Raffles Europejski Warsaw

Last updated on January 29th, 2026.

You’ll find the main entrance to Raffles Europejski Warsaw off the main road of the Royal Route (Krakowskie Przedmieście).

It’s the road that leads to Warsaw old town; the same place where you’ll find the royal castle.

The 5-star hotel opened in 2018, although the building itself has been around for over 160 years. Italian-Polish architect, Enrico Marconi, designed the building in a neo-renaissance style in 1857. It would later become the meeting place for writers, poets and artists.

There’s an inviting feeling the moment you step inside the lobby.

Some luxury hotels can have an air of pretension about them, but it’s non-existent here. We arrived on a quiet weekday during the start of winter in Poland, and the warmth radiating from inside was most welcome.

A décor that mixes modern features with old-school charm, it embraces the style associated with the renowned Raffles brand.

As mentioned above, it’s on the same road leading to the old town of Warsaw, which is one of the main attractions of Warsaw. It also happens to be the location of the Warsaw Christmas market that starts each year around the end of November.

The Polish National Opera House is minutes away from Raffles Europejski Warsaw, as are several good restaurants and bars.

In short, staying at this luxury hotel means you’re in walking distance of some of Warsaw's top attractions like the Polin Museum.

The Grand Suite

Bathroom

Opening the door to the grand suite is like entering a larger — and chicer — version of my living room.

Soft lighting illuminates its features, from the 2 plush sofas to the striking writing desk. On the way to the bedroom is one of the largest hotel bathrooms I’ve ever seen.

A standalone bathtub is the focal point of the room, with an equally spacious shower room. It’s what you’d expect from a luxury hotel bathroom, and nothing is amiss.

The bedroom at Raffles Europejski Warsaw

The first thing you want to do when entering the bedroom is to jump straight onto the king bed.

A bed built for the cold weather, you’ll never want to get out. It’s larger than it looks in my photos and very inviting. The headboard not only stretches the width of the bed but it also curves around some of the mattress too.

It’s unlike any headboard I’ve come across in a luxury hotel. Custom-made linens and down bedding complete the Raffles Warsaw grand suite sleeping experience.

The room itself is minimal in style. Aside from some artwork on the walls, and the art deco style bedside lamps, it’s designed for optimal rest.

One characteristic of the suite I wasn’t expecting to find was the larger-than-life terrace. We didn’t venture out for too long given the freezing Warsaw temperatures, but I can imagine it’s ideal come summertime.

Raffles Spa Warsaw

I feel a rush of excitement run through my veins every time I step foot into a new spa.

Add a luxury tag to the equation and I’m on cloud nine. I can only describe the Raffles Spa in Warsaw in one word, and that’s exceptional. So much thought has gone into the design to create a space that’s welcoming, warm and overwhelmingly relaxing.

Following my therapist through the spa, every room and feature became even more impressive.

And...relax at Raffles Warsaw

There are 6 generous size treatment rooms, with soft dim lighting and calming music gently playing in the background.

For couples, there’s a dreamy VIP suite where you can share the experience with your partner, relative or friend. They use premium Sisley Paris and Aromatherapy Associates products, designed to massage away stresses and address any skin concerns.

Before leaving the spa, take note of the striking mosaic piece in the lobby. It’s the original mosaic from 1961 that was a part of a previous reception. It’s titled ‘Abduction of Europa’ and was created by Polish artist Krystyna Kozłowska.

Time for sweets

If you've a sweet tooth, you need to visit Lourse Warszawa. This patisserie on the ground floor is a century-old Polish institution and has been revived for the 21st century.

It used to be the place where locals would come together for cake and tea, and is quickly becoming a Warsaw favorite. The patisserie still has some of the original features from the past, including the magnificent brass till.

Drinking at Raffles Warsaw

Given its connection to the Raffles name, it’s not surprising to find a ‘long bar’ at Raffles Europejski Warsaw.

The Warsaw version is inspired by the original Long Bar in Raffles Singapore and embraces the same sleek design. It seats 50 people, and yes, you can find the iconic Singapore Sling cocktail on the menu.

Humidor cigar lounge

Stepping into the Humidor cigar leather-filled lounge is like walking straight into a room from the 1950s. While I wasn’t around during that time, there’s something very charming, in an old school way, about this room.

Sixteen tan-leather armchairs fill up this meeting place, with colorful pieces of art hanging from its green walls.

As the name suggests, it’s a cigar lounge, so don’t expect it to be smoke-free. Along with the cigar menu, there’s also a fine selection of brandies, whiskies and cognac. Everyone’s welcome — except children of course.

The lounge is open every day from 12pm to 1am.*

    1. You'd really love this hotel! It's luxurious and that cigar lounge is so cosy, even though I don't smoke!

  23. What a stunning luxury hotel! We hope to go to Warsaw soon, and so I will definitely keep this luxury hotel in mind. The decor alone looks stunning, but it sounds like the hospitality is great too.

  24. I remember coming to Warsaw on a rainy drub day. If first impressions matter, it wouldn’t be a memorable one. However, if I stayed at Raffles, it could be a different story. Jokes aside, the hotel looks magnificent. Just the grand suite bathroom alone is worth a visit. My only remark would be - seemingly, all hotels around the world regardless of their status tend to lean toward strangely colored carpets. The bedroom is so stylish, but the red concoction on a floor is out of tune. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t deter me from patronizing Raffles of my next visit to Warsaw.

    1. Lol I've never paid much attention to the carpets, but I'll look out for it next time!

  25. Raffles is definitely one of the best hotel brands out there and the elegance they promote reflects beautifully at Europejski. I like that the hotel is centrally located, 'cause that matter a lot when you are visiting a new city. Loved the rooms and the bathroom with the tub was my favourite.

  26. Love the luxurious feel of this modern yet traditional hotel. Among all the sections, loved the feel of the spa. I so need that now. The location too seems to be a plus. Well covered

  27. This looks like an amazing hotel. I especially liked the mosaic in the Spa room. The bathrooms also had a gorgeous color scheme. I feel like I would love to visit here during Christmas time, being located next to the Christmas markets seems so perfect.

    1. It's a great place to visit during Christmas, especially as it's right by the market too 🙂

  28. Holy. Wow. That has to be one of the poshest hotels I've ever seen. I love the grandness of the place. The vibe is just amazing.

  29. Looks like a beautiful hotel! Would definitely consider staying here when I visit Warsaw especially since it has such a great location.

  30. I adore luxury hotels and there I feel kind a more relax, I wouldn't mind to rest at least for a day in this one. Looks really amazing! 🙂

  31. The Raffles Europejski looks like a perfect place to stay. The best part is the spa. I have stayed at the Raffles in Singapore and can vouch for their hospitality.

  32. I love the Raffles Chain of Hotels. Warsaw is definitely on my list to visit. I can't wait to have a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar. The bedrooms looked amazing and very comfortable. The decor is beautiful. Such a great place to stay.

    1. It's a gorgeous place to stay, and so luxurious too! Definitely consider it when you visit Warsaw

  33. What a gorgeous hotel! I'd soak in that tub for an hour, visit that amazing spa, and climb into that cozy bed. You might not ever get me to leave. Looks amazing.

  34. This is an absolutely wonderful find. The hotel has such beautiful cozy bedrooms. The spa looks so enticing. The fact that it is so close to the major attractions like the castle is another plus point.
