Check availability Official websiteThe hotel building opened in 1857 as Hotel Europejski, designed by Henryk Marconi as part of renovation work on Warsaw's Royal Route. Over subsequent decades, the hotel became a hub of intellectual and cultural life, hosting influential politicians and crowned heads of state. Following reconstruction work in 1961 after Second World War damage, the property operated as one of Warsaw's finest hotels.
From 2013 to 2017, the building underwent extensive renovation work overseen by the City of Warsaw's Conservator of Historic Buildings. The restoration by architect and set designer Boris Kudlička blends 21st-century luxury with the original neoclassical architecture, creating a contemporary hotel that honors its heritage.
