Here, yet again. I see by the post above that we were last here in September. We are here now for 4 nights after a transatlantic cruise from Florida to Southampton. Jumped on a BA flight for about 8k Avios from LHR. Again using a great points rate here of only 87k total with the usual 4th night free credit card thing. As usual, upgraded to a corner room on the 39th floor as Diamond Ambassador with lounge milestone. Again given 55pln f&b voucher and a voucher for 2 drinks in the bar.

What can I say that my prior 5+ reviews have not said? This is just a really great IC.

As usual, the room and housekeeping are great.

The lounge continues to be among the best in Europe. Still serving tiered assortments of wonderful things. Lots of happy and helpful lounge staff. Great drinks and beer. Happy hour is 6-8.

Ate at the bar for an early dinner. Could have been better. Was able to use some of my f&b milestone awards against the bill using the app.

Quick Uber from the airport. It is apparent that Warsaw is much more of a Bolt city. So, downloaded that app and more cars were available/ nearer.

Just back from yet another excellent steak at Beef n Pepper which is about 2 blocks south and one east. The beef rib was amazing. Also they have great “winter tea” when it is cold. Big cup of tea with a plate of fruits and spices.

I see on the app that we are scheduled to come back in August. Can’t wait.
Question. I'm considering this property using cash or points. Do you, or anyone else know how it compares with the Novotel Warszawa Centrum? The InterContinental rates higher on Trip Advisor + the room is much bigger.

I may book a room with breakfast included. Is it just cold + breads + fruit. I haven't read anything about hot items ie egg, pancakes etc.
This is our first visit to the city.

FYI, my only status is the credit card.
