For all Warsaw properties I would check prices via Swoodoo or other meta search engines. Warsaw is a great place for BRG claims.

Huuh, hallo? 100 € for the Westin Warsaw is not expensive at all! It's an excellent value compared to the trash in the US. There is nothing wrong with a 100 € rate @:-)

One can't compare a Polish SPG hotel where Plats get good value versus an IC where Amabassadors get virtually nothing. The choice for a SPG Plat and IC Ambassador is clearly an SPG hotel @:-)

Considering that the property used to go down to the high 30's last year, I do consider Euro 100 to be very expensive for the Westin Warsaw...
Euro 40 is indeed an excellent value, however I do not see myself paying Euro 100 (+ tax ? ) for a solid 5* in Warsaw and the Westin is nothing more than a good, solid 5 star property, actually what a Westin should be.
One has to add, though, that hotel prices in Warsaw are quite volatile...

Nice upgrades, would definitely be back on next occasions
Westin Warsaw, stayed twice in past weeks:
Upgrade to 1BR suite once, business exec room the other time, both from fairly cheap (+- 80 EUR) standard room bookings
- Very friendly & helpful staff throughout (checkin staff maybe a tad slowed down by trying to make sure all Plat benefits are taken care off, but not complaining there)
- Fabulous lounge: breakfast really good offering (in part as I'm not into wild/exotic stuff for that anyways), evening drinks simply superb (all possible drinks, and nice selection of sushi and deserts as food, made this into light dinner on one occasion). Staff excellent as well, can't remember name just now but one of the attendants went beyond all expectations in trying to make everyone present happy, and saw her greet someone who'd stayed here in past by name ... he was utterly surprised & pleased.
Also had one stay at Sheraton: actually very close in terms of experience (decent upgrade, nice lounge with equally good offerings and friendly staff), just personally happen to like current Westin style better. Did not stay at LM Bristol, but saw the hotel and might pick it if e.g. on holiday with girlfriend due to location, just in old town & on main shopping/dining street (mental note: these stays were holiday as well, but on my own & actually very happy to just criss-cross city walking around, so not inconvenienced by either Westin or Sheraton). The three hotels are a good half hour walk apart each, so if on business location would probably determine which one I'd stay at.

Club lounge hours
What are club lounge hours? Do they serve any food late in the evening?
Hilton Warsaw for example have food only until 7-8pm and after that nuts and booze only

The club lounge is open from 6AM till 11PM, as far as I can recall.
They serve breakfast till 10:30AM on all days, and some fingerfood and snacks between 6PM till 8PM. Apart from that they have coffee, cold drinks and some snacks and biscuits.
The lounge is pretty good.

Happy hour every day 1700-1900 featuring Polish, German, and Czech beers (bottle) and virtually every hard liquor (including tequila) that you would desire.

How is the upgrade policy for plats at the Westin Warsaw ?:
Is it done automatically at check-in or is it better to send a short email beforehand ?

checked into the hotel around 2pm at the Platinum VIP check in desk
upgraded to a huge 1 bedroom Suite overlooking the city on the executive floor level.
Platinum benefits- free wifi code was given and can be used on multiple devices, also chose 500 point amenity
Was given lounge access and breakfast is held at the lounge as well. Will report back with lounge/breakfast findings.

Nice stay
Stayed at the Westin Warsaw last week. Was upgraded to a very nice and spacious Executive Suite by the front desk agent. The room view was not that great, though - overlooking an ugly building.
The lounge is nice, but the tables could be laid out a bit better. I preferred breakfast downstairs though (also ok for Plats).
Had room service twice and the late night food was a lot better than expected.

Back! Staying for two nights. Made an BRG claim = 152 zloty per night, so a great deal.
Upgraded to an executive deluxe suite automatically. Great place to stay!
