When Marcin Weinfeld designed the Warszawa in the 1930s, it didn’t just become the tallest building in Poland, but the second highest in the whole of Europe. Then housing luxury apartments, as well as the Polish branch of the Prudential insurance company, it played an iconic role during the Warsaw Uprising, refusing to collapse despite being pounded by German shells. Now, it’s causing a stir anew having been handed a second life under the Likus Group. Known their portfolio of design-forward heritage hotels, the group sought to strip the hotel back to its 30s aesthetics. Heavy on natural materials such as stone, marble, wood, copper, concrete and glass, the gorgeous design is amplified by the presence of a salt cave and a stunning underground pool. After retreat to the sixth floor for a starry views from their acclaimed Szóstka restaurant.
