Comprehensive upgrade for InterContinental Warsaw

The five-star InterContinental Warsaw, one of the most renowned hotels in the Polish capital, is undergoing a comprehensive modernization. With 45 floors and a height of 164 metres, the InterContinental ranks among the tallest hotels in Europe. It offers 414 rooms, including 76 suites, as well as a spa, fitness centre and one of the highest indoor swimming pools on the continent.
At the heart of this transformation lies a new restaurant and bar concept designed to appeal to both international guests and local residents. The redesign of the lobby and first floor marks the beginning of a new chapter for the hotel.

Together with the renowned Gorgeous Group and internationally active design studio Goddard Littlefair, new spaces are being created that combine gastronomy, design and atmosphere in a truly distinctive way. Local artists are also contributing to the project, adding cultural depth and a unique creative identity. The goal is to establish an open and inspiring social hub in the heart of Warsaw.

The first phase, scheduled for completion by June 2025, will see the creation of a vibrant new bar at the centre of the hotel lobby, envisioned as a dynamic, all-day social meeting point. The second phase, to be completed by autumn 2025, will introduce a 563-square-metre signature restaurant featuring a private dining room and an open show kitchen. In close collaboration with acclaimed chef Karol Okrasa, a culinary offering is emerging that reinterprets traditional dishes in a contemporary way – creative, regionally rooted and open to global influences. The restaurant will present itself as a “casual luxe” destination, combining a relaxed atmosphere, modern cuisine and panoramic views. The lobby bar is conceived as a tribute to nature, with classic cocktails refined using Polish herbs, wild plants and foraged ingredients – creating a distinctive, locally inspired flavour profile.
