Features
What to expect: Amid the sprouting skyscrapers of Warsaw's business district, the Radisson's glass façade leads to a marble foyer where friendly receptionists staff an inlaid wooden desk. A parquet and frosted-glass feature wall hides a staircase to the mezzanine. Suited business people meet over coffee in the lobby bar and grown-up families peruse maps while leaning on the foyer's yellow columns. Amenity highlights: Guests swim in an indoor pool beneath a star-spangled ceiling, laze in the jetted tub or work out with the help of in-house trainers. A beautician provides facials and make-up. The hotel's first floor is given over to conference rooms with espresso machines and professional sound systems. Insider tip: The 1950s skyscraper visible from many rooms is Poland's largest building, the Palace of Culture and Science. During the 1940s, Soviet leader Stalin commissioned seven modern skyscrapers for Moscow to bring it up to date with the USA. As a 'gift of friendship', an eighth was built in Warsaw, the only one of its type outside the USSR. It now holds cinemas, theatres, and exhibitions.
Ogrodowa - A breakfast buffet is served in this bright, cheerful room, where red and green chairs are lit by colored light fittings. At other times, the Ogrodowa can be used for functions. Latino Brasserie @ ferdy's - Named after a famous Polish novel, ferdy's serves Latin American-French fusion cuisine in an Argentinean atmosphere. Lunch and dinner are served in this room paneled with dark wood and upholstered in red and pink. Guests play chess in deep leather couches, read, or enjoy live Latin music. Lobby bar - Serving drinks, coffees, and Polish snacks all day, the lobby bar, with its view of the street, is often full of business guests holding impromptu meetings.
