A beloved Warsaw icon will reopen after its debut in 1857 as a luxury accommodation option for those traveling to Poland’s beautiful capital city. Situated along the Royal Route next to the Presidential Palace in Old Town, the newly restored Raffles Europejski Warsaw embodies Polish heritage, history and tradition.

The property’s 106 elegant suites are the largest in the city, featuring Polish art by Anda Rottenberg and Barbara Piwowarsaka, and luxurious design elements including dark wood floors, brass details, bespoke furnishings and marble bathrooms.

The on-site restaurant, which flows onto a terrace on Piłsudski Square, will showcase Poland’s world-renowned culinary traditions, and the bar and cigar lounge will offer comfortable atmospheres in which to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Guests will also have access to an on-site patisserie serving Polish cakes and pastries, a pool and a spa featuring six treatment rooms.

The historic building was once known as the site of elaborate balls and meetings of famous Polish writers, thinkers and artists including Józef Chełmoński and Stanisław Witkiewicz.

Chris Cahill, CEO, AccorHotels Luxury Brands, said, “The Raffles Europejski Warsaw will offer the visitor bespoke luxury and beautiful art-filled interiors, building on the past and preserving for the future as it opens for its next exciting chapter in the very heart of Warsaw.”

The Raffles collection includes 11 distinguished addresses around the world including Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris; Raffles Hotel Singapore; Raffles Istanbul; and Raffles Dubai. The company also recently announced a new asset in London with plans to transform the Old War Office into a luxury hotel option.
