[2] Singer Jan Kiepura also appeared on the same balcony after the war to sing for a crowd of people gathered in front of the hotel.

Following the transfer of Breslau to Poland in 1945, the hotel hosted the World Congress of Intellectuals during the Exhibition of the Recovered Territories in 1948 with guests such as Pablo Picasso,[4] Irène Joliot-Curie, Ilya Ehrenburg, Jorge Amado and Mikhail Sholokhov.

Today the Monopol Hotel has two restaurants (one Polish and the other Mediterranean), a spa and wellness club and organizes conferences and banquets.
