Irena Stürm-Delcroix, leaflet booklet published by hotel "Bohema"</ref>

In 1920, the property passed into the hands of Magdalena Łaganowska<ref>{{cite book |last=Adresy Miasta Bydgoszcy |date=1922 |title=Owners list |location=Bydgoszcz |publisher=Księgarnia Bydgoska |page=115 }}</ref> who settled there and rented the other flats. During World War II, the tenement was taken over by German authorities, who accommodated there doctors who worked at the field hospital set up at 5 Konarskiego, now the building of the Catering School of Bydgoszcz.<ref name="Bunia"/>

After World War II, the tenement was managed by a communist estate agency, till the early 1990s. In 1997, it returned to private hands. Since December 2003, the new owners of the building rebuilt the interiors and opened in July 2008 the Hotel "Bohema".<ref name="Bohema">{{cite web |url=http://www.hotelbohema.pl/about-the-hotel/ |title=History |last1=Franczak |first1=Joanna |last2=Franczak|first2=Janusz|website=hotelbohema.pl |publisher=logo7.pl |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref> The Café and restaurant "Weranda" opened on 15 April 2007, and the restaurant "Black Diamond" on 22 March 2009.<ref name="Bohema"/>
