FOLLOWING an extensive multi-million dollar renovation, Hotel Bristol, one of Warsaw’s most iconic establishments, joins The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts’ ensemble of the world’s finest hotels. Owned by Starman Poland, Hotel Bristol, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Warsaw marks the luxury brand’s first hotel in Poland, combining its authentic, artistic spirit and its cultural heritage with contemporary glamour and elegance.
“As The Luxury Collection portfolio continues to grow globally, we are thrilled to introduce the brand in Poland with the signing of the iconic Hotel Bristol,” said Paul James, global brand leader, The Luxury Collection, St Regis Hotels & Resorts and W Hotels Worldwide. “A landmark in Warsaw since 1901, The Luxury Collection will celebrate the hotel’s distinctive character, indigenous charm and the unparalleled service that allows our global guests to experience the city through a unique lens.”
“As part of Starwood’s strategy to strengthen our Luxury Collection brand portfolio, together with our owner partners, we are making major investments to renovate and restore some of our most iconic hotels,” commented Roeland Vos, president, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. “The addition of Hotel Bristol to The Luxury Collection brand portfolio underlines our commitment to providing global explorers the chance to discover this incredible destination with the exceptional service and style they have come to expect from the brand.”
Situated in one of the most prestigious locations in Warsaw, next to the Presidential Palace and on the historic and fashionable Royal Route, Hotel Bristol has been at the centre of Varsovian society since it was founded in 1901 by Ignacy Paderewski – a renowned composer, piano virtuoso and former Polish Prime Minister. Behind its majestic neo-renaissance façade, the hotel’s 168 guestrooms and 38 suites were recreated by acclaimed London-based hotel designer, Anita Rosato, to recapture its illustrious history and romantic aura with subtle references to the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. Rosato worked closely with the city’s Architectural Conservator during the renovation of the 110-year-old hotel to ensure that Hotel Bristol’s historical charm is preserved.
Dining offerings at Hotel Bristol includes Advinture, a new wine bar, the Marconi Restaurant serving delectable Polish and Mediterranean cuisine and the legendary Café Bristol which has enchanted its guests since 1901.
Hotel Bristol also introduces the brand’s signature Luxury Collection Concierge service to all guests, offering the most discerning global travellers an extraordinary experience and impeccable service. The concierge provides guests recommendations to discover and experience the city in an authentic and indigenous way, reinforcing Hotel Bristol’s position as the Varsovian destination authority.
