The Best Hotels in Poland

A glass of fresh orange juice meets you in the grand lobby, a nod to the Maltese orange trees filling the gardens outside. This Forbes Four Star hotel near Attard began life as a regal villa and still leans into the heritage: columns, classical architecture, formal service, and multiple restaurants including one from Francesco Mazzei. The spa, pools, and general air of unhurried ceremony make it clear this is not a place for people in a hurry.

A neoclassical pile on Warsaw's Royal Route, Raffles Europejski has been around forever and carries itself accordingly: hushed corridors, high ceilings, marble bathrooms, and a modern Polish art collection that turns the lobby into a gallery you happen to be checking into. Rooms lean toward calming neutrals and custom furnishings, many with windows onto Piłsudski Square or the historic street below. It holds a Forbes Four Star.

The doorman here has been greeting guests in white gloves on the Royal Route since before anyone can remember, and the lobby's crystal chandeliers and polished marble make a persuasive case that nothing has changed. This grand luxury hotel sits between the Presidential Palace and Old Town, blending neo-Renaissance and art nouveau in a way that makes the rest of Warsaw feel briefly modern. Café Bristol's pastries alone draw a faithful morning crowd.
