Located in the heart of Warsaw, the Bristol is more than just a hotel -- it's a piece of the city's history. The 112-year-old building survived both World Wars and has welcomed guests as varied as Queen Elizabeth, Michael Jackson and German chancellor Angela Merkel.

In 1989 British investors began extensive renovations on the Hotel Bristol, which reopened in 1993. Restored to its former glory, this Warsaw institution regularly ranks among the world's top 40 hotels.
