Inspiring History
1857
The Legend is Born
Hotel Europejski in Warsaw was founded by count Aleksander Przeździecki who decided to introduce to Warsaw hotel traditions until then known only in Western Europe. This vision, under the eye of renowned Polish architect of Italian descent, Henryk Marconi, took the form of a neo-renaissance palace, with its alluring ambiance and unique surroundings. The hotel was opened in 1847 and for the next 160 years, it was attracting business people, artists and intellectuals from all over the world.
