The Westin Warsaw

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first walked into The Westin Warsaw – honestly, I’d been burned by fancy chain hotels before that look gorgeous online but feel soulless in person. But this place actually surprised me. The lobby hits you with this sort of understated elegance that doesn’t scream “look how expensive we are,” which I appreciated. It’s got these warm wood tones and modern Polish touches that feel intentional rather than decorator-generic. The staff genuinely seemed to know what they were doing too, not just going through the motions like at some places.

What really won me over though was how the hotel sits in the city. I mean, Warsaw’s got this fascinating mix of old and brutally modern architecture everywhere, and from my room on the upper floors, you could actually see both sides of that story playing out across the skyline. The beds are those signature Westin Heavenly ones – and okay, I usually roll my eyes at branded bedding, but I slept better than I had in weeks. The rooms themselves are spacious by European standards, which matters when you’re dealing with suitcases and trying to spread out travel documents. There’s this interesting attention to detail everywhere – good lighting for actually reading (not just mood lighting), outlets where you need them, proper water pressure in the shower. Small things, but they add up when you’re jet-lagged and cranky.

Here’s the thing about staying here – Warsaw isn’t Prague or Budapest where tourists flock to the same three neighborhoods. It’s a working city, which I loved, and this hotel gets that. The concierge team actually knows the local restaurant scene beyond the obvious spots, and they steered me toward this incredible pierogi place that I never would’ve found otherwise. The hotel restaurant is solid too, though honestly a bit pricey even for a five-star place. But the breakfast spread is worth mentioning – proper Polish specialties alongside the usual international fare, and the coffee is legitimately good, not hotel coffee masquerading as good coffee. The service throughout felt Polish in the best way – professional and helpful without being overly chatty or intrusive. With an 8.9 rating, it’s clearly doing something right, and after three nights there, I get it. It’s the kind of place that makes exploring Warsaw feel less exhausting and more exciting, if that makes sense.

Hotel in Warsaw booking should be done early, especially during major cultural festivals when the city hosts internationally significant music and arts events.

• Melanie from Australia (9/10)

  Fabulous service. As a solo traveller & first time being overseas this place was just amazing. The breakfasts were delicious and the choices endless. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff organised a driver to the airport for me, he went above & beyond to get me there on time, despite the President of Ukraine springing a surprise visit that morning which caused traffic. A perfect place to rest and relax before heading back on a 15 000km journey.
