Raffles Europejski Warsaw
Warsaw, Poland
Srodmiescie Polnocne
Vibe
Quiet grandeur and salon refinement define public spaces where art gallery walks give way to evening cocktails and discreet hospitality.
“Restored neoclassical salon”
Interiors feature custom burl headboards, blackened oak parquet, and nearly five hundred curated works of modern Polish art.
Dedicated 24-hour butler service accompanies every stay, alongside bespoke libraries and marble bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs.
An 1857 Enrico Marconi neo-Renaissance palace along the Royal Route, restored to historic grandeur.
On the Royal Route facing Piłsudski Square, steps from the Presidential Palace and Saxon Garden.
“Even more than most Raffles hotels, the Europejski is a true classic — the building dates back to 1857, and is as grand…”
Rooms
Bedrooms feature private book collections and silver-clad bathtubs set against grey marble walls etched with the city skyline.
“Meticulously restored and reopened in 2018, the hotel balances its grand bones with contemporary restraint by way of high ceilings, hushed corridors...”
Wellness
Golden mosaic tiles shimmer across a subterranean counter-current lap pool set beneath vaulted ceilings, flanked by saunas and steam rooms.
“Original details from cornicing to ceiling roses have been restored and updated with contemporary décor.”
Backstory
Inaugurated in 1857, the neo-Renaissance palace hosted salon concerts and survived wartime destruction before its meticulous 2018 restoration.
Eat & drink
Sip Warsaw Slings in the Art Deco Long Bar, sample seasonal pierogi at Europejski Grill, or take pastries at Lourse Warszawa.
The neighborhood
Set directly on the Royal Route, the hotel faces Piłsudski Square, steps from the Saxon Garden and the cobblestones of Old Town.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
