Best Luxury Hotels in Masovia

Also known as Hotel Europejski, or The European Hotel, Raffles Warsaw boasts one of the largest private art collections in the country; guests can book tours, or arrange private gallery viewings. The hotel offers four different places to dine, including the Long Bar (inspired by its iconic Singapore counterpart), a cigar lounge and a renowned patisserie providing visitors with a traditional tea brewing ceremonial experience. A state of the art spa caters for couples or individual treatments, while the pool area features a 1960s statement mosaic by Krystyna Kozłowska entitled “Abduction of Europa”. The service style is warm and personal, with a focus on attention to detail.

This five-star skyscraper (the third tallest hotel in Europe) is part of the IHG chain and found in the city’s financial district. Its soaring stature provides superb views, especially from the wellness centre’s 43rd and 44th-floor indoor pool and hot tub. Rooms begin from the 24th floor; there are 414 in total, including self-catering suites.  Acclaimed local celebrity chef Karol Okrasa is at the helm of the hotel’s restaurant, Platter. Plus there’s a new chocolatier in the lobby, for some decadent Polish sweet treats. Two floors of conference facilities offer excellent resources for events – be they personal or professional.

Housed in the city’s Prudential building, this hotel brings cutting-edge modernity to a piece of history. The design is a blend of urban and Scandi chic in moody colours with natural textures of wood and concrete. Rooms come with Chromecast, a workstation and Acqua di Parma cosmetics. The wellness centre provides a swimming pool, dry sauna, wet sauna, salt cave and treatments with Ortigia and Menard cosmetics. And there’s the Warszawska Restaurant, the Szóstka Restaurant with a terrace and the 24-hour Bar Warszawska for drinks and food by Chef Dariusz Barański.

Interiors by architect Didier Gomez bring a French flair to this central venue, popular with business travellers and couples. Overlooking Warsaw’s oldest public park, it offers a prime location, close to theatres, museums and concert halls. 368 rooms are spread across five floors. And guests can dine at the open kitchen brasserie, or drink in its Victorias Lounge enjoying views of Pilsudski Square. The sultry, moodily lit, mirrored pool is not to be missed – an ideal nook for relaxing after a day’s sightseeing.

Having hosted famous musicians, politicians and even royalty, this is arguably the most lauded hotel in the country. A grand exterior gives way to Art Noveau interiors housing an ESPA spa, pool, hammam, Viennese café, the Marconi Restaurant serving national cuisine, a swish cocktail bar with outdoor seating and 206 bedrooms offering Elemis toiletries. Built right at the turn of the 20th century, its public areas exude the kind of opulence that fits the hotel’s location – right beside the Presidential Palace. Upgrade to a suite for a premium experience, including round the clock butler service, antique furnishings and glittering chandeliers adorning the ceilings.
