What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside you’ll find clean-lined contemporary suites, which can pretty fairly be called ‘apartments’ without exaggeration — the smallest, a junior suite, is more or less a studio apartment.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Poznańska Street hums with sidewalk bistros and prewar tenement facades, just a short walk from Plac Konstytucji.

The rooms
Suites have high prewar ceilings and bleached oak floors, along with kitchenettes and graphic mirror artwork above the beds.
Gym and massage
The mirrored gym holds TechnoGym and Bowflex machines. A private treatment room gives hot stone massages and body scrubs.
Signature Restaurant
Original Milton H. Greene photographs of Marilyn Monroe hang beside 1960s Oswald armchairs. The kitchen serves modern Polish dishes.
How it began
German forces occupied the former Soviet legation during the war, sparing the 1890s townhouse from the destruction that leveled the surrounding city.
