Warsaw’s palatial Hotel Europejski, built by Enrico Marconi in 1857, has been painstakin­gly restored to its pre-war glory over the last four years in preparatio­n for a triumphant reopening in June 2018. Taking charge of the management the property – and, with it, over 160 years of history and heritage – is the illustriou­s Raffles Hotels & Resorts brand, whose own history began just 30 years after the Europejski’s with Raffles Singapore. The fully restored Polish icon features 106 rooms and suites – including a 293-square-metre Presidenti­al Suite complete with a 19th-century piano – and has retained its location on Warsaw’s Royal Route with views onto the Old Town and the Presidenti­al Palace. Gourmet options range from modern Polish cuisine at the Europejski Grill to the signature Long Bar, and almost 500 artworks by Polish artists are displayed throughout the hotel.
