The 43rd-floor pool is arguably the best hotel pool in Europe
Dead-center location opposite the Palace of Culture and Science
Breakfast at Platter by Karol Okrasa is a massive, high-quality spread
สรุปด่วน: A skyscraper icon that trades boutique charm for jaw-dropping views and a pool you'll brag about for years.
รีวิวโดย @fly_with_shalhevet: I spent my morning swimming on the 43rd floor and the view of the Palace of Culture is insane. It feels like you're floating right above the city center. Definitely the highlight of my Warsaw trip—you have to experience this pool at least once.

The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the pool and location but consistently grumble about the dated room decor and steep parking fees.
Reality check
You are paying for the verticality; the rooms themselves are standard corporate beige and starting to show their age compared to newer nearby rivals like the Nobu or Raffles.
You are a swimmer or wellness junkie
You need to be within 5 minutes of Central Station
You love high-rise city views
ความสะอาดและการบำรุงรักษา
9.2
Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though rare reports of missed refills (tea/coffee).
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling, though one isolated report of 'small black mold' suggests checking grout in older rooms.
Maintenance: Good condition, but some furniture in standard rooms feels 'tired' or dated.
Linens & towels: Crisp, high-quality white linens; towels are fluffy and plentiful.
Odors & scents: Neutral, fresh corporate hotel scent; no lingering smoke smells reported.

สิ่งที่ควรรู้
The pool requires a reservation during busy times; book your slot at check-in.
The 'hole' in the building isn't just design; it's a legal requirement to let sun hit the apartment block behind it.
Breakfast is excellent but costs ~115 PLN if not included in your rate.
สิ่งที่ควรเตรียมตัว
Swimsuit (non-negotiable, even if you don't swim, you need a photo in that pool)
Gym gear (the 44th-floor gym has incredible views)
Formal wear if you plan to dine at Platter
Room Genie
เลือกสรรยอด

Rooms near the elevator bank (noise)

เคล็ดลับท่องเที่ยว
✨
Don't just swim; go up to the 44th floor gym even if you don't work out—the view is actually better than from the pool deck.
✨
The 'Classic Palace View' rooms are worth the upgrade cost; the standard city view is fine, but the Palace view is the money shot.
✨
If the hotel breakfast is too pricey (115 PLN), walk 5 minutes to 'Charlotte' on Menora Square for a trendy, cheaper French breakfast.
5 สิ่งที่ต้องรู้ก่อนเดินทาง
💡The massive 'hole' in the building structure exists solely because local residents sued to ensure their apartments still got sunlight.
💡The pool water can be a bit chilly for some; it's a lap pool, not a bath.
💡You might have to wear a swimming cap if the lifeguard is feeling strict (rules vary).
💡The elevators are incredibly fast (4m/s) but can cause ear-popping.
💡There is a hidden 'buffer floor' used during renovations to keep noise away from guests.
