Where to stay
Warsaw is a business city first and foremost, and occupancy rates reflect that. Prices dip the moment the clock hits Friday, 5pm, and you’ll find some great discounts available if you hunt around online. A good place to start of course is warsaw.inyourpocket.com where there is a function to check and compare prices. Called hotelcalculator.com the software scans the web and finds the lowest rates available for all hotels available on the dates you request. It then gives you the three best prices available allowing to book directly with whichever reservation system has that price at the time.
The Warsaw hotel market reflects the city’s image as the corporate briefcase of Eastern Europe and it comes well equipped with five star offerings, as well as a new breed of lower priced options for more thrifty travellers. Unless mentioned otherwise the options we list include breakfast in their rates. Hotels will list their prices in euros, dollars or zloty, though whatever the case your bill will be calculated in local currency using the exchange rate of the day. Warsaw now has a group of Golden Keys concierges and their tips for the coming months in Warsaw can be found in our
Ask the Concierge box.Here is a list of recommendations depending on what you are looking for.
Local
Be King of the Castle by booking into
Castle Inn, where rooms custom designed by local artists that a uniquely local modern angle to the old town setting. For something more upmarket check into the
Polonia Palace, a restored art nouveau building bang in the centre with a guest list that has included the Miss World gals. Or why not see what it’s like to be a (wealthy) local, and rent out an apartment – we vouch for
Residence St Andrews, class apartments in an A1 location.
Cheap
Camera Hostel is ideal if you’re looking to meet up with random travelers from around the globe, while newcomer
Moon Hostel is a little more upscale (flatscreens in the rooms) and a little less backpackeresque. If hostelling is below you then check out the centrally located
Gromada or the Polish budget range
Start hotels.
Lads
If you’re touring in numbers then go for one of the 5-star giants, all of whom tend to drop their rates at weekends. If you want to be central then try the
Marriott – it comes with its own sports bar and casino. Cheaper options, but equally adept at coping with groups, are
The Golden Tulip,
Radisson Blu and
Campanile.
Couples
MaMaison Le Regina is the perfect honeymoon experience, and right in the middle of romantic new town. Alternatively, relive the Art Deco years inside the boutique
Rialto.
Splurge
The city has seen a number of new hotels in recent years, many of them at the top end of the market. While we can vouch for all the major hotels, it might be worth taking a look at the price comparison service hotelcalculator on the hotel pages of
poland.inyourpocket.com.
