Where to Stay in Warsaw, Poland
Are you wondering where to stay in Warsaw, Poland?
Keep reading for my top picks for the best hotels in Warsaw for every budget!
I visited Warsaw in December and quickly fell in love with this city, which is the capital of Poland. Although most of the city’s Old Town was sadly destroyed by bombing during World War II, it was completely rebuilt and restored by the Polish people after the war. I stayed near the Old Town in Warsaw.
This is a great area to stay in, especially around the holidays because the Christmas decorations are amazing and you’ll be within easy walking distance of the Old Town’s Christmas markets.
Here are some of the top things to do in Warsaw:
- Stroll around the quaint, compact Old Town of Warsaw
- Walk along the Royal Route, the mainly pedestrianized street leading to the Old Town
- Climb up the Old Town Observation Tower for great views
- Enjoy a Chopin concert at Fryderyk Concert Hall
- Take a tour of the Royal Castle in Warsaw
- Visit the Warsaw Uprising Museum if you’re interested in history (free on Mondays)
- Visit the beautiful Wilanów Palace (amazing lights display at Christmas!)
- Learn how to cook Polish dumplings, or pierogis, at a cooking class
And now let’s get into where to stay in Warsaw.
Where I Stayed in Warsaw
I stayed at Hotel Bristol in Warsaw, and I would highly recommend this hotel.
Part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, Hotel Bristol is an amazing five-star luxury hotel situated on the Royal Route right across the street from the Presidential Palace (which I had a view of from my room!)
It’s just a 10-minute stroll down the Royal Route to get to Warsaw’s Old Town from Hotel Bristol. This was a very convenient location for exploring the whole city, and I found it to be the perfect base.
The hotel itself was also excellent, and it was decked out beautifully for Christmas.
The rooms at Hotel Bristol are comfortable and spacious, and many offer direct views onto the Royal Route. Amenities at this hotel include a full-service spa and an indoor swimming pool.

Hotel Bristol
As I mentioned above, Hotel Bristol is where I stayed in Warsaw, and I highly recommend it. This hotel was perfect for exploring all that the city had to offer, and just a 10-minute walk from the Old Town.
It’s a great luxury hotel, and yet like most of the five-star hotels in Poland, it’s a lot cheaper than what you would pay for a five-star hotel elsewhere in Europe, making it a good value for money too.
Raffles Europejski Warsaw
Raffles Europejski Warsaw is another one of the best luxury hotels in the city. This five-star hotel is located just across from Hotel Bristol, so it also has an excellent location along the Royal Route.
This hotel dates back to the 1850s, but it has been beautifully restored with a modern, chic style. Amenities at this hotel include a spa, a sauna, a fitness center, and an indoor swimming pool.
Hotel Bellotto

Hotel Verte
One more excellent luxury hotel to consider is Hotel Verte, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. This five-star hotel is in the Old Town, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into a palace.
Staying at this hotel, you’ll enjoy an atmosphere of palatial luxury combined with modern style. Amenities include a fitness center. This is another luxury hotel in Warsaw that offers great value for money.
Hotel Polonia Palace
Hotel Polonia Palace is a good mid-range hotel in Warsaw if you don’t want to spend as much money. It’s located in the center of the city, just a five-minute walk from the train station in the heart of downtown.
This is a good location for exploring the city, although it’s a 15-minute tram ride to get to the Old Town. And if you want to be convenient to the train station and bus terminal, this is a great place to stay.

It’s a 25-minute walk to the Old Town and just a five-minute walk to the Copernicus Science Centre, a major museum.
This hotel is a good place to stay in the city if you’re looking for luxurious style at an affordable price. It’s easy to get around the whole city from here thanks to nearby metro, bus, and tram stations.
