What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This jauntily cantilevered tower is remarkable for the way it towers over its mid-rise surroundings, and offers views from its upper floors that no other hotel in Poland — and few hotels in the world, frankly — can match.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
In Śródmieście directly opposite the Palace of Culture and Science, near central city sights.
The rooms
Rooms have bathtubs and separate walk-in showers. Higher floors look directly out onto the Palace of Culture.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The 43rd-floor indoor pool looks out across the city, and the gym spans two levels of cardio and strength equipment.
The sauna and whirlpool
A bubbling whirlpool sits right against floor-to-ceiling glass, steps from a wood-lined Finnish sauna and steam bath.
At the table
Anawa reinterprets traditional Polish recipes overlooking the Palace, and Verdant Bar mixes cocktails infused with wild herbs and botanicals.
How it began

Architect Tadeusz Spychała completed the 164-meter tower in 2003, raising 45 floors over central Warsaw.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
