InterContinental Warszawa, an IHG Hotel

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you – the InterContinental Warszawa is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve actually made it in life, even if you’re just staying there for a few nights. Walking into that lobby, there’s this immediate sense that you’re somewhere serious – marble floors that echo just enough to feel grand but not hollow, and honestly, the staff treats you like they’re genuinely happy you chose their place. You know what really got me? The way they handle check-in. No rushing, no making you feel like you’re holding up a line, even when there clearly is one forming behind you.

The location is actually perfect if you know Warsaw at all – you’re basically in the heart of everything without being stuck in some touristy bubble. I mean, you can walk to the Palace of Culture (yeah, that massive Stalin-era building everyone either loves or hates) in maybe ten minutes, but you’re also close enough to the Vistula boulevards that you can actually escape the city buzz when you need to. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays inside, even though you’re literally surrounded by the business district. The windows must be some serious engineering because I barely heard the trams rumbling by on Marszałkowska, and trust me, those things aren’t subtle.

The rooms – well, they’re what you’d expect from a proper five-star place, but with these little touches that show someone actually thought about what travelers need. Like, there’s enough outlets near the bed (revolutionary, I know), and the bathroom lighting doesn’t make you look like you’re dying. The bed situation is honestly incredible – I’m usually a light sleeper, but I slept like the dead every night. One thing though, and this is super specific, but if you’re staying in summer, the air conditioning is powerful enough that you might want to pack a light sweater for inside. They really don’t mess around with keeping things cool. The service throughout your stay feels effortless in that way that only happens when a hotel has been doing this for a while and has worked out all the kinks. Room service shows up when they say it will, housekeeping somehow cleans around your stuff without moving anything, and the concierge actually knows the city beyond the obvious tourist spots. With a 9.1 rating, you’re getting exactly what those numbers promise – just without any of the pretentious nonsense that sometimes comes with places this nice.

• Natalia from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The room was very spacious.The bed was very comfortable. The location is great. The Palace of the Culture is across the road, huge shopping mal Zlote Tarasy 1 minute walk. We took uber all the time and the drives were not longer than 10-15 minutes to all the locations we wanted to visit.

• Roseanna from United Kingdom (10/10)

  What wasn’t to like? Every little detail was incredible. Every inch of the hotel was so clean, the swimming pool was beautiful, especially the view. The little details in the room were so thoughtful, if you’d forgotten something, it was there for you. I also don’t think we’ve ever had such a comfortable bed in a hotel, and those pillows 😍 – we need them in our life!
  
  Every member of staff we encountered too, were so friendly and they couldn’t do enough for their guests.
