Among number of great Guests visiting this legendary hotel one may find Karol Szymanowski, an outstanding polish composer, who lived in the hotel in May 1934 and Jan Kiepura a splendid polish tenor, who stayed in the hotel many times. In 1936 he married Martha Eggerth. For the place of the ceremony he chose Katowice and for the wedding itself – MONOPOL hotel.
