Designed by the Polish firm Medusa Group in collaboration with California-based Studio PCH, the hotel serves as a bridge between classic European charm and Japanese minimalism.

“Still sitting pretty on the Royal Mile, its charms extend to a swanky subterranean spa, the marble-decked Long Bar (sample the ginger-laced Warsaw sling) and a museum-worthy collection of modern and contemporary Polish art, which you can tour with the dedicated art concierge.”

Hotel Warszawa, Warsaw

After enduring severe damage during World War II, it was eventually restored and reimagined as a luxury five-star hotel that officially reopened its doors in 2018.

“Warsaw’s first skyscraper, dating back to 1931, was reborn as one of the city’s most distinguished hotels in 2018. Every one of the 142 voluminous rooms at Hotel Warszawa is tastefully outfitted in wood and marble.”

Hotel Verte, Warsaw

Hotel Verte in Warsaw is a fascinating blend of history and modern luxury. Housed within the reconstructed 18th-century Branicki and Szaniawski palaces, the hotel is located right in the heart of the city’s historic Old Town. While the original Baroque palaces were tragically destroyed during World War II, the current structures were meticulously rebuilt in the 1950s based on iconic paintings by Canaletto, serving as a beautiful testament to the city's resilience.

“It’s now possible to sleep in a Baroque palace just steps from Warsaw’s Old Town thanks to Hotel Verte composing the Branicki and Szaniawski palaces. Each of the 94 playful bedrooms highlights 18th-century features, while Chef Maciej Majewski keeps patrons entertained and well-nourished at KUK’s neo-bistro.”

Standing tall in the city center, the hotel offers guests a front-row seat to this massive socialist-realist skyscraper, which dominates the local skyline.

Popular with a young but discerning crowd.”

Chopin Boutique B&B, Warsaw

The Chopin Boutique B&B in Warsaw is far more than just a place to sleep; it is a living piece of city history.

As the city’s first example of "Berliner modernism," its facade still bears scars from the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, serving as a poignant reminder of the capital's resilience.

“A perfect location, central but quiet, is just the first of many qualities to recommend this B&B that is locally owned and run as an honest and ethical business. The rooms are furnished with a well-balanced mix of antiques and modern comforts.”
