The City of Warsaw:
Warsaw, the Polish capital, sits divided almost in half by the Vistual River. As an ever-growing, young, metropolitan city, its residents and tourists enjoy a relatively appealing climate almost year round. Warsaw’s architecture and infrastructure has quite a mixture of the very old and the very new. The city itself was heavily damaged during WWII and lost many of its historic sites, which dated back hundreds of years. Today, tourists are welcomed by a modern metropolis, where there are shops, hotels, and eateries. As one of the fastest growing cites in Europe, Warsaw offers nightlife, culture, and various activities to meet the needs of any type of visitor.
Warsaw’s Highlights:
The Royal Castle: Prepare yourself to see a monument that represents the resilience of time and the ability to resist change. This symbol brings back the memories and culture of Poland before the war and before the rise of Communism.
Lazienki Palace: Called the “Palace on the Water” and the “Palace on the Isle,” this unique place began as a bathhouse before being converted into a Neoclassical palace complex built on an artificial island.
Old Town: Warsaw's Old Town is the oldest historic district in the city and a popular destination among tourists. Here, visitors can find a world of cobbled-stone streets and historic architecture. Old Town Market Place comprises the heart of the district and features a wide range of restaurants, cafes, and shops.
Nicolas Capernicus Monument: This monument stands as a testament to founder of modern-day astronomy. Hidden during the Nazi raid, it was rediscovered and placed in Warsaw's History Museum for all to see.
Warsaw Ghetto: During WWII, this section of Warsaw was designated as the only area where Jewish people could live or work. Today, it is filled with monuments, museums, and other memorials commemorating this tragic time in Polish history.
Grand Theater: Once destroyed in WWII, it was rebuilt and now houses ballet, theater, and opera houses.
This century-old grand hotel, next door to the Presidential Palace, was long the city’s most elegant lodging, before falling on hard times, along with Warsaw itself. Today, as Poland recovers from the twentieth century and joins the new Europe, the Bristol is once again its splendid old self.

There are plenty of big business hotels in Warsaw, but the Rialto is the Polish capital's first boutique hotel. Though brand-new, it's a masterpiece of Art Deco design, its retro décor and authentic antique furniture paying homage to the last time Poland was free — the 1920s and '30s.
This is fitting, as t ...
Not to be confused with the British Malmaison chain — MaMaison, no L, is an Eastern European phenomenon, specializing in converting historical buildings to high-end boutique hotels. The markets they’re in are under-served in that particular category, to put it mildly; there’s nothing else in Warsaw, for example, to match the sl ...
