Hotel Bristol, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Warsaw

I stayed at the Bristol with my wife for my birthday. This property is simply amazing, as soon as you enter the hotel you perceive a feeling of luxury. It's located right next to the Presidential Palace, close to the old city (Stare Miasto). You can go anywhere on foot from here.|The check in experience was great, the girl who checked us in was really nice and everything went fast and smooth. We just had to wait a couple of minutes for our room to be ready but it was 2 pm and it's perfectly normal. |The room (345) had a view on the park. It was extremely clean (great job HSK!), with a fantastic bathroom and a very very comfortable bed. The lined also smelled really good.|The Breakfast Team is very well trained, the quality of the food is top notch: the buffet is great and the choice from the à la carte menu is enough to satisfy everyone. We tried the Benedict eggs, the avocado sandwich and the American pancake: all amazing. |Unfortunately we had no time to try the Bar, who has a huge selection of gins, and the spa. But the plan is to come back again.|Everyone is smiling and helpful, and this is what you expect from a Hotel like this. We will suggest the Bristol to all our friends.

Best location to visit the old town. Airport bus stops is almost door to door. We got an executive twin room with a view, which is very big. Thanks for upgrade and early availability to check in. The twin beds and pillows are absolutely comfortable as if on a cloud. Service is professional, attentive and polite. Breakfast variety and quality was one of the best I have ever had if one needs a good breakfast to start the day. I booked this one especially for the spa, sauna and swimming pool to relax after a long day walking. Highly recommended. Will return to stay here if I come back to Warsaw again. I saw kids around at the breakfast room. Hotel Parking is available at around 40€ per day but street parking is available at less cost. Multi-Charger for smart phone next to the bed.

In late June, I had an extended two-week stay at Hotel Bristol in Warsaw, first for attending meetings and followed by a comfortable and laid-back leisure stay to explore Warsaw's sites and rich history.||When I arrived at the driveway of Hotel Bristol, I was very impressed by the service provided by the bellman, who was professional and promptly assisted with the luggage. While the property is historic, it has been well-integrated with modern furnishings and amenities.||What made this experience quite memorable was the high level of service and hospitality. A special thank you to the hotel staff, including Manager Christopher and Dominika, as well as associates Dariusz and Vitaliia from housekeeping. The entire team at Hotel Bristol went above and beyond to assist, ensuring it was a comfortable extended stay.||Additionally, the recognition of Bonvoy Elite Status was also excellent. From pre-arrival communication to a courteous check-in process and room upgrades, the Ambassador Elite status was fully recognized and handled very professionally. ||The hotel's location has to be the best in Warsaw. It is situated directly next to the presidential palace and is also located in the heart of Old Town, where numerous landmarks and restaurants are located. The property is also close to the central business district, only a few minutes ride away by car.||Everything was perfect except for the on-site dining experience at Marconi. There is certainly room for improvement in terms of service and cuisine, not to mention the unprofessional behavior of the attendant, Olat.||All in all, it was a wonderful stay, and I highly recommend Hotel Bristol to both leisure and business travelers who plan to visit Warsaw.

Very warm welcome from the front desk at our arrival. The suite was great. Super comfortable bed and top quality sheets (I’m a snob for sheets!). Housekeeping twice per day. Breakfast was exceptional. Great view from our room and the location was perfect. We stayed for 5 nights.||I will definitely go back. It was one of the best stays I ever had.

I stayed at Hotel Bristol in Warsaw from June-July and had a memorable stay. The service by the entire team was outstanding. Special thanks to Ksenia and Christopher at the Front Office—they were so dedicated and passionate and ensured every guest had a comfortable stay. The property is a historic classic—beautiful architecture—and is located in possibly the best location in Warsaw, right next to the Presidential Palace. I would highly recommend Hotel Bristol and look forward to returning the next time I visit Warsaw.

Best hotel in town. I have been in Warsaw in many opportunities and stayed at a variety of hotels. None of them was at the level of this one. Their breakfast is superb, the rooms are very comfortable and their service is outstanding. They have a nice indoor pool, a good gym and a sauna.If you can afford it, do not hesitate and stay at this place.

This is a truly beautiful hotel, both inside and outside. Our room was large, immaculate, and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The concierge was very helpful and attentive. The adjoining Bristol Cafe is lovely, and has amazing pastries. The one very lacking part of the hotel is the front desk/reception staff. The people were unfriendly, surly, uninterested, and lazy. I had an issue with a double reservation that they did not want to resolve absent my insistence. They would not even break a large bill for me. Their response to questions was always negative. In short, they were just awful and should be replaced.

Historical place which makes your stay something really meaningful. Staff is friendly and food is amazing - we visited Cafe Bristol, Lanes Bar and Champagne Bar on the top floor with amazing view over the city. One evening, we started here with a glass of champagne and blini with caviar, which was unforgettable! I also recommend SPA - had the best facial treatment I ever experienced… Will be back!

VERY NICE hotel!! Great customer service! Lovely couple of bars, a tea/coffee and pastry spot too. Breakfast buffet also with menu options had every kind of breakfast food you could think of. Rooms were spacious and bed were comfortable. We used the hotel car service to get to a local function. All staff members were extremely friendly and they assisted with special requests. Great location to walk through old town and plenty of nearby restaurants. If I can afford it, I will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Lovely! Great floor plan, restaurant, and hotel staff. Stay here again if trips allow

tasteful lobby and spacious suite. quiet w helpful polite staff. moderate sized gym w a decent amount of equipment. delicious breakfast with nice outdoor courtyard. good location next to old town w lots of restaurants/shopping

This is not what one would expect for a 5-star hotel luxury collection. Do not stay here. After a long day of travel, we found out the hotel restaurant was closed because they were hosting an event there. While the hotel advertises a high-end restaurant, they offered us a "cafe" as the hotel restaurant that required walking outside and had a menu that could be described as adequate for lunch. The cafe didn't even have a restroom inside. To go to the bathroom, you needed to put your coat on and go back outside in the middle of the winter. While I am eligible for an upgrade due to my Marriott Status, I was told by the check-in staff that the manager did not want to give up the available suite. I would find another hotel.

I was here for 5 nights a couple of weeks ago for work. Still wonderful. I had to order room service three nights, and each instance was very good. My food experiences in Poland generally have not been good, but the fare at Hotel Bristol suites my SF Bay Area palette. The breakfast buffet consistently has really good precut pineapple, cantaloupe, and other fruit. They also have Irish-like breakfast options like beans, fried tomatoes, eggs, etc. Croissants are ok, but overall for buffet food it's fantastic. And you can order eggs from the wait staff. I didn't get a butler this time, though :) I must have gotten the royal treatment the first time possibly because they knew it was my first time and wanted to impress. Which they did. Bristol is next to the presidential palace and at the edge of Warsaw's old town. There are protests sometimes there, and the area can be blocked off, but it's a nice part of the city. The Raffles, which is even nicer, is across the street (and I have my sights set on you next). The summer weather I experienced was lovely (30C/85F) and strolling in the old town neighborhood was enjoyable.

The Hotel Bristol is part of the Luxury Hotel Collection with SPG. The hotel is located in the Old Town. I was able to book the room after filing for a successful Best Rate Guarantee, which garnered me an extra 2,000 Starpoints. Upon entering the hotel, a tasteful lobby with Old World charm greets you. The front desk is located to the left. Check-in was quick, but thorough and within a few minutes I was on my way to the room. The hallways are elegantly decorated. I was assigned Room 442, a room with two twin beds. Upon entering the room, there is a short hallway with the bedroom to the right. The beds were pushed together, rather than being separate. Great if you are traveling with someone you don't mind sharing a bed with, otherwise awkward. No matter the case, having the crease between both beds can be uncomfortable. There was a bench at the foot of each bed. Two bottles of complimentary water were provided, and much appreciated. To the left of the beds, was a small desk with limited workspace, and two chairs and small table. The flat screen TV was next to one of the chairs, and was easy to view from the beds. Underneath the TV, was the mini bar. The bathroom was somewhat small. There was a single sink with very limited counter space, which is bothersome since I like to have a lot of room. Given that the hotel was built in 1901, I wouldn't imagine that most of the rooms are very spacious. There was also a shower/tub combo with the dreaded half glass shield. As usual, the floor got wet after taking a shower. Elemis products were provided. There was a toilet and bidet, with additional "counter space" above both but I can't imagine anybody wanting to utilize that space unless absolutely necessary except for housekeeping as the towels were stored there. We had a quick overnight at the hotel, but all employees were friendly. The hotel is conveniently located to many shops, restaurants, and sites. If wanting to stay in this area, the Hotel Bristol is an excellent choice.

We stopped into the Hotel Bristol for a glass of wine at the bar. We walked into a splendid room with a distinguished gentleman playing a grand piano (lest we forget that Warsaw is Chopin's home). We took a seat and had a glass of wine, coupled with accoutrements. The room coupled with the music made the moment so magical that I had to extend our time over a second glass of wine and warm conversation with my beautiful wife.

Best hotel in Warsaw- at edge of Old Town and a quick can to everywhere. Hotel has several bars and restaurants and the wine bar is very nice (order dessert, for sure!!) It is no longer a Meridien- in my view, that's a good thing- place is immaculate and the rooms are amazing. SPG member upgrade was outstanding and staff was excellent.

Great hotel for EU. Very good size rooms. Friendly staff. Good breakfast buffet. I was pleased with everything in general. Even the pool and gym are fairly nice for EU hotel standards. Great place for the cost. Quite inexpensive for a Luxury hotel. The chocolates on the pillow at night is a nice and delicious touch.

This hotel is so clean and beautiful. The staff speaks English and Polish and are very helpful. An amazing buffet breakfast is provided for guests. The rooms are very elegant and whenever staff is done cleaning chocolate is left on your night stand or bed. The staff is so kind and make your stay at the hotel a very good one.

Luxury Collection Bristol Warsaw The Hotel was terrific! It is superior! Everyone goes out of his or her way to help you. We had a super suite that was great. They had Champaign and special cookies waiting for us. The breakfast is terrific. The beds are very comfortable.

Unexpectedly awesome. My room was a small suite with a living room and 1.5 baths. Nicely appointed bathroom (apart from the somewhat short glass barrier in the shower that seemed to get things soaked). Bed was extremely comfortable. I slept like a big fat jet-lagged baby. What was surprising was the food. I spend way too much time in hotels and have become used to lackluster food way too often. The wine bar had a gorgeous lox dish (we ordered 3 of those) as well as a duck breast dish that was spectacular. We also had an oddly amazing hamburger in the other restaurant. Breakfast is a buffet, but it was solid.

Really nice place to stay, as long as you are not staying there around the 10th of the month. The hotel is located next to the presidential palace therefore access to the hotel is limited because of an ongoing monthly protest staged by one of the political parties. The chances of getting punched in the face by one of the protesters or your typical hooligans are very high.

Top notch luxury right in the heart of Warsaw. Wonderful room with view of Presidential Palace. Have a night cap in the Column Bar, live piano music and fun drink menu. Breakfast left a bit to be desired both in offerings and service. The hot items were your typical buffet offerings, bacon, scrabbled eggs, grilled tomatoes, a potato offering, beans, mushrooms and a type of pancake/crepe. The cold buffet did have a nice variety of selections. The whole experience just didn't fit in with the luxury reputation that the hotel has gained. The service was also spotty, had to ask 2 different servers (the second one we had to ask twice) for cream. In their defense, the restaurant was crowded but still, there were plenty of servers running/standing around. Maybe establish a coffee bar where guests can serve themselves. Special recognition goes out to Agnieska at the front desk. She provided a very smooth check-in process. She was also very patient with me when I goofed up our internet service. Turns out you receive a code for access for each day, NOT each device, my bad. Agnieska did explain that during check-in but I was too preoccupied at trying to find a place for pierogis :) Thanks for a wonderful stay Hotel Bristol, we would absolutely recommend your property for anyone visiting Warsaw.

Holy mackerel am I happy that I stayed here. Everything about this hotel is incredible. Will recommend to everyone, and at a price that's not a heck of a lot more than garbage hotels in the area. Well worth it.

I'm a SPG Platinum 100 member and had a wonderful experience with the Hotel Bristol in Vienna. I had a trip with an anticipated long layover in Warsaw and booked a room at this hotel through the SPG app. My flight plans wound up changing and I tried to cancel the reservation within 12 hours of booking, though I was told the room was fully non-refundable despite no readily apparently disclosure on the app. I contacted SPG customer service and the hotel not only steadfastly refused to cancel the reservation, but then billed my credit card immediately after talking to them (it hasn't even been charged yet). If the spiteful way this hotel treats one of SPG's best customers is indication, I'd avoid it like the plague.

Super high end and one of the fanciest hotels I've stayed at. I visited for a work trip and was blown away by how beautiful my room was. I was upgraded to a King suite. The hotel is also in the heart of all activity and walking distance from old town. I would highly recommend this hotel.

To get five stars, you have to knock my socks off. Yeah, one of my rare 5 stars. I was looking for a hotel near the Old Town that had a pool. Typically I don't do luxury hotels, they are not worth the extra cost. Compared to USA hotels, this was relatively inexpensive. From the airport, we got a taxi and told the drive the hotel, he says 'u la la. Number one hotel in Warsaw'. Unfortunately, the street was closed for Sunday afternoon, so he dropped us off near the hotel and pointed at it. The hotel was clean and nice. The staff speaks English. The room we got on the second floor was nice. A king bed, not common in Europe. Nicely appointed room. Marble bathroom. Very nice. We didn't do the breakfast buffet; probably more than I wanted to eat. There were several coffee houses just down the street past the Presidential Palace that sufficed. The pool was an indoor pool off the spa area. Interesting ambiance and nice. The hotel was near the Old Town, some of the museums and the University. Nice location. They do have a service car to the airport that was only a little more expensive than the taxi, so we did use it. Nice and convenient. Overall, a great stay in Warsaw.

A gorgeous cultural landmark within walking distance of Old Town. The Neo-Renaissance architecture and romantic interiors are a lovely match to the historic ambiance of its location. Chic rooms with marble bathrooms, helpful staff, and a well-worth-it price tag. Le Mèridien Bristol surely deserves to be part of Starwood's Luxury Collection of hotels!

Nice hotel - clean, quiet, with a good breakfast. The building itself is grand and luxurious, but the room furnishings are old. You shower in a tub that is like a v-shaped hull boat, adding to the adventure was water temperature continuously fluctuating between warm and cold. Pricey.

Checked in again for a one night stay as I am leaving Poland. Sad to say that I gave this hotel one more chance. Our room was so small that we could not find a area to open our suitcases, except for the bed. This was a deluxe room that we booked! Our friends that we are traveling with have had the same room experience
