First of all, Poznan is a Polish city and consequently, it is a "central European" hotel @:-)

Second, chain hotels in CEE are often much better than their western European counterparts @:-) (don't want to compare them with the poor quality of many US hotels)

I'll grant you that taken in a full historical context, Poland is central Europe. But in more modern times, over the last 60 odd years, it's considered eastern Europe by most people in Western Europe and America. And while there are of course examples of fine hotels in that region (I love the Intercontinental Warsaw), there are also plenty of poor examples of what serve as business class hotels in eastern Europe. This is why I was very pleasantly surprised by the Sheraton Poznan.

If you want to discuss more about the classification of Poland, that should probably go to Omni.
