Intercontinental Warsaw מלון

I was quite shocked at the architectural variety in Warsaw, despite its rocky past. The stark contrast between this ultra-modern high-rise hotel and the towering PKiN located just across the street really encapsulates Warsaw quite well. Located next to a large shopping center with very good transit access, the IC Warszawa proved to be the perfect place to stay in town. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, while maintaining the stylish modernism. The expansive swimming pool, overlooking the PKiN building and half of Warsaw from the 42nd floor, provides the perfect start and finish to any day in town. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. I did not expect much from Warsaw or from this hotel on my brief visit on the final leg of my trip, but they both managed to completely blow me away. I look forward to returning in the near future, to explore more of the city and indulge more in this hotel.

To go to this hotel, we took a direct train from the airport to the central station. Once we went out of the central station, the hotel was about 10 minutes walk in the direction of the palace of culture and science Staline palace. We had a suite room on the 33rd floor, and from our room we had a good view of the city and the palace. There were two toilets, one in the bathroom and the other near the entrance. The suite had a living room with a work table. In the bathroom there were a bathtub and a separate shower space. The amenities were of good quality L'occitane products. The king size bed is comfortable. There was a pillow menu, and it was possible to ask for different kinds of pillows. We asked for a firmer pillow, as the standard pillows were too soft for us. There was a turn down service every evening, which is becoming rare and rare these days. The executive lounge is on the 40th floor if we remember correctly and excellent. During dinner time. the tables were covered with a table cloth and prepared with table napkins as well as knife and fork. There were 3 different hot meals and a soup, which change every evening, with various small appetizer dishes and desserts, not to mention different kinds of beer and wine. There were also two kinds of Polish vodka, which were excellent. This was one of the best lounges we had ever known. The breakfast was also very good, and there was a Harpist playing live. We had never seen this in any hotel before!! In the breakfast buffet there were a lot of Polish delicacies like herring filet, hot dishes, etc. There is a subway station nearby, and by combining subway and tramway, it was very easy to go to the old town area. So, this hotel is a very good choice, if you want to visit Warsaw. By the way, the train we took to go back to the airport at around 7:30 am was very crowdy and 15 minutes late, maybe because of light snow. So, if you have a lot of luggage, we think it is better to take a taxi.
