Historic grand hotel reopened in 2018 after meticulous restoration, combining 1857 heritage with contemporary luxury. Features ornate ballrooms, world-class spa, and Michelin-recommended dining.
Raffles Europejski Warsaw stands on Krakowskie Przedmieście, Warsaw's grandest boulevard, in a palatial building whose origins stretch to 1857. The original hotel hosted European aristocracy, artists, and public figures across two world wars and the turbulent decades that followed, before eventually closing and undergoing a painstaking multi-year restoration. It reopened under the Raffles brand in 2018, fusing the original Belle Époque and Neo-Renaissance heritage with the contemporary luxury standards of the Singapore-based group. The Presidential Palace is directly adjacent, and the University of Warsaw, Royal Castle, and Old Town are all within a 10-minute walk north along the boulevard.
The hotel offers 106 rooms and suites across several historic and sympathetically extended wings, spanning categories from Superior Rooms to the grand Europejski Suite. Interiors reference the building's historical decorative vocabulary — coffered ceilings, ornate cornicing, and rich fabric palettes — alongside modern marble bathrooms, climate control, and butler-call technology. Several suites occupy corner positions with dual-aspect views of the boulevard and the internal garden courtyard.
The ENEA by Marcello Farina restaurant delivers contemporary European fine dining with strong seasonal and locally-sourced references, earning positive critical attention since opening. The Europejski Café on the ground floor, which opens onto Krakowskie Przedmieście, has become a part of Warsaw's café culture and is accessible to non-guests. A full-service spa occupies two floors, with a heated indoor swimming pool, multiple treatment rooms, and a well-equipped fitness centre. Raffles maintains a signature butler service available around the clock for all room categories, and the hotel accommodates high-profile business events in its historic ballroom spaces — capable of hosting large formal functions.

Tips for visiting
- The Europejski Café is open to non-guests and worth visiting for afternoon coffee and pastries even without a hotel stay.
- Book the spa pool in advance for weekends — capacity per session is restricted and slots fill quickly.
- ENEA restaurant accepts à la carte reservations from non-guests and is popular for Warsaw business lunches.
- Superior rooms face the internal courtyard and are quieter than boulevard-facing rooms; the street outside is pedestrianised but can carry pedestrian noise in summer evenings.
