The history of the Gromada Hotel in Piła begins in the 1970s. Back then, Piła practically had no hotel infrastructure. The destruction caused by World War II largely contributed to this - it is estimated that 80% of the urban buildings were damaged.

In 1975, Piła became the capital of the new Piła province, which, combined with its location at the intersection of important national roads connecting southern and central Poland with the northern part of the country, influenced the decision of the then authorities to build an elegant and presentable hotel. The decision was made to build the hotel on the ruins of St. Janow Church, destroyed as a result of war. At the time, it had laid in ruins for 30 years. This brought about a lot of controversy. The end result was a compromise between the church administrator (the Gorzów curia) and Communist authorities. The latter gave permission to build a new church in the Górny district in exchange for the possibility of demolishing the ruins.

In December 1975, the ruins of the church were blown up. St. Janow, July 19, 1978. The cornerstone was laid for the construction of the hotel.

During the period of sentimental tourism from the Federal Republic of Germany to Poland, the hotel accommodated a number of German groups. These groups would later travel to Warmia and Mazury. A person who significantly contributed to the establishment of the hotel was the former Vice President of OST Gromada - Henryk Skoczylas. In general, it can be said that he has an enormous influence on the creation of the entire so-called Gromada hotel chain. Among those who officially opened the hotel were its first Director - Bogusław Janicki, deputy director. Maria Twaróg (current vice-chair of the Supervisory Board) and Danuta Zaniewska, later the deputy director of the hotel in Łomża.
