In 1995, the southern bath and sanatoria complex were extended significantly and the [[Adalbert of Prague|Saint Adalbert]] (in Polish ''Św. Wojciech'') spring opened two years later, as a result in 1999 Sopot regained its official [[spa town]] status. In 1999, [[Pope John Paul II]] visited Sopot, about 800,000 pilgrims attended his mass.<ref name=his/>

In 2001, Sopot celebrated the 100th anniversary of its city charter.

Sopot is currently undergoing a period of intense development, including the building of a number of five star hotels and spa resorts on the waterfront. The main pedestrianized street, Monte Cassino, has also been extended by diverting traffic underneath it, meaning the whole street is now pedestrianized. Sopot, aside from Warsaw boasts the highest property prices in Poland.
