Raffles Europejski Warsaw: Historic 1857 Royal Route Neo-Renaissance palace with Europejski Grill, Long Bar, and 28-seat cinema

Reigning with historic Neo-Renaissance architectural majesty along the prestigious Royal Route on Krakowskie Przedmieście in the heart of Warsaw, Poland (directly facing the Presidential Palace and minutes from Old Town and the Grand Theatre, 20 minutes from Warsaw Chopin Airport), Raffles Europejski Warsaw opened in 1857 as Poland’s premier luxury grand palace (originally designed by legendary architect Enrico Marconi). Meticulously restored with interiors by Boris Kudlička and WWAA, the 106-room luxury palace houses one of Europe’s finest private collections of 20th- and 21st-century Polish contemporary art (featuring over 500 museum-grade artworks). Featuring the acclaimed dining institution Europejski Grill, the legendary Lourse Warszawa patisserie (established 1857), the glamorous Long Bar with signature Warsaw Slings, an indoor heated freshwater vitality pool, and the palatial Raffles Spa, this property is Warsaw’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Palace living balances active Royal Route cultural discovery with serene subterranean wellness: Raffles Spa features private luxury treatment suites, hydrotherapy vitality pools, saunas, steam rooms, and therapies utilizing organic Polish amber, pine needle oils, and honey.
