Check in to the best new hotels in Warsaw – for business or for leisure
Increasing interest in Poland’s elegant capital has led to a spate of openings; here are two luxury lifestyle accommodations that are now welcoming guests
More international hotel brands are venturing into Warsaw, Poland’s capital, in Eastern Europe. The city is becoming increasingly attractive as a travel destination due to its cultural and entertainment offerings. Here are two of the best recent openings, ideal for either business or leisure.
Raffles Europejski Warsaw
Opening on June 1, Raffles Europejski Warsaw is the first hotel from Raffles Hotels & Resorts to operate in the city. It is fully restored from a neo-Renaissance palace built in 1857 by Enrico Marconi which quickly became the city’s creative heart. The hotel is located on the historic Royal Route, with views over the Old Town, the Presidential Palace and the Saxon Gardens. The elegant interiors of the hotel showcase some of the best modern and contemporary Polish art as well as the skills of Polish craftsmen – from the lighting, to the carved burl wood headboards, to the parquetry floors.
The hotel’s 106 spacious and elegant rooms and suites feature blackened oak floors, contemporary Polish art, a corner library and sleek marble-clad bathrooms. Measuring 293 square metres, the hotel’s Presidential Suite was once used to host recitals and piano concerts, and is home to a 19th century piano.
Dining and entertainment options at the hotel include the Europejski Grill, The Long Bar, The Humidor exclusive lounge, and the Lourse Warszawa Patisserie. Other hotel facilities include the Europejski Ballroom, Raffles Spa, a gym, and an indoor swimming pool.
