Break Away Warsaw TO FEEL LIKE A STAR

Raffles Europejski Warsaw

ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 13, raffles.com/warsaw

From PLN 1,300 per night

Completed in 1857 to the Neo-Renaissance design of architect Henryk Marconi, and subsequently revived under the Raffles banner four-years back, this sumptuous hotel comes steeped in stories –known for its epic pre-war balls, it was here that celebrities such as the avant garde painter Witkacy would gather. The Rolling Stones also stayed here, first in the 1960s and then later when the hotel was recharged as Raffles. More than a hotel, the Raffles Europejski is a piece of Polish heritage and as such emphasis was placed on expressing its artistic and cultural soul during the renovation process. The result is a collection of over 120 artworks, and a stunning design that channels the property’s history and tradition through a contemporary prism. A sum of many parts, visits all but demand a Warsaw Sling in the swish bar and some prolonged pampering in the spa.
