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.
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 Foutain "Potop".
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.

In 1920, the property passed into the hands of Magdalena Łaganowska [4] 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. [3]
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".
